Week #25 - The One Where We Continue To Have Miracles!

Monday, July 13, 2020

Hellooooo!! 

Sister Merritt and I OUTSIDE! 

Sometimes you match with your companion!

 

This week has been AWESOME!!! I just love my new companion Sister Merritt. We get along super well. We also flow super well while we are teaching and it is awesome. This week we taught a lot of people. HERE WE GOOO! 

So we have been teaching this one girl named Shay (who turned out to be a member but remembered nothing of the church, having been baptized and then was unable to attend since then) and her friend Brittney!! We taught them a couple times this week and they are AWESOME!! So Shay knows a little more than Brittney and we were talking about the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and I have such a strong testimony of the Atonement and all that Christ has done for us. So we tried asking Shay if she wanted to share what the Atonement is to her, and she said she didn't want to. So I was able to share my testimony of the Atonement and it ended up they didn't hear a single thing I said because the service/wifi connection was so bad LOL!! Then all of a sudden Shay starts to explain what it is and it was the most beautiful testimony ever. The spirit was so strong in that room while she was testifying to her friend of the Atonement. Definitely a great part of the week. Shay and Brittney even came to church with us yesterday and that was AWESOME!! Wowza they are awesome!

This week we also focused on talking to our members!! So we had this awesome lesson with Brother and Sister Bell in our ward. We were talking about how we can turn outwards instead of being inwards, and Brother Bell started telling us about his neighbor he should give a Book of Mormon to. The spirit was definitely telling him what to do which was awesome. We also had a lesson with our new Relied Society president and her husband, and she was telling us how she has been trying to get into contact with this one member who isn't on the path of righteousness to help them out. Right when she was telling us, she started to get a phone call.... FROM THAT PERSON and I mean that was pretty COOL!!! 

We have been trying to teach this one lady whose husband is a member, but she's never seemed too interested but.... WE FOUND THE WAY TO HER HEART and it is family history! We started telling her about this and she loved it! So we are talking with her more about that and she seems really excited!

We also struggled a little this week because a lot of the people we were teaching told us this week they weren't interested anymore. And that is always hard especially when you've formed relationships with these people. Crazy how you can form relationships over the phone and zoom. But we definitely was so many miracles because we kept our faith. One scripture I read during my personal study was Alma 32:21 and this chapter talks all about FAITH and it says, "... Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if we have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." I love this scripture. I love the whole Book of Mormon and know that it is true. I love being a missionary and am praying for all of you!!
