Hey gang!
This week was so wonderful!
On Wednesday, I picked up my presh little greenie, Sister GREEN! I was so nervous to train! When I found out I was training I prayed so hard for the Lord's guiding hand to be over me as we started this new transfer! I was scared that I didn't know how to be a little missionary girl! But boy oh boy has the Lord made me equal to the task! He has helped me to be bold and joyous in my teaching. I realized that the difference between being pushy and being bold was love. I also know that perfect love casteth out all fear! So that is what I decided to do this week: to love a little harder! I tried to remember that everyone I talked to is a beloved child of God, and I have to say that it paid off.
So we had to cancel our lesson with Mark this week, but he has been reading the Book of Mormon, so he is on the right path! Then we were in Dubois and we decided to go see a lady named Erin. She is someone that has been referred to us many times, and Sister Warren and I introduced ourselves. Sister Green and I went over to share Light the World. She really enjoyed it and agreed to participate! We also invited her to take the lessons and she said YES! That was super exciting. Light the World is an amazing missionary tool! I have really enjoyed using it in my tracting approaches! It doesn't matter what religion you are, we should all strive to serve as the Savior did! So I would invite you all to share it with someone and invite them to participate with you this week!
Then we went to see Ida this week! We talked about the Book of Mormon and she pulled out the scripture in revelation about not adding to the bible. We explained the scriptural timeline and bore our testimonies that it isn't meant to replace or add to the bible, but to act as another testament of Jesus Christ. She was like "Ya know what I'm gonna do? I am gonna pray and ask if I should read it!" I was like "You do that Ida" ;) because we all know what happens after that!
We had the opportunity to go to the nativity celebration in Riverton with a couple of nonmembers. I was really touched that in every culture, the story of Christ's birth is still the same!
The best part of my week was when cousin Pat bore her testimony on Sunday! It reminded me about ht when Sister Green told me that one of her goals was to see conversion. That has been the highlight of my mission to see Cousin Pat come unto Christ! She was my first investigator, and now she is my dear friend. I cannot wait to see her enter the waters of baptism.
We also found 2 new investigators on Sunday and one yesterday, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious here in Lander!
I love you all!
