This has
been such a great week. I have been called to train again. I was assigned to
train a sister Christophersen! She is already such an amazing missionary. I’m
honored to be the one to train her.
Sister
Christophersen is from Wyoming. She is super crafty and loves exercising. She
is hitting the ground running. I am learning a lot from her too. It has been a
lot of fun watching her learn and get the hang of missionary life. Just recently she has been learning how to
properly answer the phone. She gets so excited to answer calls now.
We have
been doing a lot of tracting this week. While going door-to-door we meet a pastor
of another faith. We talked to him and prayed with him. He accepted the book of
Mormon that he had just rejected right before the prayer. The Spirit was there
and that man’s heart was softened and he is now willing to read another testament
of Jesus Christ.
I had
been praying to find people to teach. We have had a couple of referrals from
the Church and met people on the street. The power of prayer is real!
We gave
a book of Mormon to a man who had requested one online. He wasn’t interested in
talking to us but he was excited to read. We are ok with that because we know that the
prophets of ancient America (like Nephi) can teach him.
I have
been studying the Book of Mormon a lot lately. While reading I got a powerful
but quiet feeling that the Book of Mormon is truly the word of God. That it is
true. I have never questioned it but now I know with a surety that it is true.
Aztec 2nd
ward is the best! There are lots of members who offer to come with us to
lessons. What a blessing! I suggest you help the missionaries in your area.
They will appreciate it so much.
There
is a lot of muddy country roads here. In some places we only walk so we don’t
get stuck. It’s fun to hike through the mud. One time while we were walking we
saw a truck drive by with a large German Sheppard chasing it down trying to get
at the dog inside the truck. The dog gave up the chase and turned straight to
us. We were both afraid. I said a quick prayer in my heart. The dog started
coming to us. For some reason I put my hand out for it to smell. The dog came
up to me. I began to pet the dog and he became uninterested in us. When he left
us Sister Christophersen put down a large rock she had picked up to defend
herself. God is definitely watching over us. Missions are so exciting.
I was
reading some old Ensigns and found some article that talk about Blanding Utah!
(My first area) They are titled “Sand and Stone” and “Faith to answer the call”
in the July 2011 Ensign. I even know some of the people who went on that trek
discussed in the article. Crazy Cool!
Thank
you everyone for all of the support. The Church Is True!
