I was so tired this week from all those meetings...
and it’s not over, we have two more meetings this week, but I love it, I’m
learning and growing a lot from all of them. That’s really sad to hear about
Shelli... That’s too bad about your friend at work, don't worry another
opportunity to share the gospel will come up!
This week was good, my new companion Elder Pelham is way
fun. He is from Brighton, England. This week was super busy with meetings, but
the end of the week has been awesome, we have seen multiple miracles every day
since Friday. I’ll share one of them, so Elder Pelham and I taught our
Zone Meeting on Friday and the focus was that the Lord is preparing people to
hear the gospel and resources and ourselves to share the gospel. That’s
been on our mind a lot, the fact that the Lord has prepared a lot of things and
that he has a plan that will work out. So on Saturday, we had a great lesson
with one of our investigators Winston. After, we were supposed to go to a
member's house so Elder Pelham could introduce himself, but the member had to
cancel. So we went back to our apartment complex because we had to do some
logistical stuff for our zone on the computers in our apartment club house. So
we do that and we are about to leave when Elder Pelham says he has an
impression to watch a Mormon message, so we do. Then we head out to our car to
drive home. As we are getting in, we see this girl walking her dog by our car.
Elder Pelham and I start talking to her about the dogs and then she asks us a
random question. She says, " you are the Mormon missionaries right?"
and we say yes, then she says, "Well I have had this question about
Mormons for a while". Now we are getting kind of excited. Then she says, “do
Mormon girls shave their legs?" that was the biggest let down ever.... but
then we kinda joke about it and start talking about the restoration and
everything and she loves it! She starts asking some of the most inspired
questions ever about the plan of salvation and the Book of Mormon. Then she
says that she wants a copy and wants to read it! Then she opens up and starts
asking if we believe in ghosts and what happens when we die because her dad
recently died and she can still feel him around sometimes. So we teach about
the spirit world and she felt the spirit super strong. Unfortunately she is
technically a YSA so we had to pass her off the YSA elders. But my testimony
has grown so much about heavenly Fathers plan. The series of events that lead
up to us meeting her is now coincidence and it has helped me to realize that
there is no need to stress about the future. All you have to do is prepare
yourself, and make sure that you are doing what you need to be and the Lord
will prepare everything else to fall into place to make his plan of happiness
come about. It has been a really good week.
Love ya!
