Well this week we have been teaching the niece of an
active family, who was baptized when she was 8 but hasn't been active
since, and now she is 16. We saw her at church this week and she has
been reading the Book of Mormon every day and it's neat to see the
change in her.
We did service at a Less Active's house, she has a big
garden with lots of work to do. We helped her thin her monkey grass and
it was pretty intense work in the hot sun with lots of shoveling. But it
was great! And she made us a great lunch after and was very grateful.
Service softens hearts!!!!!!
We had Zone Meeting on Friday
which is always great, we had a training on revelation through prayer
and how important it is to help people have a desire to pray and receive
answers from Heavenly Father.
Sunday
was Skype day!!! So good to talk to everyone!The kids look so grown up!
I was so excited that Landon remembered me!!! We had dinner with the
Bishop after, Skype. His son is in Chile on his mission, and they were
all pretty excited to talk to him. We had a good talk with Bishop about
how we can work with the ward and how we can help them do missionary
work. How do you help people have a desire to share the gospel with
their friends and family?I think a lot of people here are just so
wealthy and well off, they probably go to a church and probably read the
scriptures and pray everyday.. what else to they need? What are they
missing? But it's not that they are missing anything but that they don't
have every blessing they could. It's hard to describe someone who has
the gospel in their life that they don't have the fullness...
We had so much chocolate yesterday. The Bishopric
brought chocolates for all of the women at church, and the Stake
President's wife brought donuts and more chocolate for all of the relief
society.. and we had an Oreo cream pie after dinner..sugared out.
Tonight we have dinner with the Stake President! I can't even describe
how nice his house is to you. It's amazing. The people here are very
wealthy. It's intimidating sometimes. All of my clothes are from the
DI....
We have a Mission Conference with President tomorrow...
he hasn't really told us what it's about but wants to train us on
something. So we will see. And Zone Activity today! Woot! Love being
able to have fun with other missionaries.
I know that the Book of Mormon is true! Keep reading
it! How can anyone who had read it deny that it is from Heavenly
Father, and NOT just made up from someone's head! If more people would
just read it they would be able to understand that.
