| Sister Holmes for LIFE |
We
got two new incredible investigators this week! Their names are
Charline and Kerrol. Charline is from Haiti and she is amazing. When we
talked to her on campus she told us that she was looking for a church!
We met with her and had an incredible lesson on the Restoration of the
Gospel and invited her to say the closing prayer. It was a BEAUTIFUL
prayer, and so so sincere. We had the privilege of seeing her twice this
week, and she is coming to church tomorrow!!
Kerrol is also
super awesome. He and his twin sister go to FSU and he is just the
sweetest ever. We met him on a bench on campus, and he was so excited to
meet with us. We also had a very powerful lesson on the Restored Gospel,
and his prayer was incredible as well. We saw him twice too! The second
lesson we had with him, we invited him to pray to know if the Joseph
Smith was a true prophet and if the Book of Mormon was true, and in his
prayer he told Heavenly Father that he believed that all these things
were true, and hoped that they were. SO POWERFUL! It was amazing. We are
being SO blessed right now!
Antonio is also
progressing so quickly!! Tomorrow we are going to invite him to be
baptized on August 1st. I can't even explain how amazing our experience
has been with him. I know that I was sent here to Tallahassee to teach
him and be a part of his conversion! Pray for him!!
Yesterday
we were on exchanges with our Sister Training Leaders and it was quite
the miracle day. I learned a very powerful lesson on faith, and one that
I am eternally grateful for. Faith leads to miracles, and if you trust
in Heavenly Father, your life will be filled with them.
There
were a few times this week where I really thought I was going to die
and have to be scraped off of the cement. We were in the low 100's all
week, and boy. If there is one thing I have learned in this area it's
that I can do extremely hard things with the help of my Savior and
Heavenly Father. I seriously don't know how I made it home some days.
On
a more funny note... SOMEHOW I have gotten Sister Rindlisbacher to
trust me.. maybe a little TOO much. yes... She asked me to cut her hair.
hahaha you guys. The only experience with cutting hair I have is a
summer buzz on dad and hunter!!! She asked for a baby trim. That's not
too hard, right?! Nah. Let's just say, when she turned around to see how
much I had cut off, she about died of laughter. There were like 4 hairs
on the ground. hahaha I am not experienced, but it's better to be safe
than sorry! I ended up doing quite a nice job. ;) Ah, the missionary
life.
Today I want to end with this cute Mormon
message that just came out. how grateful I am that my parents knew that
the LITTLE things are what matters. I'm grateful for the time spent
individually with Mom and Dad to learn, and to love. I'm grateful for
all the things I have been taught, and I'm grateful that I have been
able to apply that on my mission.
My challenge to you is to remember the little moments, because those moments are what matter the most.
Love to all!!
Sister Holmes :)
