Good Afternoon Family and Friends(you might as well be called family too!),
What
an awesome week! Missionary work is so awesome! I really wouldn't want
to be anywhere else right now! My week in a glance...
~
Awesome lesson with a part member family we are teaching. We were
talking about the past lesson we had with them and asked them if they
had any questions. It made me feel so needed, and know that I am in
Auburn for her, when she said "I didn't understand my prayers being
answered until you talked about it with me last time, I not am realizing
that my prayers are being answered." Sometimes this "Hicktown farm
girls talk"(Sis. Vakapuna) can get to people.
~We were able
to go to the Family History Center with R, a recent convert, and
start her on her family history. I have really come to love family
history on my mission. I also did some more work on D's family
history and found some more names to take to the temple. Although he
wasn't all the way there when I told him, he was excited.
~Lot's of Service this week. Care Center, Cleaned some house, and cut potatoes to be planted for a farmer.
~R,
our Recent Convert, is doing awesome! We were able to have a FHE with
her this week and it went great. She has such an amazing testimony.
~Zone
Conference this week was awesome! It was all about becoming converted
unto the Lord. If you have some time...or make time:) here are some
awesome talks to look up and read. "Converted unto the Lord by Elder
David A. Bednar" and "Be Ye Converted by Bonnie L. Oscarson". We also
got news that our mission is having a temple day all together. I am so
excited for that.
~The past few weeks we have been teaching
D the lessons. He is our old ward mission leaders son. Him and his 3
siblings were adopted from Ukraine 2 years ago. It has been so fun
getting him ready for his baptism. He really digs right in and loves the
gospel. I wish I would have been like that! Last week we met with him
right before his interview and he was so excited because he knew all the
questions. At the baptism Bishop said "D came into my office for the
interview, ran in, sat on the chair, and said "I'm ready Bishop I know
all the answers! The sisters just told me everything!" Haha! Our kid
passed the test!
It's been a wonderful week! I love this work! Thank you all for your wonderful examples!
Love,
Sister Reber
