As for our investigator Sarah she is still moving forward! She attended a baptism with us on Saturday
and we had a short lesson with her on the Restoration. It was pretty
sweet! She liked learning about Joseph Smith and she really felt the
Spirit at the baptism. At church on Sunday she also had a really awesome time. Yesterday was testimony meeting and the Spirit was really strong!
On Saturday
my companion and I also went to a YSA activity in another stake and
played Quidditch. It was quite hilarious and also lots of fun.
The
best part of this week was helping a few members of our ward who are
struggling. I can already see how the Atonement is working within them
to change their hearts. A cool experience I had in that regard was when a
YSA in our ward was expressing her struggles to us and she felt bad
because she didn't want to be a burden. I was filled with love. I told
her that she didn't have to worry because I have the best job in the
world. I'm here to listen to people's struggles and help them feel
happy. Heavenly Father has prepared me for this day and the Atonement of
our Savior Jesus Christ is REAL. This work is hard but it is SO
rewarding and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
I
have been feeling sick this week...I just shake so many people's hands
and it's that season so keep praying for me and my health.
Last
week I forgot to include some funny things that happened...so I want to
do that this week. I hope these experiences make you smile!
On
my first day proselyting we met a man named Reginald. He was SO excited
to see us! As far as he was concerned we were godsents! Haha he was so
excited to talk about Jesus and afterward he wanted to pray with
us...right there on the sidewalk! Haha I was a bit concerned he was
trying to distract us and have us close our eyes while a friend would
steal stuff from our bags but he actually really wanted to pray with us!
Haha after the prayer he told us to keep praying for him and that he
would pray for us...then he kissed us!!! Hahahaha you're not even
supposed to HUG as missionaries and he kissed us! Lol that was a hoot...
We
also met a man the next day in the city who was just eatin some
chicken, happy as can be, and when we walked up to him, he saw "Jesus
Christ" on our name tags and just started BEAMING at us and said, "Yeah,
yeah! I believe in Jesus!!" Then we talked a little while he just kept
chompin on that chicken hahaha! We gave him a picture of Christ and he
kissed it with those greasy lips haha! People in Baltimore love kissing.
Something
fun that happened this week was getting to know our district leader and
his companion...they are just some kinda special...I think that's a
requirement to be district leader haha!
Love you all!
