Hey!!
This last week was good! Things have settled down in Moorpark which made it a chill week.
We
had a couple lessons with R**. He is doing well! He is somewhere in
Mosiah right now in the Book of Mormon which is great! He is slowly
changing each day. I can't wait for the day when he feels and can
understand the answers he has been getting about everything, because
right now he is so focused on reading the whole Book of Mormon. He can
see his faith growing though and he has told us that which is great!
There is power in the Book of Mormon. It was sad to say goodbye to him,
but I know he is in good hands.
D** is
changing as well! She has started to listen to the Book of Mormon on the
gospel library app in between appointments!! And she told us that
somehow she has always known that Christ visited the people in America.
It will be in her own time, but I am confident that D** will continue
to come closer to the Savior and eventually (and hopefully!) have the
desire to be baptized.
One cool thing this week
is that we were able to work with the YSA Sisters a few times this past
week. We had time to fill and needed to be productive so we went out
with them. Friday night, we were able to go boothing in the mall with
them! You just talk to people in the mall. Sis A and I felt like we
walked into the world which was overwhelming at first, but it ended up
to be pretty fun! YSA still scares me though haha!
It
was really hard to know that this was the last week here. And Sunday
yesterday in church, Bishop H** made us cry! Let's be honest though,
we've been crying a lot because we love everyone here so much. They are
truly my family and I will never forget them. But I knew that things
like this were going to happen when I signed up! It doesn't make it any
happier though.
So I guess the part you've all been waiting for- where I am going.
So
I think I first have to tell you that I won't know who my companion is
until tomorrow. I am training! And we are whitewashing in to Santa
Maria! Yep, back up north. It will be another adventure!! I have mixed
emotions about the whole thing as well. I am really nervous. And
hesitant because I will be the companion who knows more and I will need
to show the way which I feel like I've had the comfort of leaning on my
companions when I didn't know what to do. On the other side, I am calm
and at peace because I know the call came from the Lord. He trusts me
and has placed His confidence in me. And He will help me every step of
the way. "I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded." I
feel like so many in the Book of Mormon who are called and they have the
faith to do it, but they are still nervous. I know whoever my sweet
sister is will be an amazing missionary and I am excited to welcome her
into the Great California Ventura Mission.
Love
you all! Sorry I had so many pictures to send home, but I forgot my
camera....I know, I'm sorry. You'll get them next week:)
xoxo,
Sister G
