Hello! January 13th 2014
It has been
another wonderful week! Last Monday for p-day we went up the Mammoth and it was
so beautiful up there! Tuesday we had exchanges with the Sister Training
Leaders and they were really good. One
of them actually got sick when they got here so she slept most of the day to
get feeling better. So The other one
took a couple of us out and worked and went to appointments and we had some
really great appointments too. We meet with 3 of our investigators that day and
all the lessons were so spiritual and just amazing. One of them was our family
that we are teaching and we watched the Restoration DVD and talked about prayer
and how to receive an answer. The dad
afterwards said, I really want to get an answer. We thought that that was really cool. We also
taught the 13 year old girl who is an atheist and had a great lesson on Agency
and the Love of God and how we can know that God is there through prayer.
The next day we
did service for a less-active member who is coming back to church and then we
headed for Lancaster. We had a Zone conference on Thursday and since it is
about 4 hours away, we drove down Wednesday. We got to see 2 of our old
District leaders while we were there and the great thing was I also got to see
one of the guys that I taught who got baptized a couple of months ago !!! He is doing really well and loving the Gospel
and the Church.
The Zone conference
was amazing and very inspiring. Our mission President has set a goal of 50
Baptisms in March, and so to reach this each night at 10 pm, we are praying as
a mission for the powers of Heaven to come and help us reach this Goal. And we
are fasting for this purpose the next 3 fast Sundays! It is really exciting
when you think about it and this area is picking up so fast and we are finding
more and more people interested in learning and really catching on. I love
being a missionary there is so much going on and seeing all the Miracles
happening.
Friday and Saturday,
Sister Kimball got super sick so we were inside for most of the day letting her
rest and get better. But we had lots of good bonding time and studying time and
we even painted for a while. You kind of go crazy when you are inside for that
long as a missionary ! So we took it out
with Painting! :)
Sunday was really
good! Our family we are teaching came to church again and they loved Church.
They are so different now after hearing the lessons and the spirit is so strong
around them and I know they will and are being so blessed because of the
Gospel. We also had a couple of lessons with Less-actives that went really
well. Then we planned for the Book of
Mormon class we are starting up this week that we are really excited about! Overall it was a very good week full of
miracles. I know the Lord hears and answers our prayers and He loves us more
than we can comprehend. He is real. I know he is. I am so grateful for the
Gospel in my life and the difference it makes in the world we live in. Keep
pressing forward no matter how hard things get. The Lord is there and we just
have to put complete trust in Him, He will never lead us astray. Love, Sister
Haws
