IT”S FALL YA”LL!!
10-24-16
Its finally feels like
Fall!! We were in the high 80s earlier in the week and then we dropped
down to the low 60s!! I was freezing my patootie off but it felt so good!
Fall has FINALLY made it's way to Alabama! Which also means tornado
season is on it's way... Pray for us!
This
week has been wonderful I feel like it has been so long since I sat down to
email! First things first! Tuesday we had Transfers! My new
companion is Sister Danes, From Nampa Idaho. She is the youngest of 6
siblings and has 20 nieces and nephews. WHOA. She attended BYU Idaho for 2
semesters before she came out. She is shy and quiet in big groups but when its
just one on one, she so talkative and fun!!! She has always wanted to
serve a mission and yall...she was born to be a missionary. She is
AWESOME. So on top of things and really has so much to bring to this
companionship. Sister Danes was the only Spanish sister that came out
this transfer so I know I was meant to train her. She could have gone to
plenty of other wonderful companions and areas. There is a reason we are
together and I am so excited for what the future holds! What we can learn
together.
There
is so much that went on this week. It was FULL of so many miracles and wonderful
teaching experiences!!!! I honestly want to write them all and tell them
to you but this email would be as long as the bible so I will just share the
highlights and emmaus experiences.
Emmaus
Experiences:
********! Remember her from last week? She is doing so
good! We met her last week and have been teaching her close to every other
day. She is so solid! Her BoM is all marked up and is learning
every day. We talked about Faith and read Alma 32, her response
after we said that was "Wait what chapter? you mean the Chapter I already
read and marked up?" She had already read Alma 32, as she was
skipping around the Book of Mormon reading different parts! SO COOL. The
Lord is in every part of this work. We invited and she committed to come
to church Sunday but didn't show up :( But we aren't giving up! poco a
poco.
*** CAME TO CHURCH! We've been trying to get her to be at church for the last
2 weeks! A member, Sister Jones, gave her a ride along with 3 of her
nieces and nephews! I gave a talk in church about baptism and she was beaming
the whole time! She really enjoyed it! Before Sunday we had a
wonderful lesson with her about Baptism and we set a baptismal date forNovember
19th!! She has some Word of Wisdom problems that shes working through but The
spirit was so strong and she was all for it. She told us that she knew
without a doubt that we were sent by God to help her. Sister Danes and I bore
powerful testimonies about the truthfulness of the Gospel and told her that the
next step is Church! And she came! We were so happy! Yay
Kim! We both have so much love for that woman its insane.
Saturday,
we went with the senior missionary couple, Elder and Sister Jones to visit some
Less Actives in Linden, (a small town 30 minutes away) it was SO FUN.
We talked with Sister *****, a small old black lady about 92 years old.
She was SO sweet! She lived in Salt Lake City for 20 years with her
brother and was introduced to the gospel there and was baptized. She
lovessss SLC. She has lived pretty much all over the world, England, NYC,
Hawaii, California and SLC was her favorite because everyone there was so sweet
to her. Today, many of her health problems keep her from attending church
in Demop.****** has my heart! She gave us some advice as
"young folk" and said to "Look to the Lord, Jesus, in all
that you do, for every breath you take, for everything." -Sister *******. How cute is that??!!!
I am
SO happy. This week we just worked so hard and were so busy. I know
that I am doing all I can for the Lord and whatever I cannot do, He can make it
up. It really is up to us to BUILD that relationship we have with our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. In return, we can feel true happiness. Not the
joy or happiness that comes from the world, not temporary happiness but lasting
joy. This is my testimony and prayer that we might remember those times
that we have felt and recieved a witness from the Holy Spirit that He is the
center of our lives and that we must remember Him always. "Do a
little more to be a little better." THis is true happiness!.
I
LOVE being a missionary and more than anything I love helping others come to
this special knowledge that I have gained.
Have
a great week YALL!!!!!!!!!!!
Steadfast
in CHRIST. Molinesrockmissionariesrule
