Hey Y'all,
So again can't believe it is another start of
a week and that I can now say that I am halfway and boy that is so weird! It
was a great week! We had great lessons and found new investigators with lots of
potential and a great General Conference to finish the week!
My favorite Talks are...... I am happy to say
that I don't have one! I loved it all and I had lots of my questions answered
that I had written down. I really liked on Saturday Elder Holland's talk. He is
such a great example of lovingly Bold and so loving and very very sincere.
Loved it and I thought of my family through the whole talk. President
Uchtdorf's was very powerful I thought and I felt kind of like he was giving me
a slap in the face. I probably am making the gospel to hard and that makes it
hard for me to ten teach it. I am going to commit to focusing on being more
simple in my teaching and in my studies. I loved Sister Marriott's and am
definitely a strong believer that "It will all work out" I see myself
saying that a lot as a missionary and know that I have to trust God in
everything. Sunday I loved President Monson's although I could see he had a
hard time and I felt like he might fall or faint but I know he felt the spirit
and knew that God would help him give us his message and love! I felt the
spirit so strongly and love the prophet so very much and have made a new motto
for myself " Be an example of Faith, Trusting in God and Christ, by
showing them you love them with an anchor in your faith!" I absolutely
loved President Nelson's especially as he called his talk saying that he
testifies of these things as our brother.
This week I felt like we had a lesson all day
long every day this week. It was great but I loved it when 10:30 came around! I
especially love that Sister Olive is such a great missionary and wants to work.
We get stuff done! This week we found two new investigator one from a referral
from the primary president. She was a friend from High School and we taught her
the Restoration. We are coming back tomorrow to teach the Plan of Salvation and
so excited. She has great potential. She has a hard time understanding and so
we are going to use visuals. A lot of the people here haven't had a really good
education and so using visuals are so needed. We got with a less active we haven't
been able to get to see and no has seen her in years. She was so glad when we
asked her if she would like a Priesthood Blessing. On Thursday was my first
time to our Book of Mormon class where us and the Elders lead a discussion as
we all read the Book of Mormon together. We had a couple of people come and we
read in 1 Nephi 14. It was amazing and I absolutely loved it. I had more
questions than comments that I wanted answered for me and it was great to feel
the spirit there. On Saturday we finally got with our two young investigators
who are brothers and are 10 and 9. They are great and one was glad to hear that
we had something in common. He liked that the fact that I have had seizures and
that I have brothers who have ADD and ADHD. When we left he gave me a big hug!
They are the greatest and so glad to have finally meet them. We taught them
about Missionary work and Service. Yesterday we had another lesson with one of
our younger investigators too. She also has ADHD and she hadn't taken her
medicine that morning and so she has had a really hard time. Amazingly when we
pulled out my whiteboard she was able to focus and we finished teaching her the
Plan of Salvation. I love her and she is getting so close to baptism. She is
going through the lessons again but she is starting to really learn everything
so quickly. It's amazing how just a little child can learn so much.
I love it here in Pembroke! It was quite and
adjustment, but I really am starting to see why In was sent here. Every time I
feel inadequate I hear in my head "trust me and you will be fine. Remember
this is my work and I use the weak and simple. I sent you here because these
people need you for who you are. Get working" Just this weekend we heard
that the spirit will tell us things we don't expect but sometime he tells us
the obvious. Love it here and love Pembroke and all the Lumbee people. Although
I am so tired of all this Rain! If anyone is praying for rain can you please
pretty please stop! Love you all and have another great week!
