This week was so good! I can’t even express how happy we have been from all the great things we have been seeing. I have learned that when you are obedient to God you are able to call down the blessings from heaven that you need. And if it is right, according to His will, He will bless you with them! Elder Wilkinson and I have been seeing this!
We have really made a focus on teaching people how to keep the Sabbath Day holy. This is something I have truly gained a testimony of. Everyone we teach we always promise them the blessings of keeping this special day holy and giving it back to the Lord. We have been bolder in committing people to come to church and living this commandment. Because it is so important!
After much prayer for those that we have been meeting with and those we love, we did everything we could to get our friends to church. And they came! We had six nonmembers at sacrament meeting yesterday! And five of them have goals of being baptized in the near future. We were ecstatic. The more impressive part is that they all stayed for the whole three hour block and enjoyed all of church! What a blessing!
I love finding this kind of joy in the work! These are the best times of the mission. When you work hard and work effectively, you see amazing results. Sometimes I hear missionaries say that we may only plant seeds, indeed we do plant seeds as missionaries but the Lord has promised us that it is time to harvest souls to bring them unto Him. When you serve with all your Heart, Might, Mind, and Strength, you can feel that “This is the time to Harvest.”
The ward here is pretty awesome. They take really good care of the missionaries. I have loved serving here so far. We have a great ward mission leader and their family. They fasted for us that we could find a family to teach and that the work would improve. I thought that was really cool. I have never had a family fast for me as a missionary. It made us feel really special. I also think this is why we have been seeing so many miracles. When members get involved in the work amazing things happen!
I love this work! I'm so happy I am here. It is changing my life!!! I love the people I get to work with so much; I'm so grateful for them. I hope everyone is keeping the faith. I gave a talk in sacrament yesterday. I talked on Lehi’s vision, One question I asked the ward is, "Have you tasted the fruit? and If you have, who do YOU desire to share it with?"
