Haha I'll explain the subject title in a little bit.
This
week was so good! We met our goals for our lessons! We had 10 Less
active lessons, 5 member presents, and 8 lessons with investigators. We
have no idea how that happened. Especially with the member
presents...That was a miracle. This week was seriously so good!
We
were able to have an FHE with an inactive family and we watched meet
the Mormons and at the end we asked if they liked it and the mom told us
she liked the last story about the missionary mom. She said that they
know that they need God back in their life. We felt inspired to ask them
what is holding them back and they said nothing. We are planning
another FHE for them and we are going to teach them how to have an FHE.
They keep saying they want to come back to church, we just need to get
them there.
We
had zone conference this week and it was really amazing. We talked a
lot about the priesthood and we learned some really cool things about
it. We also talked about Women and the Priesthood and why things are the
way they are. The conference was super good. So was the hour and a half
ride down to it...oh we were a little late because vacuuming our car
took longer than we thought and so we got to sit in the front row right
in front of president and his wife...haha we tried to sit in the back
but we had the AP come up to us and asked us to come to the front. It
was really funny. When we got home from Zone Conference we had a member
text us and did something that no member has ever done my entire
mission. He said "Hermanas i have time to go without with you today." We
told him we didn't have anything set but asked him if he had any
friends that we could go visit. He told us he couldn't think of anyone
and that we would come and knock doors with us. TI was so awesome! We
were literally in shock. We had 3 lessons with him in like an hour. We
are going to work harder to get members to come with us even if it's
just knocking doors.
We
finally got back in with Daisy. We just had a small lesson with her. We
didn't mention church, baptism, or reading. We just shared a video with
her. But at the end she told us that she was going to be out of town
all weekend but she asked us what she should read in the book of Mormon.
I have hope for her. We have a lesson with her tonight and hopefully we
will be able to have an FHE with her this week with a member.
We
went to visit an inactive and first we just wanted to see if she would
come with us one day to visit her. But in the end we both felt strongly
that we had to get inside, so luckily both of us had to use the bathroom
and then we asked if we could share a video with her. We shared the
video Courage about the story of Ester. After it ended she started
crying and told us that it was a message from God. She said she had
really needed that video. She opened up to us a little bit. It was so
wonderful to have followed the spirit to be able to be there for her. We
are hoping that this will help her grow in her testimony.
We
helped hermana Saquic a little more in her class room. It was super
fun! We had Missionary correlation and we set up a day to have a sports
night. Every Saturday
we are going to do sports at a park. We are inviting our ward, and the English ward as well. We made invitations and it's going to be so great!
We also have started a book of Mormon class. The elders taught it last
week and we are doing it this week! I'm so excited!
one
thing we are going to start doing with all the members, active or not,
is we are going to make sure that they all have a book of Mormon with
their name in it and we are going to tell them to keep it under their
pillow so at night and in the morning it's right there. We've been
focusing a lot on getting the attendance up at church but we need to
focus on the little things first and then everything will fall into
place. It's going to be a process but it's going to be so awesome!
We
went tracting last night and we went to a random neighborhood and we
had English people who would open their door, take one look at us and
say "no!" and then shut the door. We were surprised because that hasn't
happened in a really long time. Well we did our part and hopefully they
will have another chance to hear the gospel. After a little bit we went
to another neighborhood and we had our last 2 other lessons. It was
super cool.
So
the morgans keep us updated on things that are happening. What the
world is coming to is so sad. I can't believe what someone who is
running for president what he is trying to do, what target is doing.
It's just so sad. But everything that's happening with the family, how
comforting it is to have the family proclamation. God knew that this day
would come and so he revealed to his prophets something that would
help keep the families together at this time where the world is getting
more messed up and crazy every single day.
So
now for the title the reason why i put Mormons! Is because after we
went to the store we were walking to our door and a women was walking to
her car and she stopped and introduced herself to us because she just
moved in and so we said the usual "hi I'm sister Medeiros, hi I'm sister
Mcnabb" She looked at us and said "oh Catholics!" and we said "no we
are missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"
she looked at us for a second and said "oh Mormons ok!" It was really
funny.
School
has just started up again up here and there are two colleges in this
area...with a billion and one new students. So what does that
mean....more traffic! we got stuck in traffic on the main road for so
long. There are so many new cars and people here.
i
can't believe that i have been on my mission for 13 months! It's
seriously so crazy!I love it so much! I love being a missionary more
than anything in the world!
this is such a good and
funny mormon message. We all have so much potential in this life. Are
we doing the things that we should be doing to live up to our potential
or are we on a cruise staying in our room the whole time?
In the guide to the scriptures we find that "All
persons are spirit children of God. He cares about each of his children
and considers each one important. Because they are his children, they
have the potential to become like him. Therefore, they are of great
worth."
Remember your potential, you are of great worth to your Father in Heaven!!!
