Well this week has been an adventure. I am
still sick, but I got a blession from Elder Harris at District meeting
last Tuesday. That blessing was just what I needed. It just
confirmed to me that Heavenly Father is aware of me and my situation. I
know that I will get better, I just have to trust in the Lord and in
his timing. All is well :)
So this week we had to push back
Ermilisa's Baptismal date. There are some things that need to be taken
care of before she can be baptized so we had to cancel for
August 29th.
Sister Owens and I were pretty bummed and didnt know how to break the
new to her. Ermilisa was totally fine with it. She has such strong
faith and trust in God's timing. That brought so much comfort to Sister
Owens and I.
Sister Owens got pulled over this week.
Hahahahahah it was great. She will never live that down. She didnt
get a ticket though, so that was good.
We
went on exchanges this week with the Milton Sisters. I stayed in
P-Cola with Sister Stewart and Sister Owens went to Milton with Sister
McClellan. This exchange was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I leared so much
about myself and how I can be a better missionary. Since I was in
Pensacola with Sister Stewart, I had to drive the car. So this week I
drove in Florida for the first time! That was an adventure for sure.
We were just contacting some potentials in a certain area before going
back to the apartment to have dinner and the exchange report. We
knocked on a potentials door and of course they werent home. We started
walking back to the car but i thought we should do just one more
house. We pulled out the Family History Survey and knocked on the door
of this BEAUTIFUL house. A man answered and we asked if we could ask
him a few questions about family history. He said sure and invited us
in to visit with him and his wife. we got to talking and asking him
questions from the Family History Survey. There is on question on the
survey that asks " Do you think God cares about you and your Family?" He
then told us that he has been struggling with his faith lately and
doesnt know if there is a god. he said that if there was a god, that he
would probably love him and his family. he then continued and
proceeded to tell sister steward and i that he has started to read the
book of mormon. I didnt even know that he was a potential on the list
that i had to see that day. I just felt like knocking on a beautiful
houses door haha. but the elders that were here last transfer talked to
him and gave him a book of mormon. So this man and his wife are now
reading to book of mormon together!! how crazy is that?!! Blessings
from above for sure!!
Also, Ermilisa attended church again
this week. We also had another ivnvestigator attend a baptism and that
was really cool. So hopefully we will be seeing more and more success.
We still have a lot of work to do and lots of Finding. But i know that
the Lord prepares people for recieving the Gospel. Its amazing. I
love being part of such a great work. It brings such joy to my life
knowing that i am helping someone come closer to thier savior. its
truly amazing!!
