| Sunrise on our P Day hike |
So yesterday we spoke in church and we left our apartment and got
there about 15 mins before it started. As we got out of the car, I
realized that I forgot something. Something REALLY important. My name
tag. So we raced back and grabbed my name tag. We got back just in
time for the meeting to start. Our talks were pretty awesome and then
we also got enlisted to teach gospel principles on the Second
Coming....oh my goodness. And that was just a start to a crazy day.
Today, we went on a hike, early in the morning! It was awesome! But I
fell and totally destroyed my hand and my arm. But all is well, that
why we have the resurrection right?
We were finding a lot this week, but we did have some great lessons.
On Wednesday we had specialized training. We were taught about the
Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith and of the Atonement of the Savior (foundation of
testimony). It was awesome, the spirit reminded me of the time then we
went to Carthage Jail with my family. The spirit witnessed to me then that
Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. Sometimes the spirit reminds you of
the times that you received a witness of the truth.
Later that night, we had a lesson with the Ponciroli's. They are the
coolest family ever! 😆 Chris, the husband, is not a member. He has
been working to be able to get baptized for almost two years. We had
our lesson on temple grounds. President and Sister Russell came with
us as well. We read 1 Nephi 8 with them, and talked about how
important it is to read the scriptures and to hold to the rod and to
continue press forward on the path. The spirit was amazing!
On Saturday we had lesson with Donald Millard. We taught him the Plan of Salvation,
and he loved it! He understood all that we taught. He was saying how
everything what we were teaching made sense and that he felt that he
had already known it. It was a stellar lesson! We invited him to be
baptized, (three times even) and he would love to, but he is worried
about his wife. So we will work with her and help her understand the
gospel as well. I'm so excited to teach them!
On Saturday, a lesson fell through and we started walking down the
street. A car pulled over and inside was a woman named Shayla! We met
her earlier in the week and she let us into her home and talked with
us. She is really cool. After talking to her from her car, she invited
us over again. We helped clean her home, and she showed us all this
Christian music that she loves to listen to. And she also played some
songs for us on her guitar. At the end of us helping her, we showed
her "Because of Him" video. While she talked to Sister Peterson, I pulled up
Alma 7:11-13 and read it to her. All the sudden her curiosity took
over and she asked all these questions about the Book of Mormon. We
gave her a copy and we have a lesson with her later this week!
This coming week we have lots of lessons set up, at least four
everyday. We also have MLC this week and we are teaching ZTM. And we
are going to pick pears this week as well. We are so busy! But what
better way than to serve the Lord? I am so blessed to be here, to be
part of this zone. I really love them a lot, I hope we can teach them
well.
