Anyway this week was a little bit slow for the work but that's OK.
We
had a pretty cool experience on Wednesday. No one was really answering
their doors and right before we were going to go back into the car, I
said we should knock on one more. So we went to this house and this lady
just let us in before we even said anything. She didn't become a new
investigator or anything, but she was having a hard day with her Dad being on
the way out. So we were able to talk about the Spirit world and she just
was the sweetest lady ever.
Thursday we had a pretty good Zone Meeting. It was especially cool when Elder Krulish completely
scrapped his training and followed the Spirit to talk about finding like
Christ. It was really great and just what I needed to help me through
the next couple of weeks. We also talked about Satan and how real he is
and how he is trying to tell us that numbers matter and that I am not a
good missionary because of x, y, and z. So it was just really good. We
also were able to give some Book of Mormons to some kids that day too. That was
cool.
Friday we had a really good lesson with a family that we
found in December. We taught the Plan of Salvation and the Spirit was
so strong. I love that plan. I don't know if they quite understand why
we are teaching them but they are just the coolest.
Saturday
was a really great day. We went to teach Cindi and Jackie and boy was
that fun. We also taught them the Plan of Salvation and it was so cool.
Jackie kept saying she had never heard this before and so it was good to
remind her of the joy of the Gospel. I was teaching about our purpose
on earth and Jackie said that no one had ever explained it the way I did
before. I literally have no idea what I said. But I just love those
moments when you know that the Spirit is working through you and that
you are able to touch someones life that day. That is why I love being a
missionary. We also met with Victoria. Her life is falling apart. And
it's stupid Satan that is trying to tear her family apart. Don't let him
fool you folks. Let Christ in your life so that Satan will not have room
in the Inn. Then we had a really cool lesson with Naomi and Jason.
Jason isn't a member but he has the coolest Spirit about him. We were
talking about the Holy Ghost and the Spirit was just so strong. I really
just love those two. They are great!
Yesterday we had Zone Preparation Day. We, of course, played volleyball. It wasn't the best Zone Preparation Day I
have had but it was still fun. Elder Olsen tried to kill my companion so
I in turn was about to bust his face in. Haha just kidding. But he
kicked the volleyball and it went straight to Sister Cameron's head.
They were super close too so it hit her hard. It was so funny but at the
same time really scary. But Elder Olsen ran away so fast that it wasn't
even funny. He was hiding too. Good times. But it was all good. After
dinner we went to a less active member's house, David, whose girlfriend, Heather, isn't a
member. So we taught her the restoration and she is really interested
in continuing to learn. The coolest part about the lesson was how much
David participated and was able to explain things in such a way that we
couldn't. He is a cool dude. I think Heather has lots of potential too.
We will just have to see.
Anyway sorry for the mess of an
email. Know that I love my Savior and that I love being a missionary
more than anything in the world. This truly is the work of the Lord and
it's an amazing one at that!
Keep the faith and have a great week!
Much love,
Sister Richards
