Greetings, friends and family!
What an amazing week. It was quite eventful! We stayed so
busy and literally had appointments every hour for a 9 hour block most of the
days! Crazy stuff. The Lord provides (: Oh mom, so I dived more into my
package, and I found the vocal point CD with money! Best day ever!Thanks so
much! Seriously, we needed new music haha. The stuff we have is great,
but it was time for a change. Just so you know, we can listen to
hymns/nashville tribute band during the week, and EFY on p day/during
exercising.
Sis. Mahone and me
We had exchanges this week, and that went really well!
Sister Mahoney came down from Peach Tree City, and we had a miracleful day!
She's from Nova Scotia (Scott's mission!) and she's actually serving on temple
square, so this is just her outbound mission.
But we found the most
amazing family in our old complex! Who would have thought? So it's Kenny and
Bridget, and their kids SaRhonda, Jordan, and Kyle (7, 8, and 9. Two
baptismal age!) They've been wanting to get back in church and we just had the
most amazing lesson with them! We taught the restoration with our new cups
object lesson, and they loved it so much! Even all the kids were attentive, and
when they'd talk or get up, the parents would shush them and make them listen
haha. It was great though! They all accepted our invitation to baptism, and
they would have come to church this week, but they already planned a trip to 6
flags, haha dang it. Next week! They asked for our numer when we
originally met them, and I gave them a pass along card with our number, and it
was the one with the SLC temple on it. He asked about it, and they're
pretty much preparing to go to the temple right now! They're so prepared, it's
crazy. FINALLY WE FOUND A FAMILY!!!
We also had zone training, which means we got to go to the
temple! It's been like two months since we went! Temple craving = satisfied.
President Harding pretty much did the whole training, and it was awesome! Every
week this transfer, we're working toward different summits. We've had
baptismal dates, member presents, and now this week is church. President
is a little intimidating, but he's the kindest, most Christlike, faith-filled,
diligent, and motivational man. You just have to know he's called of
God.
Before we went to the temple, me and Sister Call had a Pearl
of Great Price party! We read through it all in preparation for the temple, and
I didn't realize how much stuff I don't know! Seriously, Heavenly Father is so
cool! We literally had to break it down sentence by sentence to understand, but
it was sweet. Kolob, post-earth life and such. Good times.
We finally got to teach the lesbian couple, Bran and Marsha!
They're the coolest! For some reason, I just kept feeling like we need to keep
trying, because we went by so many times to set a return appointment, and then
they weren't there but we just kept going back. They appreciated that we
were genuine, not just trying to see how they live and what not. We
taught them the restoration with cups, and they were reading the Book of Mormon
before we even left. Something Marsha said about our missionary work made me
respond with "Sacrifice brings forth blessings" and she loved that!
Haha we're going to really nail that into their mind (:
All our other people are doing great from what we've seen!
Roy is just sucking up everything that we give him and loves to learn and ask
questions. Montavious, we actually haven't seen all week, but we'll see
him on Wednesday and make sure he's still progressing. We couldn't see Keegen
either, but we're having FHE with them tonight and he's excited for that! I
still have no idea how to get that family to church. Satan's powerful, let me
tell ya.
I was thinking of my setting apart blessing during church
yesterday as we were talking about the priesthood, and moved along to
priesthood blessings. Someone said you just know that it's not them
talking when they pause for a minute, and let the Spirit work inside of them to
know what to say. I know dad's blessing he gave me was definitely not his
own words. I've just been waiting for some things to be fulfilled, and to
recognize those angels that I helped, when they help me. Things are really
going great. I'm excited for an awesome week this week, and we're hoping
for many more miracles to come. I know that this is the Lord's work, and
that we cannot do this alone. I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ
revealed themselves to Joseph Smith that spring morning in 1820 in an
answer to his humble prayer. I'm so thankful to be a servant of the Lord,
and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else at this time in my life. I
love my Savior, and because He lives, we have this wonderful opportunity to
partake of the many blessings in store for us.
Have a blessed week, y'all (:
Love, Sister Facer
