So this week was another great one! We had miracles! Heather,
whom we just started teaching last week and has a baptismal date for the end of
the month, bore her testimony yesterday! It was so powerful! She said she has decided
to stop fighting Jesus and let Him into her life. She expressed how much
happier and at peace she is. Her little boy is very cute! The other day when we
got up to leave after our lesson he started crying. He saw us grab our bags and
started crying. Heather had opened the door but he pushed it shut and continued
crying. It was the sweetest thing ever! We love them!
This past week we had a sister’s conference/training. It was
very good! Sister Alba talked about stepping into the light and "taking
our place on the stage of life." It was so fun being together as sisters. Sister
Thomas and I were asked to give a workshop about nutrition. We had so much
fun!!! The two of us just love it! Sister Thomas has a degree in exercise and
sports science with a minor in nutrition. Soooo we get along really well. :) We
had so much fun preparing for our workshop. We brought basically all our food
to show the sister what they could eat. We learned so much! I know the Word of Wisdom is not just for
our physical health it is for our spiritual health. When our bodies are clean
and don’t have bad substances in them or junk food or too much of one thing we
have the Spirit more abundantly. We have noticed within ourselves that we are
even more sensitive to the Spirit. We are better able to receive, recognize and
follow the promptings of the Spirit. We are happier, less stressed, and little
things don't bug us as much. We are more able to see the miracles in each day. It
is amazing! I love the gospel!!!!
We have so many less-actives coming back to church and going
to the temple!!! It is so exciting! Yesterday the chapel was pretty full. When I
first got here there weren't very many coming each week. Now we have increase,
a little. It is so cool!!! The Branch is growing! :) We have members returning
and new ones coming in. I love seeing the work of the Lord progress. It makes
me so happy!!!
Transfers are next week so who knows what will happen. Hoping
we'll stay together. Crossing our fingers. :)
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
