HELLO !
WHAT A WEEK!!! So many changes all at once. Sometimes it is
hard to take it all in but that is exactly why we have the Gospel and have a
Savior. I can tell you that this week
has brought me closer to my Savior which I am so grateful for. Monday, we had a lot of fun as it was our last day as
the original sister missionary trio here in Bishop. Then we woke up at 4 am to get ready for our
trip down to transfer meetings in Bakersfield. It is about a 4 hour drive and we had to be
there at 9:30 AM so we left about 5. It was a very early morning but a lot of
fun. Sister Wilkin is now serving in South Bakersfield. And we have a new
sister from McCammon, Idaho!!! Idaho is the best!! She is fresh from the MTC
but certainly doesn't seem like it. She is very in tune with the spirit and has
a wonderful desire to serve the Lord. We are excited to have her here.
We weren't able to
meet with a lot of our investigators this week, due to a lot of illnesses,
which was kind of sad and affected our church attendance this week but we did
have a few less-actives at church which was awesome!!!!
This week is very
full of people to visit and trainings and meetings with our investigators. I
probably have mentioned before that our mission has a goal of 50 baptisms in
the month of March and that means that Feb. has to be hit hard with finding,
teaching, and committing so that we can be ready for that!!! We already have a
couple of very promising investigators and we are just praying that the Lord
will keep softening their hearts and bring them closer to baptism. We are seeing
miracles.
This week, I have
been very aware of the tender mercies of the Lord and the Love that he has for
me personally. Which honestly has been much needed. Change is not easy and
never will be, but change comes regardless of whether we have the Gospel or
not. I am so grateful for the Gospel and the Peace that it can bring to us
during trials. I am very grateful for the priesthood. The power of God is real
and I can feel it every time I receive a blessing. Heavenly Father's love for
us is eternal and never ended and I am so grateful for that Love. That is why
He wants to bless us so much and bring us peace. As we stay faithful and serve
and keep the Commandments, He blesses us more and more. The Savior lives and
loves us as well. He is the only one that understands what we go through and
what we can become. It is through His atonement that we are made whole and
complete and I am forever in His Debt. I love you all and thank you so much for
all your prayers! I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!! Love, Sister Haws
