This past week was probably the best week Sister G** and I have had all transfer for multiple reasons, which was awesome!
We taught both S** and K** which was a blessing!!
S** is doing so well and is really seeking for her answer. She reads and prays and shares with us the difference it makes in her day! She also set aside her fear and anxieties and came to Mutual which was so amazing! We are so proud of her! All the girls love her and she was happy she went.
Our lesson with K** was good as well. She has many questions and concerns that are based off of many years of different information, some true and some false. We are also impressed by her desire and willingness to come to the missionaries, rather than others, to help her understand. Sister G** and I can both see her being baptized in the future, however long it takes. K** said herself this might be what God wants for her.
OK, cutest story!! So a week and half ago we went to one of our families in the ward for dinner. They have such cute kids and the oldest is 7. She has the personality of a 16 yr old! So cute!! As we went to give our dinner message, she requested a cool visual (there are multiple) to use as our lesson. We asked her if she knew certain visuals and she promptly responded that she had seen all of them and wanted a visual she hadn't seen before. Instead of Sister G** and I trying to create one in the moment, we invited her to create one (with the help of her parents) and then show us the next time we stopped by. That satisfied her. We went back a week later and she told us she was so excited to open the door because she knew it was us and she had been practicing. It turns out that she had been thinking all week. That morning we stopped by she explained that she "was in tears" because she was unable to do the visual she and her dad had come up with. So she and her mom created a new visual. As a result, Sister G** and I were blessed as we were taught two visual lessons! (All of this happening on the porch as well because her mom wasn't home haha
). It was probably one of my favorite moments!!!Ok, onto the news everyone's been waiting for.......
Sister G** is staying in D.V.
I am....being transferred! Yep, you read it correctly, this will be my first "one and done" area.
I will be going up to S**....YSA ward! This will be a crazy new adventure that I am excited for! The Lord always has a plan for His children!
My companion is Sister W** and she is so sweet. If I remember correctly she came out with Sister M**, so she has been out 6 months. I am excited to learn from her and to live the YSA missionary life! Wish me luck!
There are two thoughts I had that the Spirit bore powerful witness of to me this week. These are things I know, but the Spirit reconfirmed the truthfulness of them.
1. Repentance is real. It is positive. And it is possible because of the Savior. Simple, but often we ourselves make it complicated. Repentance should never be looked at from a negative perspective. It is truly a gift! Can you imagine never changing to become better!? I don't want to because changing to become better means we are becoming more like our Savior and becoming more of the person Heavenly Father knows we are. We are just figuring out who He knows we are.
2. Heavenly Father totally and completely loves each one of us. He loves YOU. He also loves the person next to you, the person driving on the road in front of you, the person who is struggling, the person you don't get along with. He loves ALL of us. And He wants all of us to be happy. He wants you to be happy. And if you're not happy, He knows what you need to do so you can be happy. Truly happy. Trust Him!
I hope you all have a great week this week and that you can feel your Savior's love this week.
Xoxo,
Sister G
