How is your heart?

Wow wow wow this week has jam packed with lots of goodness...and craziness! And miracles! And this! And that! And lots of things!!

Well "let's get this show on the road! Cricket get the bag!"

Soooo hm where to begin. Well let's start with the awesome miracle of the week! We were tracting this one apartment complex on Tuesday and we tracted into this guy who said he was an inactive member from Utah (but he's been in Tennessee for a long time). So we just kept talking to him and he invited us in. (Okay side note: it was a miracle in and of itself that we are in a trio so we were able to go in!!) So he asked a few random questions about what we do with inactive members and we told him our purpose is to help everyone come unto Christ. And then wow THE SPIRIT...he opened up at that point and told us he was actually excommunicated. But he said that as he has been attending other Christian churches he said this "Regular Christianity just doesn't compare to Mormonism. It's like basic math vs. Algebra. Mormonism has all the answers." Then he talked about how his culture is LDS and he still believes all of the doctrine. We ended up talking to him about the Atonement and the spirit was so strong! Then he said he wanted to go through the process to come back to church and be re-baptized!!!! WOW! THEN he told us about how he had sold his car last week and how he had pulled out a Book of Mormon he had in there and so it was on his mind this week! God is just sooooo good! In case y'all didn't know! :)

So we had Zone Conferences this week and oh man they were SO good! Elder and Sister Zwick (he's from the 70) came and wowie I was just blown away! And I got a picture with him so he could send it to Sheralee (my YW's leader who is his secretary) so that was fun! I just love them! Anyway, I don't have my notes with my so I'm trying to remember some of the things that I learned! One of the things we talked a lot about was simplifying and intensifying! Elder Zwick taught us this new way to teach a lesson so that we can "teach a simple lesson, invite the spirit and then get out".  It is pretty cool and we have been using it so I'm excited to see how it will help the work move forward!

Also a common question that everyone who trained asked "How is your Heart?" They talked about how our hearts must be in the right place and we must become true disciples of Christ and purify ourselves so we don't have any dry rot in our spirits that will hinder the Spirit from helping us in the work of Salvation! It was super good!

Also our musical number went really well! I wish it wasn't too big to send because it was so great! The sisters sang so well and they were right on key the whole time! :) And most importantly the spirit was so strong!

Oh man I wish I could remember more of what we learned off the top of my head but my brain is just going a million miles an hour right now with emailing, and p-day and the busy week and ahead and so on!

Okay so do you want to hear a funny story of the week/ embarrassing moment?

Well, once upon a time we were tracting yesterday evening and we tracted into this man and when we talked to him he told us that he didn't know English. So, I recognized him to be a Hispanic and so I proceeded to introduce ourselves in Spanish. Nope, not Hispanic! Oh it was so awkward! He was from Nepal but my goodness he looked Spanish! So we tried to talk to him but the language barrier was such a struggle. And then he invited us in as we were trying to tell him bye so we walked in for a minute. And he was telling us to sit and so we tried to tell him that "we are about to leave" and he's all "Bathroom?" "No, we have to go drive home." "Oh my son he is out right now but when he come home he give you ride." Agh the language barrier struggle!! Hahaha but we finally were just like, "Well bye!" As we like walked towards the door and then he got it...hahaha such a struggle!

I felt better about thinking he was Hispanic when our district leader who is a Spanish missionary told us he's done that soooo many times haha

Well, now for a quick update on the peeps!

Carlos is doing just great! He's been taught everything at this point and we are still trying to set a specific date! Oh and get this we were teaching him the Plan of Salvation again this week and at the end we were bearing our testimonies and stuff after we did he was like, "And I too know that the Plan of Salvation is real." haha YES! It was so awesome! This week we are having a lesson with him at President Johnson's house again and we are going to kneel down with him and pray about the date and then wait till he gets an answer! Pray all goes well!

We didn't get to meet with Charlotte this week on account of Zone Conferences but I'm sure we'll see her this week!

Nathan dropped off the face of the earth and we haven't heard anything from him which is really weird for him...even when he's been disinterested he usually texts us back...hm....hopefully we will hear from him soon!

Well, I'm thinking that's it for this letter!

My ponderizing scripture for the week is DC 64:33-34. Oh man I just love this scripture! I may be doing small things but I am laying the foundation of a GREAT work - as long as I give my heart and a willing mind and I am obedient! Simple, yet so essential! I love the gospel and I love my Savior Jesus Christ. There is nothing better than being an instrument in the hands of God in bringing souls to Christ. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. I love it with all my heart and soul. I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and that he restored Christ's church back to the earth. I know that my Redeemer lives! And I know that He loves each and every one of us with a perfect and unconditional love that will never end!

 

 

Y'all have a blessed week!

Love y'all!

Love,

Sister Myers
