First
off, on Wednesday I received a companion. NOT a 'greenie' or 'baby'. I
feel pretty inadequate training this wonderful missionary, Sister
Franklin. She makes me want to be better every day! I've honestly never
seen more of a sincere love for and desire to share this gospel. She
actually lost an older sister a few years back and that is one of her
driving motivators in this work. She needs to share this message that
helped her family get through it together.
The area was split
with the Elders and, darn it, they got all of our investigators. But
hey, because of that we were able to just hit the streets, finding
away.
Sister Franklin and I experienced a rather different
kind of miracle today. We were out, just a findin' away, when we ran
into a "basher." Now this lady was actually one of the hardest I've ever
run into. She'd been a member for over 50 years and was pretty ANTI.
I've found that during those instances my mind and heart become almost
numb and I almost (..almost) feel sympathy for them because their ideas
of this church and the blessings it brings are just so twisted. So I was
doing all right, but just one look over at Sister Franklin and you
could tell she wasn't. We were finally able to get away from the
situation. We crossed the street and Sister Franklin looked at me and
asked if we could say a prayer. I began to say it and suddenly the Spirit hit me like a ton of bricks. I choked up, not being able to talk
for a bit. We both silently stood there for a while, too wrapped up in
our emotions to even speak. We both knew however that this church was
(and is) true. Joseph Smith really did see Heavenly Father and
Jesus Christ. And through all of that, Christ's true church has been
restored to this earth. Well why was this a miracle you ask? It was
truly one of the most powerful witnesses to the truthfulness of this
church that Heavenly Father has blessed me with out here so far. I
grateful for my mission. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn to
work hard for the best reason; my Savior.
I'm sorry the email wasn't longer this week. Definitely get some pictures of us to y'all next week. She's so amazing!
I love you all. Have a great and blessed week fam-bam,
Sister Call
