Medford is Calling My Name. May 23, 2016

Chris and Connie Rowe, Sis Lunt

Well another transfer is upon us! I am down in Medford now, with

Sister Connelly!! We are going to be STL's (sister training leader)

together! We are like the moms of a zone. It's kind of stressful, but

I'm so excited to be part of the zone here and to lead others. It will

be so much fun to be with Sister Connelly. She is awesome!

The last week in Sutherlin was full of great things! We had a FHE with

the Finlaysons and Ron was able to come for dinner and for the FHE.

We watched the Testaments movie, and the spirit was amazing. Ron just

loved it. He will get baptized, but it will be when he is ready for

it. I pray for him a lot. I hope he feels the peace and healing that

comes from the atonement of Jesus Christ.

We also had a lesson with Jose. We planned it out to go over baptism

and the Holy Ghost and the priesthood. He opened up to us a lot and

our lesson went so smoothly. The spirit was definitely there. He told

us about when his brother died and he wondered where he was. I felt

prompted to read the scripture in Alma 40 that the "spirits of all

men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave

them life." He loved it so much, he had me read it again. So much pain

Jose

was lifted in that moment.

We also had a lesson with John. Ha, he's such a cranky old man but I

love him! We found out that he knows nothing about Jesus Christ. It

was interesting because we had no idea what we were going to teach

him, but we felt a good place to start is the Godhead. And he doesn't

know much. So it created just the perfect jumping start for Sis Lunt

to be able to teach him. He gave us hugs after the lesson, telling us

how he really does enjoy having us over, even if he gives us a hard

time.

I am going to miss Sutherlin so much. Such amazing people! But I'm

also excited to see what God has in store for me here! Love you all!
