Happy Birthday to Grandma Groneman last Friday! I hope it was great! Love you!
This last week was filled with a couple of exchanges and some miracles!
Sister
Training Leaders and exchanges have changed. There are now five Sister
Training Leaders throughout the mission with a junior companion. When
exchanges happen missionaries just swap places instead of going to one
area [like a chapel, and then heading out from there with a new
companion]. I love it this way! On Tuesday I was with Sister M** and
on Wednesday, Sister W**. Both days were way fun! Sister W** and
I were able to meet a man who is from the valley and was interested in
missionaries coming to see him there! It was fun to send a referral to
another mission. We really are all working together to help Heavenly
Father's children!
We may be starting to teach 2 new friends this upcoming week!
One
of them was a complete miracle of how we found him. Earlier this last
week Sister M** and I met a man who accepted a BOM, but needed one in
Spanish. We had tried to deliver it for a couple of days with no
success. One day we never got around to trying until right before we had
to go in for the night. We hadn't had much success that day and we were
both trying to stay positive and not become grumpy. We almost passed
two people on the way to this man's house but decided to talk to them.
The first person wasn't interested, but when we said hi to the second
person he knew who we were and started talking to us. It turns out that
he had moved here from LA 2 months ago and was actually meeting with
missionaries. He asked us about church and was interested in coming. He
also asked if we could start teaching him like the other missionaries
did. We set up a lesson for tomorrow and we are excited!
The
other friend we have been stopping by to see for a few weeks. He has
great questions and is willing to try to find answers. He also had met
missionaries in the past. He wasn't interested then, but he remembers
them and really liked them. We have a lesson set up for next Sunday and
all 3 of us are looking forward to it.
Reading
over this email, I guess the theme is working all together as
missionaries, those who are serving now and those who have served in the
past. You really never know what impact you have on someone and what
part of their story you are in. Without the help of other missionaries
we wouldn't have these two lessons set up. I am grateful for them and
their service as a missionary. We are all on the same team!!
We
all have opportunities to influence people for the better, in
everything we do. Someone is always watching whether you know it or not.
Someone's life may have completely been changed by something you've
done or will do. This is why we should be an "example of the believers"
at all times, in all things, and in all places. As you strive to
represent Jesus Christ in all that you do, you will be surprised to see
just how much influence you can have on others for the better.
Thank you for all the prayers and love! Have a great week this week!
xoxo, Sister G
