"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:" ~1 Peter 2:9
Dear Family and Friends!
This week has been great! We've been finding and teaching a lot of people! I absolutely love being a missionary and teaching the gospel. I cannot say that enough times, there's just so much joy from this work. If you don't have the opportunity to be a fultime missionary, be a missionary anyway! It makes you so much happier!!
Ana: She was a referral from a member and she is awesome! She was actually baptized a couple of months ago in an evangelical church, and is a pretty strong member of this other church. When we invited her to read the book of mormon, she had absolutely no intention of reading it, but God is a God of miracles. So she ended up leaving her bible at her other church one day and she came home and wanted to study the scriptures but had nothing! So she decided to pick up the Book of Mormon and read it until 3 a.m! She's already in 2 Nephi and she only started reading on Wednesday! How crazy! She also accepted the invite to be baptized by someone who holds priesthood authority. It is amazing how God is preparing people.
Ariana: We found her earlier this week as we tried to visit a former investigator. She's 15 and is eager to find the truth and her pathway in life. She has been accepting everything we've taught her really well. She also has accepted the invitation to be baptized. I'm really excited for her :)
We are still working with our other investigators, as always and they are doing great. I'm so grateful for the opportunity i have to be here. I love this work, I love my Savior and I know that this is His church.
I love you all!!
