Every week is a good week...and this week was no exception!!
We were able to teach our two elderly women investigators
and they are just great!! It is hard for people who have grown up in a religion
to change and accept something different, but they are both trying so hard to
understand and know for themselves what God wants them to do!
Angela, one of these investigators surprised us by having
her 19 year old niece there when we showed up for our lesson #dreams
We were originally going to teach the plan of salvation,
but, Angela hadn't read from the Book of Mormon since the last time we had
taught her so instead we read where she is at in the BOM. Before we could
even start to explain the Book of Mormon to Meg (her niece) Angela started to
teach her the restoration using terms like "apostasy and priesthood"
and she really emphasised how our church was RESTORED "not like the other
churches where man just changes things" It was AMAZING!! She really knows
her stuff! The lesson was so great! We are excited to go back to Angela's this
week and see if Meg comes again. We invited her but she wasn't sure if
she would be able to make it! So pray for Meg pretty please!!(:
Aelia is on date for November 5th, which will be next
transfer...so maybe I'll just stay in Newfoundland again?? That would be a
really long time for one area, but I just love everything about this place so
much I could serve my whole mission here and be completely happy!!
We had our exchanges this week, so we traveled up to Gander
for that! I got to do a familysearch booth at a craft fair there! Soooo fun!!
We use family history as a way to find people to teach (: Sister Olsen (my
sister training leader who I was on the exchange with) and I had a wonderful
exchange together!! LOVE HER!
Happy thanksgiving by the way!!! Today is canadian
thanksgiving! So yesterday we ate thanksgiving supper with two families in the
branch and then today we are being fed at noon by Lori and then again at 5:30
by the Wickhams! 3 Thanksgivings, 2 days, I am living the dream people!!
Its constant smiles around here, I love being a missionary
