So you
know how we have been struggling to get progressing investigators and
stuff? Well everyone must be because we had a mission-wide fast this
week for all the missionaries and all our investigators! It was awesome!
I am so excited to see the miracles that come from it!
We almost ran over a opossum the other day. That was interesting........(Arielle what the heck is the grammar for that? Is it "an opossum" or "a opossum"?)
Remember Sister Morris? We went and visited her this week and she came to church on Sunday!
Wahoo!! She is working towards getting her temple recommend again and
reading her scriptures and praying! Awesome! She gave us a gift card to a
restaurant with a note that said, "Thanks for saving my soul." Aw!!!
She is the sweetest! I seriously love her to death! But yeah, it's cool
to see someone reactivate! :) We'll still keep visiting her to make sure
she stays active but yeah - she's doing great! :)
Renee
is awesome! We've only seen her once since our initial contact but this
last lesson was super awesome! We basically just answered her questions
and talked about the Book of Mormon. Also, we showed her the Gospel
Library app and she got SO excited about it! And when I showed her that
it would play for her she was even more excited! Then as we left
(PS we were on the porch) we could hear her listening to it. Then she
was texting us a whole bunch of questions about it later! We told her we
would answer them when we saw her next! Pretty cool though! :) PS
technology is awesome! :)
I saw a frog pounce
on a bug and eat it. That was pretty sweet. Also I saw a spider the size
of Africa that was had the coolest spider web. Also it was really
colorful. Like yellow and black and red and some other colors. It was
crazy! I wanted to look at it longer and or take a picture because I am
really weird, but it was while we were tracting in front of an atheist
household so that might have been a little bit weird. Sorry that was
totally random. I remembered the frog because it happened while we were
on Renee's porch (haha where the frog jumped on Sister O...frogs must
like that porch) and then I just randomly thought of the spider.....not
sure why I just explained why I wrote about that....I am so bizarre in
case you didn't know.
Terry!!! He didn't come
to church last week...I think I already told you about that. But yeah
that was sad...so we went to go see him on Friday
and his son, TJ answered and we had a discussion with him and invited
him to church (Terry was already asleep) and he was super genuine and
said he would seriously pray about it and come if he got an answer. He
didn't come. That was depressing. We haven't had a single investigator
at church the past 2 weeks. Not even Jay....we aren't sure what's going
on with him. We haven't seen him in quite a while.
But
hey guess what? We set a baptismal date! It was with this investigator
named Skip! I don't think I have ever talked about him. He has been
taking the lessons for several months now and he is practically already a
member! We teach him lessons and it's seriously like teaching a
member...there's like not much for him to learn! He hasn't been baptized
yet because he lives in an awful environment that makes it really
difficult to live the Word of Wisdom. Also he is Roman Catholic and that
has been a major part of his life. He has had several baptism dates to
work towards. We are praying that this will be the one! But he still has
quite a ways to go. He was telling us how if he gets baptized he could
go to the Roman Catholic church and the Mormon church....oh my.........
And
before I go, here's a quote that I was reading this week that I just
love! It's by Jeffrey R. Holland so brace yourself! :) "In the gospel of
Jesus Christ you have help form both sides of the veil, and you must
never forget that. When disappointment and discouragement strike - and
they will - you remember and never forget that if our eyes could be
opened we would see horses and chariots of fire as far as the eye can
see riding at reckless speed to come to our protection. They will always
be there, these armies of heaven, in defense of Abraham's seed." Gah! I
love that! We will always have help! Sometimes it's hard to see these armies coming
to our aid when the adversary is so prevalent. But if we can remember
the divine help that we get every day it will give us great strength!
God is going to win! As Elder Holland also said, “The future of this
world has long been declared; the final outcome between good and evil is
already known. There is absolutely no question as to who wins because
the victory has already been posted on the scoreboard. The only really
strange thing in all of this is that we are still down here on the
field trying to decide which team’s jersey we want to wear!”
Well,
that's pretty much all I have for this week! :) I hope y'all are having
a week as interesting as mine! Hopefully you haven't been attacked by
giant dogs though. :)
Love you!!!
Love,
Sister Myers
P.S.
Here are some pictures from this week! They are just kind of random.
These pictures pretty much define the south - beautiful country and
everyone loves Jesus.
