hiii guys! I hope you all
enjoyed your last full week of summer! I feel like summer didn't even
exist in my life this year because I think the closest I came to a pool
was about 15 feet. but its totally fine because "sacrifice brings forth
the blessings of heaven"
We had such a good week this past week!
MONDAY: I took a nap. this was awesome.
TUESDAY-FRIDAY:
pretty much we just tried to find people to teach all day. We have
something call a "teaching pool" which is just all of our investigators.
and this week we looked at it, and realized two things:
1. no one is really progressing in the gospel
2. the ones that are are getting baptized on Saturday (basically just Kaia)
So
we spent a lot of time finding new people this week and asking people
if they know anyone who is interested in the gospel! we didn't find too
many people to teach like we were planning on doing but we have lots of
people who we are going to visit this week that seem really interested
in the gospel. So that's really exciting! It's so cool to see how the
Lord is preparing people everywhere we go. so keep praying that the
people in St Louis will be prepared! prayers work!
SATURDAY &
SUNDAY: Kaia got baptized and was confirmed a member of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! yayyyayay! Her baptism was soo good. I
love this family so much. Kaia's dad lives in Canada and wasn't able to
come to her baptism but her wrote a letter that was read and let's just
say everyone was in tears. This little girl is sosososo loved! She bore
her testimony and shared how she knows that God answers prayers and
that the Book of Mormon is true. I'm so glad she has found that truth
because it will carry her throughout her life. Those simple truths can
carry all of us actually! I feel so blessed to have been one of the many
missionaries to teach Kaia, she always teaches me how to be more
submissive and humble and how to just have a positive attitude.
sorry
not much happened this week to share! Everything really is going to
good over here though! I'm loving this city, the people, and just being a
missionary overall. This time in my life is such a blessing. I think
back to when I first came out and I totally had a deer in the head
lights look because I had NO idea what was going on. Really though. But I
wonder how I was able to overcome all those trials and think about all
those nights I just laid in bed and prayed. What I think helped me so
much was prayer, actually I know that's what helped me so much! Heavenly
Father really did answer so many of my prayers from helping me love the
people and to know that my family was being taken care of to helping me
feel not so bad about burning 90% of the food I tried to make (funny
side story: I made noodles for dinner last night and had some butter on
them, I didn't understand why the butter wasn't melting until I realized
I had put crème cheese on it instead). He really does listen, and
answer. And I love Him for that.
I love you all
and hope you have a good first week of school! Look for the people who
seem a little nervous or sad and be their friend!
