FAM BAM!
Wow
What a week. Can you believe its already 2017???? I never thought
this year would come. 2016 literally flew by. I cant even remember
what happened!! All wonderful fantastic Alabamian things.
I
don't know why but this week was so funny!! Everything about it was
laughable. In the sense that sometimes I would say to myself "Wow
this is SUCH a mission experience/situation, I could either cry because its so
sad or laugh because its so funny" Not sure if that makes sense
hahaha For example New Years Eve was raining ALL DAY. Thundering and Lightening
and raining but who says rain has to put a damper on things??? We
made the best of it and sang as we tracted all day because all our appointments
cancelled. But we actually had a great day. One of our investigators,
R***, an old black lady, dropped us :( she handed us her Book of Mormon
we gave her and said
"I
don’t want to study no more wich yall!" When we asked why she told
us about when we invited her to read and pray about the Book of Mormon, she
said " But I don’t believe in Ask God I believe in MY God!!"
hahaha oh R***.....
Our
Spanish investigator, O**** is doing AWESOME! He is so solid.
Although he told us he would be at church and never showed :( He is still
reading the Book of Mormon daily and praying. He accepted baptism for the
21st of January! He always has the best questions and when we invited him to
attend the closest Spanish branch (1 1/2 hours away) he got SO excited and
really wanted to go, he said in his broken English "thees es a vury
sooprise to me!" So we might do some digging and get O**** involved
in the Spanish branch. WOOHOO.
For
New Years Eve. The senior couple, Elder and Sister Jones invited us for
dinner! Sine we had to be in early the other sisters came over to our apartment
and we put together a 500 piece puzzle. IT WAS SO FUN. I love
puzzles haha am I my Grandmother Warr's Granddaughter???
Also
our mission president encourages us to attend other churches on sundays
specifically evening services to fellowship with other religions so we did on
Sunday night. We went to an evening service with Revival Worship
Center. It was so cool! And weird. Its interesting to watch others
worship in different ways. They had, what seemed to be equivalent to a
testimony meeting and asked if one of the visitors would share their testimony
and the guy looked RIGHT at me for a while (we were the only visitors) I
smiled and stood up and shared my testimony. It was really cool!!! I just
said I was grateful to be there with fellow Christians to worship and bore my
testimony of our Savior. It was short and sweet. Pretty sure I was
beat red when I sat back down hahaha
I
have a strong and burning testimony of this gospel. I know and believe
that when we reach out to the Lord and endeavor to keep His commandments, we
are rewarded beyond our greatest expectations, not necessarily with worldly
goods but with peace, comfort, spiritual safety, and the reassuring knowledge
of God's love and concern.
I
find that peace and reassurance in the Book of Mormon. My personal new
years resolution is to be faithful in reading the Book of Mormon every
day. I WILL DO IT TOO.
Because
for every step we are willing to take toward our Savior, I KNOW He will gladly
meet us more than half-way and we will rejoice in His promise to us, " Be
faithful and diligent in keeping the commandments of God, and I will encircle
thee in the arms of my love" -D&C 6:20
I
LOVE YOU ALL! have a great week
