Miracle
Lesson:
Our
first lesson with Nadine was amazing! We go in and she just starts asking us
questions about the temple and we got into a really cool conversation about
family history. We ended up calling a senior couple in our district and they
came over and we all went over to the church and did family history with her!
It was so cool!
She
also said the day that she met us on the street, she was randomly trying to
find Wi-Fi, and it was a miracle that she just happened to be there at the same
time. She also prayed about the restoration and she had this really cool
experience with a dream, and she believes it`s true! She`s amazing :) I feel so
blessed to be part of her story!
Members
and Lessons:
I
had been praying for more members to be able to come out with us. Since
we have 4 baptismal dates coming up in the next month, we need to help our
investigators meet ward members. Honestly our members are amazing, and more
than willing to come out with us, it`s just so hard to correlate with last
minute lessons, and a lot of people are on vacation.
A
few members were able to come to a few lessons with Victorine and it literally
made all the difference! They were able to testify, and explain things to they
were more clear! It was amazing! They basically told Victorine and her family
that she was entering into a big ward family, that made me so happy :) We`ll
leave, but I know that are amazing amis will be looked after!
This
Sunday I had a chance to share some experiences with members and lessons in
church. It was super nerve wracking and I went off script for most of it, which
was terrifying! But I basically read D&C 4: 3 and said `This is your
mission call, you have been hereby called to labor in the Quebec, Quebec
mission`` honestly I feel so bad about not including members more before this,
I feel like we see so many amazing things, and I just want everyone else in our
ward to see them too! Our new goal is to try to get members to every lesson,
and start planning better so they can come :)
THE
TEMPLE:
We
were able to go to the temple with 2 of our recent converts and 2 recently
activated members and their daughter who is our ami (SHE`S GETTING BAPTISED
THIS WEEK WE`RE SO EXCITED!!!!!) It was so special, and we were able to help
Florencio, our recent convert, take his father and 2 grandfathers names to the
temple. Honestly I`m so blessed to be surrounded by such strong and wonderful
people!
Exchanges:
We
had exchanges this week! I was with Sister Barton in our area!!! Sister Barton
is an amazing STL, she has a way of being very straightforward, following the
spirit, but with love at the same time.
So
funny moment of the year, Sister Barton and I just got into our apartment,
when the door bolt broke so it was sticking out and wouldn`t go back in, so we
tried to fix it. Then I had the brilliant idea of pushing the door closed....
We locked ourselves into our own apparent!!!! We managed call the land lord to
come fix it, but it wasn't until the next morning that we could open our
door 😂
We
had an amazing breakthrough moments with many of our investigators. One of our
amis, who`s really catholic, we stopped by and we got into a conversation about
prayer. She said that she really only said prayers that were written down
before, but she was open to trying to pray how we did.
We
taught her, and she tried it out. It was so powerful, I could feel the love
that Heavenly Father has for her, and for His children. It was amazing...
