Oh do I love being a missionary...
We
are continuing in our efforts with the members this week. Truly,
members are where it's at. I look back on the Baptisms that I've been
blessed with and they have been through the members. There's COUNTLESS
reasons why members are crucial but one of the main reasons is, well,
you know people and uh, we don't! All we want is to find these people,
teach and baptize them so that they'll return home. Everyone, it is not
only our privilege, but our responsibility to share this gospel.
Think about the blessings that have come to your life through living
this gospel. No really, think. I know we've heard it multiple times, but
if we truly care about our friends and family, then what's really
stopping us from inviting them to have these blessings in their lives as
well?
Well, we've seen a great many miracles. No
investigators still (people keep falling through) but BUT...members are
beginning to send the referrals in and they're getting more excited
about the work. I KNOW HE IS BLESSING US IN OUR EFFORTS. (Justin dropped
us..but that's okay!! Well no, it's not..but you know )
We
saw a miracle a couple days ago walking into this black guy named
Ronnie. He was mowing his lawn. Soooo of course we waltzed up to him to
share this beautiful, life changing message of His. He got SO animated
talking to us. He kept saying "Maybe this is the place for me" and
"Yeah, this feels just so right'. Oooh Ronnie. We talked to him for a
good 20 minutes and at the end he promised that he'd be coming to church
on sunday and "Who knows, might even get baptized." And you know, even
if he doesn't (which he will) I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father for
those tender mercies that he shows us out here, not because he has too,
but because he just wants to let us know that he's aware.
Words
leave me when it comes to Sister Franklin. She is a blessing in my life
and I am so grateful that Heavenly Father put us together this
transfer, oh my goodness. Fingers crossed we'll be together next.
I
love you all muy much. I'm really going to try to make my emails
longer, promise. We WILL be getting investigators though this week. Keep
praying for us and doing your part in missionary work as well! :)
