WELL! I just want to start this out by telling everyone that it was my beautiful mother's birthday on the 12th!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love my beautiful mother!!!!!!!!!! mothers are great!!!! I love you mom!
It was a FABULOUS week though here in Wisconsin!!!!!!!
THERE IS SO MUCH TO SAY AND MY FINGERS JUST CANT TYPE IT ALL!!!!!! hahaLOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But what I do want to tell everyone is!...we had an awesome awesome lesson on Friday with our investigator named Jessica! SHE IS SO COOL!!!!!!!! She is 28 and works for a guy in the ward! SHe is so curious about the LDS church and has a really good friend who is a member!!!!!! We invited her on Friday to be baptized on August 22nd and she accepted!!!!!!!!!!! We taught the plan of salvation and she just was SO COMFORTED with the knowledge of where we came from and why we're here and where we are going when we pass from this life to the next!!!!! she was excited when we extended the invite she was also nervous! But we assured her that we will be there every step of the way and that's why we are out doing what we do! to help people receive the restored gospel! :)
So some funny stories (got to have those right??)...haha so one morning sister green and I woke up to take our morning run! and we were getting ready and she said "SISTER WISE! hahaha YOU kept me up last night!!!" haha and she told me that she woke up at like 2 AM to me talking and saying "I am so grateful for my testimony and I know that the Book of Mormon is true!" haha....so we were joking around and saying that I am so immersed in the work that even my subconscious self realizes that I am a missionary! hahaha so funny!!!!! haha
AND! we were at Wal Mart getting some fabric because we sewed with a less -active woman in the ward! and I brought a smoothie I made into wal mart and this guy was cutting our fabric! and I went to drink my smoothie and it was SUPER THICK (but super good ;)) and I tapped the bottom of the cup and BOOM!!!!!!! hahahaha smoothie! ALL OVER MY FACE AND GLASSES AND HAIR AND EARS! hahahahahaha I looked like SANTA! haha..oh it was awful! but then it started a conversation with this guy even though I could hardly see what he looked like because of the smoothie covering on my optical lenses! SHEESH! haha but he helped me get stuff to clean my face! haha and then we talked with him about the restored gospel! COOL GUY! The Lord qualifies the called! He does not called the qualified! CLEARLY! haha i'm grateful for His patience with me!
I realized that my emails are way too long and I am sorry! HAHA and I have come to terms with the fact that I won't be able to email about every single miracle I saw during the week! JUST KNOW that there were many! I love you all! I have a testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus CHrist! The WHOLE field is white already to harvest! Not just Wisconsin! Missionaries EVERYWHERE are doing the Lord's work and it is hastening! :) I know that through Jesus CHrist we are cleansed from sin! Not just that but we are made strong! We BECOME new creatures in Christ! WE Cannot just do good! We must BECOME good! Through the atonement of Jesus Christ! I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and I sustain Thomas S Monson and his counselors and the quorum of the 12 apostles as prophets seers and revelators! It is so comforting to have men who commune with God for the benefit of mankind! I know these things are true! "Millions shall know brother Joseph again"
"Because I have been given much I too must give!"
