This week is another testament that God is real and that he answers prayers.
So, transfers happened. I'm staying in Wetaskiwin. However, I am with
my HOME GURL, Sister Victoriano!!!!!!! Holla.
We have been praying everyday for two transfers that we will get to be
companions before we go home, and we are. After transfer calls, I was
like "YES YES YESSSSSS." I was so happy to be able to be with her.
Sister Victoriano is from Southern California and she was a Spanish
missionaries for a year of her mission, so that's great.
Yesterday we knocked on 130+ doors and about 10 people answered their
doors. We literally found all day yesterday, so that was fun.
In relief society, we had a lesson on the Book of Mormon. We were
asked to share an experience where the Book of Mormon has answered our
prayers, and so I did. I shared Enos 1:27 which is my favourite
scripture because it assures me that our Heavenly Father does have a
plan for us. After the lesson, Katrina (a member) asks for two copies
of the Book of Mormon. She gives own to a nonmember who was at church
that day, and then said the spirit told her she just needed to get
another one. Well, a few hours later Katrina calls us. She proceeds
to tell us about her grandma who is completely against the church and
says that she talks negatively about the church all the time.
Katrina says, "Grandma have you ever read the Book of Mormon?"
And she says, "well, no."
Katrina: Well, would you like to?
GMA: sure, I'm sure it will tell me all about how to worship Joseph Smith
Katrina: 🙄 grandma, I got one from the sisters today and I know it
was specifically for you.
GMA: well, I'll read it.
So Katrina goes and grabs the Book of Mormon and gives it to her grandma.
That's all we know that has happened thus far, but we hope that she
will do was Moroni counsels. That would be awesome.
Well family, I love you all. I know that Christ lives and that he
loves us. I also know that most of you only look at my pics, but
that's alright because same.
This week I have been able to feel the spirit so strongly as I testify
that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, that Jesus Christ lives, and
that there is a God in Heaven who loves us. I know without a shadow of
doubt in my heart that the Book of Mormon is true and that it can
answer our prayers if we pray with a sincere heart and have real
intent.
I have a quote on my wall that says, "there are lives to brighten.
There are hearts to touch. There are souls to save." As a missionary,
it's been great to be able to see people's lives change because of the
gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that there is no other way that we can
have lasting happiness. Other things may bring temporal happiness, but
Christ is the only way that we have everlasting joy. Come unto
Christmas and be COMPLETE in him. 😊
See y'all in a few months. Love you.
