I am
so grateful that heavenly father has a divine plan, and I really can
trust his decisions most (transfers) and will continue to seek spirits
guidance in all decisions. But I love this New Rochelle ward so much-- I
wouldn't mind staying here forever! They are wonderful and the work is
going so well. So blessed to be a part of these good members/
investigators lives.
We watched "Remembering
your missionary purpose : Robles family." at FHE with our member an
investigators family. A cried and said it was such a special moment and
wants that for her family (temple sealing and baptism). Sister s husband
will come back June or July and they will work to be sealed then.
We
love allowing the Book of Mormon to do the teaching. The Spirit is
always there, and our investigators and members get so much out of it.
It
is amazing how this family's hearts have been prepared. Ever since we
knocked on her door in the split and through inspired questions were
able to learn that she met with missionaries 15 years ago before she was
married. Now her husband happens to be a member (she did not know until
we asked him to join our lesson). A's husband's family/ inactive mother
is living in los Angeles and we talked to her on the phone and told her
we knew god loved her and missionaries would be happy to do service for
her/ meet her anytime. E grew up in Queens and went to young men's
because he was baptized when he was 8 or 9! He is now in the discussions
with us with A and her children. We read 3 Nephi 18:19-21 and he read
it a second time because they loved it so much. "It is so true." They
want to have an eternal family and go to the temple. He said he would
get March 24th and 25th off for Matai birthday and church and April 22
off for A's baptism. We asked him as the head of the household to offer a
kneeling closing prayer; it was very special! A said she loves that the
Mormon members actually follow Christ's teachings in doing good and
service and loving each other without judging. She loves that.
We
also visited a couple sweet young women and got to know them better (we
brought them ice cream and shared scriptures). It was amazing and one
of the mothers teared up as she shared thoughts on the scripture we
shared. The mother of the other young woman had such a huge smile on her
face. We are so blessed to know and have such a deep love for these
sweet members.
.............................. .....
Where Heavenly Father has me to go will absolutely be the best option, and there I will go.
I
love my sweet sweet companion so much. She is so sweet and adorable and
caring and genuine and a loving, great teacher. She's doing well.
Scriptures I loved this week.
John 14:27 Peace.
Mosiah
24:13-15. Strengthened. He will ease our burdens, even if it is not the
timing and way that we expect. Will strengthen us.
2 Nephi
9!!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing. This whole chapter brought me a lot of
joy, just realizing the big picture of it all. We are free to choose.
This plan is given for us, because of their love for us. So it seems so
simple. They know the way that brings happiness and the way that allows
us to receive exaltation and eternal life with our families. They've
provided so much for us as guidance and help. So grateful.
Reading
the BofM remembering joy. So much good in there already between
spiritual experiences and methods and gratitude (marked and written in
my scriptures). !! I will continue to do so. A promise that every time I
open the pages I will feel God's love! It truly does help me to see
good and find peace. Thankful.
