Wow what a week!!! Life as a missionary is the BEST!!!!!
Okay y'all want to hear the CRAZIEST STORY OF YOUR LIFE??!!!!
Okay I don't know if it will be the craziest of your life but seriously, prepare to be amazed! :)
Okay
I really hope this makes sense in the way I explain it. So the elders
had this investigator named Bailey that we contacted and she gave us her
number to contact her of a good time we could meet. So a few days ago
Sister Johnson texted her and asked her if we could meet and she said
yes and we set up the time for Saturday morning. Well, we wait the church on Saturday
morning and this girl walks in and says, "Hi, I'm Bailey! I'm here to
meet with the Sister missionaries!" Okay but get this: this is NOT the
Bailey that we talked to. I was legit SO confused. I was like, "How did
the Elders investigator Bailey give us the number to another Bailey who
was also interested?" What?! So we just rolled with it and had a lesson
with her and it was an AWESOME lesson! We did How to Begin Teaching and
taught the restoration a little bit and even invited her to be baptized
if she knew the message was true and she said yes! Wow she was so
prepared! So then at the end I asked her how we got her number and she
said she had referred herself on Mormon.org.
Then
it dawned on us. We had received a referral from HQ for a girl named
Bailey Higgins and we had called her and texted her and never got a
response so we assumed she wasn't interested or something so we just
dropped her. Well, a few days ago Sister Johnson, when she went to text
the Elders investigator Bailey, texted Bailey Higgins, thinking that the
Bailey in the phone was the Elders investigator Bailey. Yeah, really
confusing but if you understood that whole story then you should be
dying because that is INSANE! God is so good everybody! And to top it
all off, we contacted the Elders investigator Bailey, and it turns out
she couldn't meet anyway! :)
Okay here's
another cool story. So we planned to go street contacting by Belmont
(college) because there are tons of YSA walking around there all the
time. Well, when we got there there was a street preacher guy who was
yelling at everyone about how if they don't repent they will go to hell
or something like that. Like he was legit holding a sign and bible. I
know, sounds like a movie or something! So we decided not to street
contact around there because we didn't want anyone to think we were
associated with him. So we went to Centennial Park instead and we went
over to a guy on a bench and ended up talking to him for like 45 minutes
about the gospel and he was asking so many sincere questions that were
totally awesome! And then we tried to get his number to meet up with him
again because he had so many questions but then we weedled out of it
and said he would call us if he has questions (and he was really sincere
about it though). We have been praying he will call. He was so awesome!
We hope a Best Two Years story happens with that! :) That would so
legit!
OH MY GOODNESS CARLOS SET A BAPTISM DATE!!! December 5th!!!!!!
Wahoo!!! We had this super awesome lesson as President Johnson's house
and it was so cool because at first he was still like not going with
setting a date but we all like bore our testimonies about asking in
faith and how the gospel will bless his family and then we invited him
to be baptized on December 5th
and he said yes! He is acting in faith right now. He hasn't received an
answer for that day yet but I believe he will! If not, that's ay-okay
:) We love him anyway!
We also had a super
great lesson with Charlotte this week! We taught the plan of salvation
and it was just such a powerful lesson! We also talked about her Book of
Mormon reading and she says that she was received her answer that the
Book of Mormon is true and that the church is true! We invited her to
prepare herself to be baptized and she said yes! Although, we did not
set a date because we didn't feel like we should yet. We wanted to wait
until she made sure it would be all good with her parents. She went home
on Friday and she said she was going to try to tell them on Sunday
(yesterday) so we'll find out hopefully soon if she did. We have been
praying and fasting that that all works out so keep her in your prayers
because if that goes well, we are going to set that date faster than
butter falling off a hot biscuit!
We've
had quite a few other cool little miracles this week! It's been so
great! The members of this branch are so awesome! We are so
blessed! When we went to church yesterday we had 1 dinner this week, on
Thanksgiving. And after church we had a dinner every night (except today
because we crossed off Monday's haha). God is good! Well, the members are good! :)
I'm trying to think if there's anything else I want to say about this week!
Gratitude everyone. Gratitude! (obviously since it's thanksgiving)
Last
night I decided to start writing a gratitude list and previously I have
just done a list of 100 things I'm grateful for but I decided I want to
do as many things as I possibly can. My ultimate goal is 1000 things by
the end of the week. I'm at 657. It's been so cool because since Ive
done more than 100 things I've realy been thinking about EVERYTHING I'm
grateful for so now I keep seeing things I'm grateful for and it's been
so incredible! I just started the list last night! I have a lot to be
grateful for! And still more! The list of things that Heavenly Father
has given me is infinite! The list of things Heavenly Father has given
YOU and ALL of us is infinite! He loves us so much!
I hope y'all have a blessed week and a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Love y'all!!!!
Love,
Sister Myers
