Hello Family and great Friends!!!
This week was a great learning experience!! We met some seriously amazing people this week!! God is so good!!
So to start off I was with Elder Jarrett for a day and a half!! He was my old companion that was in the Trio with me! We were together because we hadn't gotten our new companions yet! We were walking around knocking on doors and this bus pulls up and a mom comes out of the house and greats her son and starts heading back into the house! So Elder Jarrett and I stopped her and talked to her! She is so prepared it's crazy!! She invited us back to teach and help her daughter who isn't a believer in God! She is going to have a church tour and should be coming to church!! But she is in Valrico with Elder Jarrett so I'm pretty jealous because that is not my area so I can't continue to teach her! But she is amazing and I'm excited to hear how it goes teaching her!
Elder Allen (my new companion) and I, met some amazing people this week as well!! I am so grateful for my amazing companion Elder Allen!! I love him a lot!! He is a super hard worker and loves the work!! We should be together for 2 transfers.
He and I met this older man. He had heard a little about the Book of Mormon but never read it! So we taught him a quick lesson on the Restoration and gave him a Book of Mormon to read! He loved it so much!! We then had another lesson with him and had him read 3 Nephi 11! We had another little lesson with him and he told us about his experience while reading and it was amazing!! He said when he read it felt like a door was opening and "I understood what it was saying and I was applying it to me!!" And he said, "I felt that love and peace that we were talking about!" It was so cool!!!! Elder Allen and I were so pumped!!!! We're excited to see him tomorrow as well!
This week I had some people try to tell me the only reason I believed in God was because It made me feel like I had a purpose and it made me feel good!! And I was like a HECK NO!!!! I looked this guy right in the eye and bore my testimony that I would never deny that there is a God and that he loves his children!! It didn't matter to him but I love sharing my testimony so I felt great!!!
I love our Heavenly Father!! He has a big influence in this world and loves every single one of us!!! Christ really does help us receive Joy and Happiness if we do His work!! The Holy Ghost is a big part in God's plan and helps God's work move forward!!! I have seen the HOoy Ghost touch the lives of people!!! I'm so grateful to be a missionary!!!
