Well! Its been quite a week! Sister Tenney and I gave probably our last training together as STL's at zone conference! Kind of sad! but no worries! She and i will hang out after we are missionaries!
Something super cool happened this week! We do service at a community center in downtown milwaukee and we went in and were in the waiting room and we start talking to a guy and we whip out a book of mormon and start explaining it! and then i see in the corner of my eye,a woman sit down and kinda start listening.....
.... .and so I thought to myself "okay.....how do we get her to come listen to us so we can start teaching her! but like always...my mouth has a mind of its own and started talking! and i point to her and say! "HEY do YOU want a book of mormon too???" after she recovered from the SHOCK i had put her into...she said "yes!" and so i went over and gave it to her and explained it and then sat back down! (we have an apointment with her on saturday this week :)) So then we are all teaching now 2 people! and as we were teaching about prophets i realized "wow/...its kinda quiet in here now....." and then looked around and realized...."oh...wow...everyone in the room is listening to us!" hahhaha my word! you get put with one more companion and you teach the multitudes quite literally! hahahahahaha so funny!!!!!! we walked out of there and just felt so grateful to have that experience!
Something cool I realized when i was on exchanges with sister hall this week, was that even if people are so rude and so cold and want nothing to do with you, you still love them! Sister Hall and I got to have an experience with that this week! It was great to realize "wow! they were mean..but ALAS! my message is indeed true! and that's neat!"
OKAY! MARIA WAS BAPTIZED!!!!!!!! She truly is a gem! her family came and the ward was sssooooooooo supportive and many other investigators came! as i always say: "WHAT A BLESSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" we were able to teach the restoration while she was changing and that really added to the spirit that was already there! :) She texted us afterward and told us how amazing she feels!
LAST THING!!!!!!!!!! My companions and i were watching the Restoration DVD preparing for the baptism.........and we were all completely silent while watching it.....and we stopped it after the first vision and we were all just quiet! (which is weird for us) and sister tenney said "does anyone else feel that!?!?!?!?!?!" and we just all talked about what we had just felt! That just because we teach this ALL THE TIME! Several times a day! Doesn't mean the spirit cant tell us its true! FOR IT IS TRUE!!!!!!! God and Christ came to Joseph Smith! ushering in the dispensation of the fulness of times! God has given us the priesthood! WHAT A BLESSING! I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God! And the God that He saw is my Father in Heaven! And the other was my Redeemer!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Because I have been given much i too must give!"
