My dear family!
What a week this has been! I feel like not a whole lot has
happened... but a lot of lessons are being learned!
We got a lot of contacting done this week! We've been at a
standstill with a lot of our progressing investigators for a while so we figured
it's time to get out and go to work! We've found a few formers and leads that
we're trying to work with so I guess I'll keep you posted on how that goes in
the upcoming weeks!
So I finally got to go to the mission home! It's only
been 7 1/2 months since I've been out. Hahah. It's such a beautiful home! But
we got to do some service there by cleaning up after the incoming missionaries
left. It was pretty sweet! Plus Sister Holm gave us these cute little SCCM
aprons to thank us for it! Sister Manning and I got matching ones! We just love
them!
We saw K and her mom this week and they are
doing excellent! We committed them to read and pray together as a family and
they're all about it! K (mom) even said "Yeah... I though it was about time
that we started to do that together!" They are golden! They also gave us
these huge boxes of chocolates for a "late Valentine's Day"
present! Hahah. They're too sweet! I love them and I'm so happy that
they've come into my path!
As for (recent investigator), she has had
some stuff come up that has caused her to have some hard feelings towards the
church. We talked with her last night and told her that the church is true and
the people are not. I think that she has a better understanding for that now,
thank goodness for inspired questions! We honestly wouldn't have been able to
do that without the Lord! This week will be the week! I have all the faith in
the world!
Yesterday, I had a realization. This week alone, I've shared
a lot of personal stories about my life before the mission with less-actives
and investigators. I realized that the Lord was preparing me then to help the
people of South Carolina now. I had some trials that I went through that have
helped people here. It's crazy how the Lord has made a plan for me and has
preparing me for this moment in my life before I even thought about serving a
mission! I totally related it to Alma 26:30 in my personal studies this
morning. It was probably one of the coolest moments on my mission thus far.
This upcoming week should be a good one. We don't have any
super cool plans yet but I can just feel it! I've had to rely a lot on the Lord
lately and I think it has just made me love being a missionary even more! I
hope that y'all have a blessed week! Go and talk to everyone about the gospel
:) Love you!
