A lot of people
weren't home, but the days still went by really fast. I've realized that
that is just how its gonna be for the last 6 months of my mission. The
days are going to fly by. That means that I have to work even harder and
not waste time. Some good things did happen this week. We put our
investigator on date for baptism and her great grandpa is going to
baptize her. And she is so excited about everything. And I believe that
that is how she feels the spirit. When we taught her the plan of
salvation she was so excited about it. I love seeing her change and feel
the spirit. And she has such great fellowship.
This Bishop in one of our wards told us that we were going to
teach everyone. And that they were going to provide 8 lessons a week for
us. So they did over the course of a couple months they've been
teaching active members and the Bishop said that if we are teaching and
strengthening the members then they can strengthen other people. And
that is whats happening. That ward just had a baptism and they are going
to have more. And they're having people get reactivated and go on
missions. If we strengthen the core we can strengthen other people as
well.
Another miracle happened yesterday. So we pull out of our
drive way and our car says 50 miles till empty. And we drive a lot!
Especially on Sundays...so we stopped the car and prayed that we would
have enough gas to get where we needed to go and we totally did! When
we got home last night we had 8 miles till empty. It was a blessing of
obedience and faith.
On Thursday
we didn't do anything for Pioneer Day. We worked. But I did learn how
big this holiday is here. And I am grateful for my ancestors who came
over. And let their faith and the atonement of Jesus Christ carry them.
If this gospel wasn't important than they wouldn't have done it. And
that is why we all need to do our part and develop our testimonies,
because it's important. And the Lord needs us to strengthen our faith.
I love you all!
