Hello, hello, hello!
This week was great. First week of the transfer! My new companions are great! Elder Thornton and Elder Hershey. Both are from Northern California. Elder Hershey is my zone leader companion and has been out for a little over a year. Elder Thornton just got done being trained and is a stellar missionary.
The past couple weeks have been a struggle with finding people who will commit to meet with us. We have been teaching Gladston and he is progressing really well, he should be baptized soon! But other than that we have had a teaching puddle. Put this week we found some solid people! A family of 5! The Mathews family... and a couple single mothers. It’s been a great week!
The Mathews family: first day of the transfer was pouring rain and we had no appointments. As we continued to push through and knock and talk with everyone, we found Tony, Sister Mathews. We had a great 30 minute restoration talk. She loved it and invited us back. Our return appointment her husband was there and we taught them together for a few minutes. But mainly spoke about the power of the Holy Ghost and she recognized as she read the chapter we left behind for her! We went back Saturday and taught them the restoration again and Tony said the closing prayer and told us through prayer that she had prayed us to her door. Their family is really struggling and are excited to be baptized unto Christ's church already! Huge miracle!
The other single mothers we found are really progressing as well. One of them is named Bobby Jo. We found her last Sunday and she expressed the desire to come closer to Christ and find her faith again. Some really cool experiences! In all we found 7 new people and they are all really solid. I’m excited for the things god has in store for this area this transfer!
This week will be a busy week for us! We have zone meeting, stake correlation and 2 exchanges. I’m really excited! Wish me luck!
Yea, and they did obey and observe to perform every word of command with exactness; yea, and even according to their faith it was done unto them; and I did remember the words which they said unto me that their mothers had taught them.
The stripling warriors are the perfect example of obedience. I love being obedient and seeing the blessings that come from doing so. It is essential for the lord's work. It’s the first law of heaven! Miracles come from exact obedience.
Love,
Elder Judy
