10/10 would recommend this book
Wow I always love the first week of a new transfer. We've been
working super hard these last few weeks and we are finally seeing some amazing
miracles. We were able to find 6 new investigators as we were out finding this
week and we were so excited. People were just being placed in our path everyday
and it was crazy how it all worked out.
We had a miracle with our investigators Vicky. She found the
church through her granddaughter’s boyfriend who is a member and we have been
teaching her for about 3 months. She really wants to be baptized but was really
hesitant about coming to church. A few weeks ago she called us saying she wants
to be baptized but she doesn't want to have any strings attached. We were
heartbroken and prayed extra hard to know what to do to help her. This week we
had an amazing lesson with her and we had a member with us that testified so
powerfully of how the church has changed her life. We realized that she knew
she needed to be baptized; we just had to help her gain a testimony of the
Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We went back and re-taught some of
those principles and we were able to share the First Vision with her again.
This time the spirit was so strong and there was a change that happened. At the
end of the lesson she told us she was thinking about coming to church and then
she came! We saw her come through the doors yesterday and we went and gave her
the biggest hugs ever. She always calls us her babies or her little girls and
it's so cute haha! She loved church and said she would be back next week. It
was SUCH a miracle!!
We are teaching another lady named Vicky (super confusing. I
talked about her in my email a few weeks ago though) and she came to church
again as well! She is so amazing and knows so much about the church and the
Book of Mormon she seems more like a Less Active member than an investigator.
We are working a lot with her as well and are hoping she will be getting
baptized soon.
We had another crazy miracle happen with the Vihugho family. We
have been teaching them for a really long time and 3 of the kids in the family
are already baptized. We have been working really hard with the parents and one
of the younger daughters trying to prepare them to get baptized. We haven’t
been able to see them for about a month because they moved and their phones
weren't working so we weren't able to get their new address. We had heard from
a member they were living in a certain apartment complex so one day we went to
the complex determined to find them. We parked our car and walked across the
parking lot trying to decide where to start (this complex is HUGE) we felt
inspired to head one way and ended up walking right up to their door. They saw
us through the window and let us right in. It took us maybe 5 minutes to find
their apartment. It was a crazy miracle haha! We were finally able to teach
them again and the mom and daughter are both set to be baptized May 6th!! The
whole family was in church yesterday and we were so so excited. Too many
miracles I can't even handle it!
It has been so amazing so to get to share the Prince of Peace
video with people this week. If anyone hasn't seen it in highly recommend it.
You can watch it on lds.org or mormon.org! I have
found so much peace in my life as I have turned my life over to the Savior. I
know that he cares about me and knows me individually. I know that he lived,
died, and lived again so that we can all live again and be reunited with our
loved ones. I love that I get to share this with people every day. God be
thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son!!
I love y'all!! Have a blessed week <33
