This week was great! I’m loving Niagara Falls and the people. I missed Buffalo:)
This week was like any other week of the mission, did lots of finding. And found 11 new investigators! And a couple of those people have already been put on baptismal date and are excited to start progressing in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ! What a beautiful thing.
Jeannie is doing good, she had a rough week with her husband... he is inactive member and no longer believes in god. And he was telling her if she wants to be baptized her would divorce her... and of course that is not our mission... we don’t want to split families. We want them together for all eternity! So we did lots of praying and fasting this week for her. And now they have moved back together and are currently in Lake Tahoe on a vacation. HUGE MIRACLE! God answers prayers. :)
Another wonderful thing that happens this week, while tracting one night I got a very strong prompting to go to an apartment building we had just walked by and knocked on a door. As we went in and started knocking no one was answering and I was starting to second guess myself... then we knocked on apartment 5 and as he opened the door I felt the spirit and knew that it was going to be good. As we talked with Dwayne he let us right in and we began to teach the restoration to him. He stopped us and said he has been praying for guidance from god and knew we were an answer to his prayers. He was in awe of the restoration and is excited to be baptized in the coming months. We met with him Sunday and he had read the Book of Mormon and believes it’s of god! Dwayne is awesome and a blessing to me and my life. I know the spirit of god is the only thing that matters in this work. And sometimes I feel as if I’m not worthy enough to receive its guidance. But aren’t we all? King Benjamin puts it best in Mosiah 2, We are all “beggars”
I can’t describe or explain to you how excited I am for this week and weekend! This week we can commemorate the life of Jesus Christ. Starting with his triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and ending with his Atonement, Crucifixion, and Resurrection. One thing I did last year to make this week more memorable and to think of the savior each day, I read the story that had to do with the certain day. Today would be the day of cleansing the temple. I invite you to read the story and choose some things that are in your “temple” and cleanse them out. I plan on doing the same today!:)
3 Nephi 17:3 says something along the lines of “prepare your minds for the morrow.” I also invite you to prepare now for the special opportunity we have to hear from a prophet of god and Christ's apostles! I know this church is true with all my heart!
Love you all so very much!
Elder Judy
