Hey Y'all,
Yep! If you didn't already know I got
Transferred again!!! I have now 5 areas in where I have served! But that is
okay! I am in Dunn and the Ward is great! They are so loving and caring for the
missionaries! Today they are even willing to go to Wal-Mart with us so me and
my new companion can get presents for each other.
So my new companion is Sister Beard! She
is amazing! She is so cute! She has been out for 6 months! She is a great
missionary and great at leading out of this area. We are over 16 towns by the
way and so she is great at making sure we are staying within our miles
limitation. She is really helpful with helping me learn the area and the
people. She is great and is a really hard worker. She has found out some bad
news from home this past week and I know once again that I have gotten my new
companion because I need to be here for her just as we need each other. We are
doing great work here!
This week has been full of many
miracles! WE got new investigator contacted a lot of referrals, and had success
while tracting. It is so great and I mean great! I have never really liked
tracting but I can see the blessing and the blessing of God when we do the hard
things in the work.
Wednesday, we contacted a former
investigator family and right away the mom let us in and we talked. She brought
up the trinity and asked us for our church's view on it. She keep explaining it
to us but I just kept getting confused. We let into the book of Mormon and she
said she doesn't really believe Joseph Smith could have translated it because
there was no way he could translate the language it was in. He had to write
it. We have a lot of studying to do and how to explain it. She also
brought up that Christ literally is the "word." Again I was confused
and we have a lot to stuff. They are really interested in the Plan of Salvation
and are excited for us to come back after Christmas which give us some
time to prepare.
Thursday was one of those days that I felt
would never end. We were inside all day doing Weekly planning and then we had
dinner and went to the church and parked and then went Tracting! It was really
frustrating when no one was home and one we talked to wasn't very nice. We were
going back towards the church and we saw someone pull in to there garage and
someone sitting on the porch steps. WE decided to got talk to them. Which I am
so glad we did. WE got there and started talking to them, talked about
Christmas. We shared Ether 12:27. Which really opened them up to us. We were
getting ready to leave and left the Christmas video card and said it was all
from the bible in Luke 2. WE then started talking about the Bible and that lead
to the Book of Mormon the husband liked the idea that Christ came to us here in
the Americas. We plan to see them on Christmas and bring them a treat! Really I
saw God bless us with a miracle. We both had the faith and we both were being
diligent. We were scared but "WE can do hard things!"
Sunday was a great day too! We had choir
and got ready for our program. Luckily we were singing songs I already knew. In
Sacrament we sang hymn then in between we had talks all about Christmas. The
spirit was so great! And in Relief Society before we closed the sisters gave us
each a big bag that said "Let it snow" It was our Christmas from the
ward. It is pretty heavy and I am so tempted to open it! It was great to get it
and be so new to the Ward! I love this Ward and am so glad that I get to be
here for Christmas as much as I wanted to be in Cary! I am grateful that the Lord
knows me enough to know what I need!
So I hope everyone has a great and Merry
Christmas! To those who have kids on missions too! I hope you enjoy to see them
on Skype! I can't wait to see mine! Love you all! I hope that Christmas finds
you happy and full of the wonderful Christmas Spirit! Remember "The Reason
for the Season." Without whom Christmas wouldn't exist! Love you
all!
