dearly.
This week seemed like it was forever, yet it flew by! We had Zone Conference, we moved out of the grungy old elders apt into a much nicer new elders apt! We like it much more. We had some amazing miracle lessons!
We had a few lessons in the Doll's home with Fred. (p.s. The Dolls are so amazing. Sister Doll is so great, she has the cutest southern accent and she loves the missionaries. She is an awesome missionary herself!) Fred is truly searching for the truth. He has many deep questions. The first lesson, we taught the restoration and the spirit was so strong. He understood that the full and only gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth through the prophet Joseph Smith. It was really cool to see him make that connection. It justclicked, it was awesome. TOTALLY the spirit. I was choked up as I recited the first vision. The spirit just filled every bit of that room. He accepted the baptismal invite if he came to know the message was true. The second lesson, we invited him to prepare to be baptizedon July 1st, and after originally saying no, then pondering and thinking over how we set goals to work towards... we testified that we felt that God would answer his prayers by then and he could have an answer before July 1st. Fred accepted July 1st as a goal and date towork towards. COMPLETE MIRACLE. My heart was filled with so much gratitude that night I can't even put it into words. Alma 26 came to my mind that night as I was thinking over all the miracles God had blessed us with. So I read it that night and verses 1-12 just completely explained everything I was feeling! It described our whitewashing experience to a T. Thank you for the perfect description Ammon. Haha :)
I know that this gospel is true. This opportunity to serve the Lord for 18 months has been the greatest adventure of my life. I have truly grown in ways I can't explain. I hope to continue to grow and become better day by day. I have learned So much about myself... I thought Iknew myself before my mission. HA yeah not really. I truly know now what the Restoration of the gospel really means and why it's so important. I know now much better what charity is and why it is so important to have. I have come to learn that we are all loved by God, no matter who we are or what faith or religion we belong to. We are all children of our Heavenly Father and He wants us to return back to Him. I am eternally grateful for the plan He has provided, to allow us to return back to Him, All made possible through the Atonement of HisSon, Jesus Christ. It's all so beautiful to me; I just love it so much.
I hope y'all enjoy the sunshine! And know how much God loves you. And SMILE! :)
