This week has been a really good one. We
are working tirelessly to bring people to Jesus Christ and help them
realize they have a place and a purpose in this life. We have been
seeing lots of miracles here in the WKM. We are trying to follow all of
the council of the prophet and the apostles. i hope everyone got the
chance to take Elder Ballard's message to heart. We have been talking to
members about Preach My Gospel and we have had some awesome discussions
about where they feel is their place in the missionary work. We pray
for the people that they have been trying to share the gospel with. We
are hoping to have a long list of people. But members have been telling
us about these different people and it has been awesome!
The Lord and his angels have been hard at work. We
got to meet with Heidi this week which like made my life!! She has been
coming back and forth from Seattle, but life has been settling down. I
don't know if i ever told you about her, but she is a miracle. She had
her baby 2 months ago and he was premature, but she told us she was
really glad she started going to church before it happened so that it
wouldn't be hard to come back! She has been soaking up everything and
has been reading a lot on her own to try and learn when we can't always
meet with her. She has a fire ball attitude and has been really fun. We
are set to meet with her again this week and i am sooo excited!!
Besides that we had a missionary farewell and
homecoming in our ward yesterday and it was fun. Many of our
investigators came to church and i couldn't be happier about it! They
all loved the parts they came to and the Spirit was there. All f the
people we are teaching are really coming to love the Gospel and i love
to hear that!
Today we went on a tour of an apple packing factory
and it was like being in the TV show "How it is made" it was really
cool. There were sooo many apples. The positives to being in Farm
country is i learn a lot about where our produce comes from down in AZ.
Like all of our McDonalds get their fries from a Lamb-Weston in American
Falls Idaho. cool huh?
Preach my Gospel moment: we were studying in a group
of other missionaries this week and our mission is really focusing on
helping other people. And so one of the Sisters talked about how many
times the word help is in Preach my Gospel and she made an interesting
point. Half of th times it uses it it talks about us helping other
people, the other half it talks about God helping us. So our purpose is
to help others, but we know that we need God's help! So let God into
your life so that he can help you! Especially pray for those
opportunities to share it with those that are close to you.
Thank you for the inspiring messages of people
sharing the gospel. You set the example and help us missionaries more
than you could imagine! Keep u the good work. remember Elder Hollands
advice from conference! "Take heart, Pure Christ-like love flowing from true righteousness can change the world.":) Let's go change the world!
Sorry it is kinda short. I love you all and am grateful for all that you do.
