Bowling as a zone! |
haha the elders
cleaning the baptismal font we walked in and saw them like this they didnt know we were there. |
This week we had a lot of opposition. It was insane. It was
just like one thing after another. It was a great lesson though to keep
exercising our faith and keep going no matter what. March is going to be a
miraculous month. Our mission has a goal to get 100 baptisms in this month. We
are calling it March madness. Haha our mission president said that we will
never look at March madness the same in our life. Which is true! But he told us
that since we have such a high expectation to expect opposition. Haha he said
to rejoice in it then expect miracles to happen... which is a lot easier said
than done! But we put a smile on our face and keep going. It is all in Gods
hands. He will take care of us and each of you! I know this and we just gotta
keep having faith in that.
We did see miracles happen though. We are teaching this less
actives little boy. He is so awesome and wants to be baptized. We went and met
with him and invited him to be baptized and he said he didnt know if he should
or not. So we told him to pray and ask God if that is something that he should
do. Then we went back to teach him again and we asked if he prayed. He said he
did and that he asked God if he should be baptized. Then he said "God told
me it is something i should do it" It was awesome and totally strengthened
my testimony that God truly hears and answers EVERYONES prayers. This little
boy is only 10 years old. He is amazing!!! I have truly learned that the
spirit is the teacher. As we were teaching him on Saturday we were talking
about Jesus Christ and asked him what he knew about Jesus Christ and he was
telling us a bunch of things about Jesus Christ. Some of the things we hadnt
even talked about with him yet. So we asked him "Has your dad told you
about Jesus Christ?" and he said "no" we were like "has
your dads girlfriend?" and he said "No you two taught me about Jesus
Christ" I thought for a minute and to myself i was like we have not taught
him about all that yet. He is so smart and so in tune with the spirit it kills
me. God is truly the one that is at the head of this work and like i said
before we have to trust in him. Which is also sometimes easier said than done!
But we just gotta do it anyway :)
This guy in our ward makes book of mormon action figures and this is his new toy he made before it even made it to deseret book we are the first ones to see it haha |
Even though we faced a lot of rejection and hard times this
week there was still plenty to smile about. That is the wonderful thing the
gospel give us is hope and something greater to look forward to. I know that
even though we each face trials each week that God has great things in store
for each of us and those trials are to shape us a prepare us for the future. I
read an awesome talk this week. I cant remember what it was called but in it
the apostle said "are you gonna falter or finish?" i thought that was
just an awesome little power statement. So everytime i am going through a
struggle i think to myself "am i gonna falter or finish?" It is
awesome and just gives you the courage and the spirit to keep going. I know
this gospel is true. i know God takes care of his children. I love this work
and i love my mission! I LOVE ALL OF YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!
Love your sister Davis :)
