Hey y'all!
So this week was great! Lots of change, but hey
that's expected. I'm on a mission for crying out loud! So transfers were on
Tuesday and I have a new companion, her name is Sister Petersen! Make note of
the "en" ending....She's a different Petersen than my Baby Peterson. Ha. Let me
tell y'all something. When you pray....pray SPECIFICALLY. The Lord will always
answer your prayers....but it may not be the way you were expecting...but it
will be exactly what you asked for! Haha that's one thing I've learned on the
mission. I prayed that I would be companions with Sister Peterson again before I
go home and at first I would say her first name as well...but as time went on
I'm like, oh I'm sure Heavenly Father knows exactly who I'm talking about.
Welllll, folks. I may have forgotten for a BRIEF..VERY BRIEF...moment that
Heavenly Father has a sense of humor...Because my new companion IS indeed,
Sister Petersen! Just not the one I was expecting! haha but it's okay because
she's pretty fun too :) She's been out for 6 months and she's from West Point,
UT. It'll be a good couple of transfers!
Okay so the week was
great. We did a TON of administrative work because well life was so disorganized
for the past 6 weeks....I decided that a new transfer was a good excuse to crack
down and get that going. So we did that and wow...it feels good to have things
organized!! (Who woulda thought?)
Other than that...hmm, well
again transfers happened and I got to see ALL of my companions..well the ones
that are still here in the mission..haha but that was so awesome!!!! I saw
Sister Peterson, Sister Park, and Sister Scribner!! It seriously made my life!!!
:D I love them all so much. I'm so grateful I came on a mission, I've been able
to meet so many amazing people <3
We met with Angela this week
and she's doing amazing. When we got there, she expressed to us that she was
feeling super confused about things and why there has to be so many different
religions. We taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ (so Faith, Repentance,
Baptism, the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End) and afterwards she
told us that her mind was more clear and she felt more peace. And when we read 2
Nephi 31:19-20 with her and we asked her what her thoughts were, she was like,
wow, something exciting just happened inside of me! {DANG GIRL, YOU'RE FEELING
THE SPIRIT. SING PRAISES. HALLELUJAH!} It was great. We talked to her about
watching the Restoration video with her because it's a good visual as to the
confusion that Joseph Smith felt as well and she said that would be wonderful to
watch and she was way interested in that. Then she told us that it was the
Joseph Smith story that got her intrigued in the first place because she feels
the same way, so she can totally relate! So that was awesome. She's literally
amazing. Once she understands the Priesthood, I know she'll get baptized. I know
it. She's golden. I love her SO so SOOOO much. <3
AND wow.
Miracles this week. We saw Ken (our older military investigator!) on Friday
night and wow. The progression he's made since I've gotten here has been
incredible to witness. We went over the 10 Commandments and he loved it. (Those
hand signs are the best I'm telling ya....they're a hit...everyone loves them!)
And he told us that after our last visit, he was inspired to change his life for
the better and he applied for school! He's going back to school! That's so
exciting! AND AND ANDDDD! HE COMMITTED TO COMING TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY!!!!
YAYAYAYAY! that's literally so huge. I'm so excited for him! Ah it's the best. I
love this gospel. It LITERALLY changes lives for the better. And it's so neat to
be in the middle of it. :)
