This week was awesome. I feel like every single week just continues
to get better and I love being a missionary. Also..THE CHURCH IS TRUE!
:)
So Monday evening we went to Lancaster to do exchanges
with Hermana Bills and Hermana Davis. We decided to blitz (we are all in
one area dividing and conquering) on Monday and Sister Jarvis and I
were walking around and found some Spanish people, but we didn't have
the Hermanas! So they went back the next day and picked them up as new
investigators!
Tuesday, I was with Hermana Bills and their
area is the entire stake, because they are in a Spanish branch, so we
went out finding, and found a ton of potentials for them! The Lord
definitely leads us to those people ho are prepared for the gospel.
Wednesday, we spent ALL day doing service, organizing and cleaning their garage, at the Fergusons! As Sister Jarvis always says "Service Softens Hearts" Whether it is our own, or the people we are serving, or both!
Thursday,
we had district meeting, and funny enough, we talked about serving the
members of the ward, so we were able to relate our service from the day
before a lot. We also went to Columbia and one of the people we saw was
Nicole. Her mom was baptized back in February, and she didn't seem
interested at ALL, but while teaching Jen, Nicole started asking a lot
of really good questions, and we were able to help her to realized the
importance of gaining your own testimony of the Book of Mormon.
*That
is one of the biggest things, is reading and praying about the Book of
Mormon, and attending church. Gaining our OWN testimony of whether or
not it is truth.*
Friday, at our dinner a guy, who is a Jew
that believes in Jesus Christ, came over and sat in on our spiritual
thought, which we were teaching the Restoration, and he totally believes
it is true! So cool.
Then Saturday, MORE SERVICE!!! :)
Making a roof for pigeons, moving people. Then we had a stake Meet the
Mormons movie night! LOVE THAT MOVIE!!! We hear some crazy ideas
sometimes of what Mormons are, we are normal people I promise! It was
also really cool to see Missionaries, members, and non-members all there
TOGETHER enjoying a great evening!
Then Sunday, CHURCH! We
also had a great lesson with our new investigator Scott, In the lesson
we showed a short restoration video, and the spirit as SO strong! I KNOW
that Joseph Smith as a true prophet, and through him the gospel of
CHRIST was restored! I am SO grateful or a modern day prophet!! I am so
grateful for the priesthood and the fullness of the gospel of the earth!
CHURCH IS TRUE! :)

Temple pix...There was a bug.
We see a ton of bunnies and I always tell sister Jarvis to catch
one... And she finally did! A little baby!
AMISH! :)
Had to get rid of our area book after putting in all the records.. :)
We also ran through some corn :)
