Friends and family!!
What a week it has been!! I feel like I was just sitting at
the computer writing you last week! ha! funny how weeks can go by so fast! This
week has been great! My testimony continues to be strengthened and increased
each and every day! We had our Zone training
this week and it was really awesome. Our
zone leaders did their training on how we can use the book of Mormon to answer
the everyday issues that people have. It
was really cool as we practiced this to see that it totally dose work. One of the biggest objections that we face is
that we believe that God still speaks to us through a living prophet. As I studied the into page to the book of
Mormon I loved what was stated in the last two paragraphs: it talks about as we
read, ponder and pray we can come to know of the truthfulness of the book as
well as the knowledge that Joseph Smith is a prophet called of God...how
powerful is this!! As we come to know this then, we also know that since the
time of Joseph Smith there has been a living prophet on the earth!! How
coolbeans is this!! I know that it’s true and that the Book of Mormon is true!
It is such a great book! I love it!!
We also taught some great lessons this week to our awesome
investigators!! Heavenly Father has blessed Sister Reber and I with some
amazing people to work with and to learn from! one lesson we had was with
Sister M. We were teaching the plan of
salvation and we were telling her about the pre-earth life. We testified to her that she was a daughter
of God and that he loved her!! Her face lite up!!! She told us that she didn't
know that before!! We totally share with her an idea that she had never heard
before!!! it was crazy the feeling that came in the room! the spirit was there
and totally testified to all of us that we truly are sons and daughters of a
Loving Heavenly Father and that he loves each of us!
We also taught Sister K...we were talking about the book of Mormon
and she was telling us about what she had been reading over the past week...it
was cool to see how much she was learning and understanding..she told us about
how before when she was investigating the church she would read and think that
the book had to of been made up because it was so predictable..she then said
that as she had been reading as of late, she felt that it was predictable
because it was true..she said that as she has been reading, she is coming to
think that the book is really from God and that it is true! BIG STEPS!! it was
awesome to hear all that she is understands and the progress she is making!! Heavenly
Father has totally prepared her to hear our message at THIS time. Teaching her has totally been such a cool
experience because I have learned so much from her. She has taught me that timing is key when it
comes to learning truth...heavenly father teaches us when we are ready and he
will revel info as we diligently read, ponder and pray! We also did some
service for sister K this week. she has
horse and we helped her brush them....this was something I had NEVER done
before...I’m not really the animal type and I’m not gunna lie the hole time I kept
thinking that the horse was gunna try to eat me! It didn't and I was able to
learn how to brush the horse and clean its feet! Who would have thought that
horses have so much HAIR!! by the time we were done you could have made like 3
sweaters out of the hair that covered the ground and ourselves!!!
General Conference was so awesome! I love the spirit of the
meetings!! I love hearing the talks and I’m not gunna lie, I’m super excited to
read them again! I think that is when I get the most out of conference is when
I get the talks in my hand and I’ll be able to study them! I loved President Monson's talk on Charity and
how we all need to speak kind words to each other! I also love Elder
Christofferson's talk on the Resurrection..it was super powerful and totally
fitting this time of year! I also loved Elder Ballard's talk!! it was so RM
like!! it makes me laugh to hear from past companions and others who have just
gone home because they totally apply missionary talk to dating and what not and
so hearing his talk about following up make me laugh cause it was so how RM's
talk and think about things!! But ya! conference was great!!
So, it totally snowed again this week!! like a couple inches
of snow...it’s like APRIL!!! What world do I live in where it snows in
April...oh that’s right! I’m in Minnesota where it snows!! hahah you would
think that I was used to it!!!
Well, thanks for all the love and support!! I love and miss
you all!!!
