It’s
been like three days, but here is a quit update for those who have stuck around
this long! It’s been a little warmer out this way. I swear it’s worse than
Logan! One second it’s bite your nose off cold and the other it’s “I’m sweating
in my cardigan and leggings.” I wish it would just make up its mind or
something!
We
had a great Thanksgiving! We had dinner with two members, one had Prime Rib for
the meat and the usual sides! It was very yummy! The Sister is a great cook,
and she’s from Canada! She’s just so sweet! We then had dinner with the
Stecher’s, who are amazing! It was so good food and some chocolate cream pie
that was to die for! All in all it was a great thanksgiving where we stuffed
ourselves and brought the rest home!
On
Friday we stopped by a former investigator who has been rather spotty for a
while. She was in the middle of some cleaning and was stressed out due to some
family problems that had been happening. We immediately asked if we could help!
She was so shocked, but let us right in! We spent some time with her helping
with laundry and with doing the dishes, and it allowed her to open up and to
begin a friendship. As we served we talked about her relationship with Christ
and the Spirit was so strong as we testified that the Savior was there for her
even though she was going through a hard time. It all ended with a kneeling
prayer offered by her, and it was great! The Spirit was so strong as she
prayed, and it brought tears to her eyes. As we left I just felt joy, and I
understood the Saviors love for this sweet woman more. When you serve those
around you and put your “arrows out” you will do so much good. Even more than
you will realize.
We also met a lady just the other
day! We were looking for a former investigator who lived at her address. We
knocked and he didnt live there anymore, but she was very sweet! We told her
about Light the World and that we were sharing the video and she let us right
in! We visited with her for about 30 minutes and taught her a short lesson, we
found out that she met with elders about 9 years ago and still has her “Mormon
Book” somewhere! She very happily set up a return appointment for this week! It
is going to be so great!
We got to see Maggie again this
week! She is so amazing! We taught an awesome lesson and she just was so in to
it! She is so sweet, I wish you all could meet her! She’s such an example to me
of someone who wants to follow the Savior so badly and is so in tune with the
Spirit! It makes me want to be more in tune! We followed up with her on how
she’s been feeling about baptism! A few lessons ago we talked about setting a
date, and as we followed up in this last lesson she said she is nervous but
excited and every time she prays about it she feels the spirit with her!
December 23rd is the day people! We are so excited for her and we have seen the
Light of Christ that is within her continue to brighten!
I
know the church is true. I know God loves you. I know that the Book of Mormon
is the word of God was was translated by a prophet call of God. Brothers and
Sisters, is there a better way to light the world than by sharing the gospel?
No! Share the gospel by your actions, your words and your countenance. It
doesn’t have to be big to change a life. #Lighttheworld
Choose
to be glad this week! It will show!
D&C
128:22 “Brethren, [and sisters] shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go
forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let
your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad.”
Much
love,
