Bringing Them Back

Hello!  

So some updates from the week.... 

Me and my comps learned a lot about leadership this week. We had to go and talk to some sisters about some issues going on. We were so worried what we would say and how they would take it. We prayed and discussed how we could help them understand. We decided to share D&C section 4 with them that talks about missionary work and about how we should be as missionaries. We planned the things we would discuss and when we went it went so much better than we thought. I’m not sure if the sisters will really take our advice and love but we did our best and I know the spirit touched their hearts even just a little because we corrected with love and followed the spirit. Sometimes our missionary work gets a little out of focus and we just have to help one another and bring them back. Definitely on mission I’m learning more than just spiritual knowledge. I'm learning about how to work with others of all different backgrounds. I’m also realizing that the older I get on mission the more I learn and sometimes I wish I would have known it back then but I know that everything is just part of the plan! So I’ll just keep on learning! 

This week we had an interesting experience. We were at Pick and Pay (it’s like Vons or Rite Aid Zambia version) and we are walking in and this lady stops us and says, "Hello sisters!" and we get all excited cause SOMEONE KNOWS US and we turn around and she told us, "I used to be a Mormon. I would love for you to come visit me on Wednesday." uh okay!~ so we get her number and we set a time and then Wednesday came and we call her and she doesn't pick up so we cant find her house so we just have to go see someone else...... but then on Saturday we get a call from a less active in our ward saying that her sister called her and told her that she was still waiting for the missionaries to come. TURNS OUT THEY ARE SISTERS! So we call Nicole the lady again and find out we can come then we run to her house and get to meet with her. Her house was beautiful. One of the prettiest I have been in and the lady she stays alone. Anyways, so we sit and share a message but first we asked her to share more about her story. Turns out she was one of the first members in Woodlands back in 1998 when she was baptized (that’s as long as I have been alive!). She went less active after her mom died in 2011. But since then she has been feeling like she is missing something. She tried other churches but something just kept telling her to go back to Latter-day Saints. So when she saw us she knew it was time. She told us she wanted to take baby steps but that she wanted to do it. So we invited her to church and she said she would come. She ended up having visitors that day but we called her and we will see her again this week. But we shared with her a scripture in John 16:13   Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:   and he will shew you things to come.

That spirit guided her back to the truth and helped her see what she should do. The Holy Spirit is real! And I’m grateful it will always be helping us bring people to the truth and with Nicole, bringing her back to it. 

Also funny thing for the week --so its starting to get hot over here again and so my tan is coming along nicely..... on my one arm! The arm that’s next to the window when I drive! yeah see if you can spot the difference in the pic! 

Anyways hope you all have a great week! I cant believe it’s September. WHERE DOES TIME GO? Enjoy it! 

with lots and lots of love,
