Hello Family,
So I am so excited to be
serving in Star Lake. There are so many people from all over the world
that live here. Let's not forget I have been truly blessed with a Cafe
Rio in my area!!! We stopped there last p-day and then later on in the
week a family in the ward had us over for dinner and we walked in and there
was Cafe Rio on the table. Miracles are real, haha. Sister McClellan is
my new companion and she is great - I love her!
This week
has been wonderful. Elder Dube from the Seventy and his wife visited the
mission. He led the training during zone conference and mission
leadership council. I learned so much from the spirit. Elder Dube is so
funny and has a powerful testimony. He taught us how to really teach
from the scriptures. It is so important to not just teach and then
support what I taught with scriptures but to really teach from them. I
also learned that if I want to be an effective leader I need to point
others to the Savior and be willing to serve them. My mission is not
about me it is about those I am serving. I have felt so much love for
the Sisters I am serving this transfer already. Heavenly Father has
helped me so much this week getting to know the area and taking on this
new responsibility. The Lord qualifies those whom he calls.
The
work in Star Lake is going well there are a couple investigators with
baptism dates and the ward is awesome! I have really worked hard this
week - every night I come home so exhausted!!!
We had Festival of Finding on Saturday
and I stayed in Star Lake all day. The night before I was praying so
hard to know where I should go since I didn't know the area very well
yet. I received the answer to look at the map in the living room (it is a
giant map of the area with all the members names and where they live)
in the morning to know which members we should find around. The next
morning I saw the name Scott. It was the Scotts that live in Buckley
that we were working with. They lived in Star Lake before Buckley. So
later that day we knocked in that neighborhood and found a family from
Cambodia that said we could come back along with a man named Roger that
was doing yard work at the Scott's old house. He was about to go in the
backyard before I yelled "Hi, how are you?" He walked down to the
sidewalk and we talked about the importance of family. He was super nice
and said we could come back and teach him more. So we found some
awesome potential investigators.
It really amazes me
at how the spirit works through Sister McClellan and I during planning.
Answers have just been flowing to us of where to be and what to teach.
Missionary work is so cool and there are so many miracles.
Much Love,
Sister Wynder
