Oh heyyloo all you beautiful people I love so much!
This past week was great. Lots of memories and good times. We also didn't
have the car, but we have wonderful members that were willing to give us rides
:) So that was nice.
We met with our investigator, Jessica this week and taught her the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. And she was like, yeah, this is basically what I was raised up
on, it's all just worded differently! So that was really neat. It's awesome
teaching people things and seeing the lights turn on and they recognize what
we're teaching. It's a sweet experience. The spirit is real! She is seriously so
golden. She wrote notes on her reading assignment again....oh my gosh. That
still blows my mind!! I just love her so so much. We're working on getting her
to come to church, since that seems to be the only thing that's holding her back
right now. So we're trying to work out a church tour for her one of these days
so she feels more comfortable about coming to the church on Sundays. Coming to
church is sooo important in people's progression and so that's our focus with
her right now. But other than that, she's doing wonderful!!!
We also met with Cassandra and reviewed the Plan of Salvation with her
because we didn't have a lot of time the day we saw her. She answered all of our
questions perfectly...she has such a solid understanding of everything in the
plan..it's incredible. She LOVES it. When we first taught her the Plan of
Salvation we taught it using a diagram that I drew out. She loved it so much she
asked for a little copy that she could have. So I drew her a mini version and I
gave it to her and she was looking at it in awe the entire lesson. It warmed my
heart at how much she loves this plan that God has for her and for everyone.
She's the best. I love her. Being on a mission has made me realize how much I
love the youth and how much they hold a special place in my heart. It's made my
career choosing a lot easier and I'm excited for school after the mission now
that I know what path I want to go down. It'll be good! I love the Lord and His
plan!
The rest of the week was good. We met this inactive older lady named Betty.
She was an unknown on the roster so we called her asking if we could stop by and
she said that should wouldn't mind that. So we went and visited her and it was a
TON of fun! She's so great! I can't wait to continue to get to know her better.
I love visiting with older people. They have the best stories and experiences
and I learn so much from them. She fell away from the church a long long time
ago, but she always makes sure that she defends the church! We're going to see
what we can do to help her testimony grow stronger because it seems like she
fell away at a very young age due to misunderstandings and all that jazz. So
we'll see what we can do to help her out :) She's a fun lady!
On a less spiritual note. We got a call from this man named Sunny. He had a
heavy Asian accent and he was looking for the elders. So we texted him their
number and then he told us that he wasn't looking for those elders. So we asked
him what elders he was looking for and he told us he was looking for the ones in
Spring Lake. So we got ahold of the assistants and told them about the situation
and they were like "Oh we know Sunny..." and then they proceeded to tell us to
block his number and ignore his phone calls. Apparently Sunny has been causing
problems in this mission and in other missions...so President has just asked us
to ignore him. Haha and then throughout the next couple days, we got a bunch of
calls and texts from him that we obviously didn't answer. We added him to our
contacts as "!Sunny #thatsnotwhatyouwant" That way we know never to answer his
calls or texts. Hahaha. But we haven't heard from him in a few days. So we're
good. It was just funny hahah. We earned ourselves a little stalker this week!
Buttt we're good. And we've got really good elders that have said they will keep
him away from us if he ever finds himself in Jacksonville, so you don't have to
worry Pops hahaha. :)
That's about all I got for y'all this week! I hope you had a good one!
:)
The church is true! I love being a missionary! Look for the Lord's hand in
your life and write what you notice every day :) I promise that if you do so,
you'll develop a stronger relationship with God and you will be able to notice
His hand in your life more. #clichemissionarypromises #itstruethough
#goodthingimamissionary.
I love you all so so sooo much. Choose the right and God be with you till
we meet again! (BTW...fun facts - I hit my year mark this Thursday and that's
terrifying.....YIKES! Haha)
MUCH LOVE,
Sister Amy Blumel
