So transfer news is in and I will be staying another transfer in Loveland with Sister Stapelman! I just know that we will see miracles next transfer and that the Lord is preparing the hearts of the people in our area!
Last preparation day we went to Estes Park with Sister McGoffin! It was so fun! We went to the Christmas store, the taffy shop, and tons of gift shops! I shopped til I dropped! We also went to the Stanley Hotel (it's haunted) and it was soooo spooks! Estes Park is simply breathtaking and the beautiful sights denote there is a God!
We got to teach Mike yesterday! He told us that he feels like his time on earth is coming to an end and that he wants to prepare to meet God. He said that he has accepted the Book of Mormon to be true and he said the sweetest prayer. He even cried as he thanked his Heavenly Father for the love and kindness we have showed him on his spiritual journey.
Isabella came to church on Sunday! She loved it and she is going to participate in the Primary's nativity program. We are hoping that she will be able to be baptized because she really wants to!
I love being a missionary, but sometimes it's really hard! I am thankful that the priesthood has been restored to the earth. Elder Hardie gave me a very nice blessing this week. I have been lacking motivation for the past several weeks. I was reminded that though my mission has been hard at times that God has prepared people for me to meet and to teach and to testify to that Jesus is the Christ.
I am thankful for His role as my advocate! I know I will continue to face hard times in my life, but I love this dialogue from an Egyptian manuscript:
"He took the clay from the hand of the angel, and made Adam according to Our image and likeness, and He left him lying for forty days and forty nights without putting breath into him. And He heaved sighs over him daily, saying, ‘If I put breath into this [man], he must suffer many pains.’ And I said unto My Father, ‘Put breath into him; I will be an advocate for him.’ And My Father said unto Me, ‘If I put breath into him, My beloved Son, Thou wilt be obliged to go down into the world, and to suffer many pains for him before Thou shalt have redeemed him, and made him to come back to his primal state.’ And I said unto My Father, ‘Put breath into him; I will be his advocate, and I will go down into the world, and will fulfill Thy command.’”
Jesus Christ is my Savior and the source of all peace!
I love you all!
Love,
