Ok so as for this week it was a pretty hard but it was also good and I
grew a lot. I learned even more about Charity again this week.. so
sorry I will talk about it again. but it is the monthly focus. Our next
focus is Faith so you will get to here a lot about that next week :)
This week was rough with Keiry. On thursday we had an appointment
with her and we were really excited, but something happened before we
came in and she asked us too leave. After that we werent able to get in
contact with her and it was honestly really hard. She is going through
some rough things in her personal life and we didnt know what to do to
help. Plus she wasnt answering the door or the phone so we were afraid
that it was something that we did or about the church. It was even
harder because we know how much her having the Holy Ghost would help her
and she still hasnt recieved it.. We were feeling pretty sad and also
seeking a lot of revelation about how to help her. God answered those
prayers and Fasts in different ways than we thought tho. Or initial
desire was to have her be able to receive the Holy Ghost, but we werent
able to talk to her so, she could not get it. The thought came to us to
just be patient and to remember that things will happen in the Lords
timing and this is part of the process for her conversion to the Gospel.
Part of an answer to our prayers was the Package you sent :) We were
feeling a little down and then our doorbell rang and there was the
package, I was soooo happy! thank you so much. IT helped with Keiry too
because the prompting came to us to give her some of those cookies with a
picture of Christ so we did so. with a note. Like I said we didnt get
in contact with her.. but this morning she sent a text, explaining that
she was out of town and she just saw the cookies and note and she loved
it. IT was good and a definite tender mercy. And know we learned even
more that God has his timing and we know that it will all work out. But I
learned even more this week that we are really at war with evil. That
the adversary is working to bring us down especially the strong ones
like you all and Keiry. I was getting pretty mad at him for doing that
too. And then I realized that God is more powerful and that we are going
to win this war. W e just have to keep fighting hard and not let him
get to us or those we love. he is lame. I learned How God has blessed me
with love for those I serve, I did not realize how much I love the
people here until this week until this experience with Keiry. I felt so
sad, and wanted to do whatever I could to help her. It gave me a taste
of how God feels about us when we have hard things in our lives or are
not able to recieve all the blessing he has for us. He loves Us SO MUCH.
I know that. I felt that Love for those in our ward yesterday too as I
sat in church and looked at them all. It is a cool feeling to truly want
to help others receive Eternal Life.
Also Ashley is doing great, we taught them a few times this week,
and she has a baptismal date for Oct. 20. She is such a happy girl and
is exited about baptism and doing what is right. Chris will hopefully
have a date tonight and Joandi later this week :)
I honestly love my mission so much, I have never felt so happy and
close to the Savior. I have to rely on him and I know that this is his
Gospel :) it is so true and next week we get to hear from a Prophet of
God and Apostles of The Lord Jesus Chirst. So amazing. We are blessed.
Love you all!!
