Hello everyone!! This week has been really good!!
So this week we moved back into an apartment I've been in before. If you all remember Sister Boyden, she is literally my bestie for the resties!! She is so cute, we both are so happy to be back together. Can't even tell you how joyous our reunion was! And then transfers and me and Sister Snow are staying!!!!! Good times.
This week we had an amazing lesson with one of our friends, Hoon. We were doing a pass off lesson with some missionaries in Illinois, (shout out to you Sister Maloy and all the missionaries in your zone) and the Lord really gave us a true miracle. Me and Sister snow are so bad when it comes to time differences so we thought the lesson was at 7pm. The elders called us at 2:55pm and were like, so what is the lesson plan? The lesson is in 5 min. And both me and Sister snow were like, oh no!! We knew that we wanted to talk about our life on earth and had picked out a couple scriptures but hadn't really talked too much about it. So we were relying in the doctrinal sequence so much. We were teaching about his purpose and then the elders taught SO powerfully about repentance. Then I could tell all 4 of us felt prompted to invite him to be baptized. We turned to a scripture on 2 Nephi and talked about how to enter in the gate, we have to repent and be baptized, and that we'll receive a remission of our sins. That we'll be forgiven. The elders asked if that was something Hoon wanted and he said yes! I pulled up my calendar and we were thinking Feb 13 to help him prepare for that date, and then one of the elders (who is fire! He's only been out for 2 months, and the other elder has only been out for 6!) Invited him to be baptized on Feb 13! The spirit was so strong we were all sooooo happy. That was a true miracle. It was amazing and we were all just so happy!!
Then one more experience. We have this sweet friend Sheryle, and we taught her about the restoration and how these restored truths can apply to her. We taught her the plan of Salvation yesterday and the spirit was just so strong!!
I just love my mission so much! Other highlights include:
-our zone leaders. Ah we call them almost every day and just encourage each other. We seriously LOVE them!! I will include some pictures.
-an amazing lesson with our friend Ryan. The spirit was also so strong in that lesson
-we've been teaching free Chinese class and we made a new friend from that!
-one of our friends we made last week is really progressing!
Anyways, it was a good week.
The only pictures I have of this week is our zone leaders. We all say Elder Carson looks like Mall Cop
