Once again, it was another wonderful week full of so many tender mercies AND COOLER WEATHER! I feel so spoiled.
Labor
Day was interesting... there were ZERO people on campus! It was brutal.
We were the only two souls on TCC. haha but it ended up being a good
day :) We were able to see Dena Monday night though, and once again.
Another INCREDIBLE lesson. We set a baptismal date with her, and we are
SO EXCITED! Heavenly Father is working miracles in that family. So many
miracles. I am extremely humbled and grateful that He's letting me
witness it.
Tuesday we had lots of cancelled
appointments, and lots of contacting, and we ended up getting a few new
investigators that are super awesome!
Wednesday
we got to go back to Crestview for MLC. It's always SO spiritually
uplifting and fun. I am SUPER excited because our mission is the first
in the United States to implement a new form of work! It's only been
done in the Philippines, and they had a ton of success. When Elder
Stanfil and Elder Nelson came and toured our mission, they left
President and Sister Smith with a huge prompting for the mission. Elder
Nelson said that he had never before been prompted to implement this in
the United States, but is super excited to see the outcome. We will now
be focusing on less active/ inactive members more than finding new
investigators. Our goal is to strengthen the church here in the south
and help them become unified and strong. I am SO excited about this. The
way it was presented was incredible, and the spirit definitely let me
know that this is what's going to unlock the south!
Thursday
we were blessed to teach lessons ALL day. It was a miracle!! I can't
even express how grateful I was for that. The things we taught were so
strong, and the spirit was with us all day. Huge blessing!!
I
went on an exchange with cute Sister Lawrence serving on FSU and that
was super fun! She is a sweetheart. We were able to teach someone on the
spot on TCC campus, and he was super interested became a new
investigator! It was AWESOME!!!
We got to
share the gospel with so many people this week, and my testimony grew so
much. I have SUCH a strong testimony of diligence and patience.
Heavenly Father is super aware of each one of us!!!
I don't have anything else super exciting, but man. it was SUCH a great week!!!
Elder Bruce R. McConkie said,
"I
think that people who study the scriptures get a dimension to their
life that nobody else gets and that can't be gained in any way except by
studying the scriptures... There's an increase in faith and a desire to
do what's right and a feeling of inspiration and understanding that
comes to people who study the gospel--meaning particularly the Standard
Works--and who ponder the principles, that can't come in any other way."
I
love you all so much, and hope that you study the scriptures and apply
the teachings into your life. They will forever bless you and your
family!
LOVE YOU!
Sister Holmes :)
