Member Missionary Work....works!!

This week was pretty good! Sister Booher and I are doing well. She is hilarious and I just love her!

 

We found 3 new investigators which made us really happy. Well I guess we actually re-found Joseph. We stopped by his house and he and his mother were there. It was actually kind of strange because he just acted like nothing had happened. His mother who is a former investigator seemed interested in talking again. So we were able to teach them and we are going to see them again this week. I hope it goes well. God works in mysterious ways.

 

 Then we also found this other lady whose name is Penny. She was a member referral. One of the members of the ward is pretty close friends with Penny. Penny didn't really want anything to do with Mormons the first time that she met this member. After they became friends she seemed to soften up a bit, but still wanted nothing to do with the missionaries. This member was finally able to get us over there because we offered that we could help Penny in her garden. So on Thursday we were able to go over and weed her garden and share a short message! It was really neat. Then on Sunday the member came up to us and said that Penny loved our message and thought that it was too short. We're going to go over again this week and share a longer message with Penny and her husband, and then help weed the yard some more. Serving others really softens their hearts! It was really amazing! 

 

We're seeing lots of miracles here! The members are doing some good missionary work as well! We have two families that have been bringing some friends to church that we're hoping to be able to meet with soon. We're really being blessed for trying to work closely with the members of the ward and doing our best to strengthen and uplift them. It's amazing because we really tried to counsel with the Lord on how He wanted us to help this area, and we felt impressed to try and work with the members more. As we've done so we've seen a lot of miracles and felt a lot more trust in the ward here. It's really cool to see how our prayers have been answered and how acting on promptings of the spirit brings blessings. I know that we'll keep seeing the work here increase. It's such a blessing to be a part of this great work. I was having kind of hard time this week seeing how the Lord has blessed us and seeing my importance as a missionary, but as I sat down to write about this week it all just kind of hit me. We truly have been blessed, and I can feel that there are more blessings coming. We just have to be patient, which is so hard sometimes! It is worth it though. 

 

I know that I am a daughter of God. We are all God's children. I know that Christ lives and that He is my Savior. I don't know where I'd be without that knowledge, but it certainly wouldn't be here and I wouldn't even be and inch of the person that I am now. I'm grateful this gospel and the blessings it has brought into my life. I'm grateful for my family, every single person. I love them so much! The gospel path is truly the path to a joyful life. Thanks for all of your support!

 

Love,

Sister Morrill
