Hey y'allll! :D
This past week was great!! I don't have too
much time today....as per usual. Wow...I think that's my excuse every week..I
promise it's legit though. Haha!
Anywho, here's my weekly
report:
Monday: It was just a regular preparation day. We tried to
have a district activity...but no one was really willing, but that's okay haha.
After that we tried to see a couple people, but no one was home! And it was
almost time to go in the for the night. So we got milkshakes from Cook Out. Haha
:)
Tuesday: We got to see our recent convert, Verlinda! She's doing
awesome. We taught her the Restoration (going over the new member lessons with
her now) and she loved it. She LOVES Joseph Smith so much. It's really sweet
actually, it warms my heart! Just recently I've grown a stronger love for Joseph
Smith. I really am grateful for him :) He quite literally changed the world. But
anyway, she's excited to learn more about him and so we're going to read Joseph
Smith History with her. I'm excited it'll be good!! After that we contacted a
bunch of referrals. Well I should say we TRIED contacting a bunch of referrals
because no one answered their door. That was basically it. We saw one of our
less actives that night though! It was good :)
Wednesday: District
meeting! Our district is seriously like the most awkward thing ever hahaha. I'm
hoping it gets better with time...but it makes things interesting! Ha it's
really not that bad...it's actually kinda funny. oh well though! It's all good
:) After that we did a lot of administrative stuff and a TON of organizing. Gosh
there's so much that needs to be cleaned up here haha. But it's a work in
progress. It's moving along slowly but surely :)
Thursday: We got
to weekly plan outside! It was awesome! The weather is SO great! The sun is
shining, the blossoms are all coming out, it's beautiful. I LOVE the south so
much. I want to live here forever. <3 That was basically all the exciting
parts about that day...ha.
Friday: We contacted a referral from
the elders and it went well! Her name is Deborah and she's like your
stereotypical black southern woman. Ha she loves Jesus and she loves talking
about Him! Actually.....she loves talking in general. We asked this woman one
question and she told us her ENTIRE life story for half an hour.....not even
exaggerating haha. It was good times. BUT! She has a lot of potential and we're
excited to work with her :)
Saturday: We saw Angela!!! Oh my
goodness, my heart is so full for her!!! I seriously love her so much. We had a
great lesson with her. We watched the Restoration video and she LOVED it. We
told her that she could keep it and she was thrilled! She's like, I'm gonna
watch this over and over again! And we were like, do it! Haha. She loves Joseph
Smith because she feels like she can relate to him. She told us that she is
going to really pray to know if this is path she needs to take. So we told her
that if she prayed specifically about the Book of Mormon she would receive the
answer that she's looking for because the Book of Mormon is literally the
evidence of our entire religion. If the Book of Mormon isn't true, then
everything is false. But if the Book of Mormon is true, that means Joseph Smith
was a true prophet called of God, he translated the Book of Mormon with the
power of God, and the Priesthood power is back on the earth and this is the
Lord's church once again on the earth. She committed to doing that. And then she
said that if/when she finds out that it's true, she'll get baptized!!!!! YAY! So
I'm super excited for her and the journey she's embarking on. I just love her so
much. Her faith is literally unwavering and it's way inspiring.
<3
Sunday: It was Stake Conference and Angela came! And she
LOVED it!!! :D It was awesome! There were so many amazing talks and messages
that I personally needed to hear. A seventy came! I have no idea how to spell
his name....but it's said Kapeeshka. Hahaha I'll figure out the spelling one
day....uhhhhh #fail. And he was amazing!!! Literally, he gets up there and he's
like "I had something planned out, but my brain just went blank. So pray that I
say something that you need to hear!" And then seriously the most amazing talk
comes out of him. Wow! The spirit was way strong. It was inspiring. And
incredible and wow, I hope I can get to that point one day :) It was all about
the Savior and how we as Latter-day Saints don't celebrate the crucified Christ,
but we celebrate the resurrected Christ and that's why you don't see crosses in
a mormon church. It was a great talk especially around Easter time :) I loved
it.
He lives, y'all! Christ Lives!!!! I know He does!
That was
basically my week in a nutshell! It was great! HEY. The church is true, y'all! I
know it with my whole heart!!!! <3 Keep reading, keep praying, and keep going
to church. You'll be blessed for all your efforts, I know it and I can promise
you that :)
