July 16,2018 Referral Party

This week was super. We were able to get a lot done and have a really spirit filled happy week. This past week was transfers. We had to go to transfers to pick up a key because we are now sharing a car with the sisters in our ward. We took their car down and picked up the key. I got to see a lot of old time Missionaries and members which was super fun. We went to Whataburger after with the elders from Gainesville and had a good time with them.

A big miracle that happened this past week was we get a lot of referrals. I think we got a total of 4 and 3 of the 4 were made new investigators this past week. It was super cool to see how the Lord will make a way for us to accomplish his work. He knows what our needs are and I know that this is not our work but the Lords. 

 

One of our investigators, Patricia has come to church 2 weeks in a row and we set a baptism date with her for the 18th of August. She is an awesome person and she really does care and put in the work. She is shy and doesn't really think too much out loud but she will write her testimony and it is so powerful and so sincere. She is so elect and awesome! 

 

We are also teaching a guy named Roger. He has taken all the Missionary discussions before and felt pressured into baptism. We are trying to teach him at a slower pace and really help him gain a testimony. It has been a great experience to teach in that way. We have had numerous opportunities to share our experiences and testimony with him as well as be a part of his own spiritual experiences. His wife suffered from PTSD and we have been able to help her as well. She has a super strong testimony and is always willing to share with her husband about the importance of the Gospel to her. 

Last of all, this week we were able to give 4 priesthood blessings. I love priesthood blessings and know there is so much power in receiving a blessings. Each time I have taken part in blessings someone, I feel the spirit stronger, I feel a greater love and a deeper gratitude for my Father in Heaven as well as the person being blessed. I really love the focus from this weeks church lesson on small and simple things. By small and simple things are great things brought to pass. We all need to work on the small and simple things in our lives and continue to do all we can to grow each day and become more like our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ. 

 

I love you all and hope your weeks are all amazing. This is our time to prepare to meet our Savior and God. I hope you all will continue to turn to Christ in all you do! Love ya!!!!
