Hi Family,
So here is a recap of the week:
So
Sister Peterson is my new companion. She is from Eastern Washington and
this is her last transfer. She isn't trunky at all and wants to work so
hard her last transfer - such a blessing.
Tuesday
night we were tracting and met these four 9 yr. olds who were asking us
questions and asking if they could have a bible. We taught them also
about the Book of Mormon and gave them pass-along cards to show their
parents. It is amazing how close children are to the Spirit. I have had
so many experience where children know who we are and want their parents
to listen to us. Little kids just know!
Wednesday
we had district meeting, and I also needed to plan out exchanges this
week. I was feeling a little overwhelmed with taking over the area,
transfers, exchanges, etc. So that night I got a blessing from our
district leader and it helped so much. I know the power of the
priesthood is real. Heavenly Father has helped me so much this week.
After the blessing we went tracting and we met a man named Gib. As we
talked to him we discovered that he had a friend who is a member that
gave him a Book of Mormon about 20 years ago. Gib read the whole Book of
Mormon and told us he knows it is true! SAY WHAAATTT?! That has never
happened before. At the end of the contact the spirit was prompting me
to invite him to baptism. Right when I was about to his neighbor drove
by and started talking to Gib. Satan is so real and was trying to
distract Gib. However, after talking with his neighbor Gib focused right
back into our conversation. I invited him to be baptized and he said
yes! It was the coolest feeling ever. WHAT A MIRACLE!!! He also told us
that after talking with us he had a desire to start reading the Book of
Mormon again. We texted him a couple days later and he said he is
reading 1 Nephi right now!!! I am so grateful Heavenly Father led us to
Gib!
We taught Khoa this week. The language
barrier is still a challenge but he was able to understand why we pray
and that we can live with God again after we die. The Spirit taught Khoa
and testified what we were teaching was true!
Since
I have been in Star Lake we have been working with a less active. She
has health problems that prevent her from coming to church. We have
talked to her about the temple. She has such a desire to come to church
and go to the temple.
Sunday
morning we were walking out to the car and we saw one of our neighbors
trying to push her car into a parking stall. We asked if we could help and
she told us she was fine but we could tell she really needed it. So we
were trying to help her start her car. Neither of us had jumper cables
so we pushed her car over to the side so it wouldn't be in the middle of
the road. After we started pushing it the car almost started. So we
tried pushing it again (the whole time I am praying) and it started.
Heavenly Father answered our prayers and helped us get to church in
record time so we wouldn't be late. At church the less active came. She
hasn't been to church in 2 years! It was a miracle. She received a blessing and is now enrolled in temple prep! What a blessing!
The
youth challenge has been going well. The youth have been sharing their
experiences with us about how they shared the gospel this week using
social media. For many of them it led to their friends asking them about
the Plan of Salvation. The youth used doctrinal mastery scriptures to
teach them more. It was so cool to hear about how they shared the
gospel. It helped me see that this youth challenge was truly inspired by
Heavenly Father!
I am so grateful to be part
of these miracles and see the hand of the Lord lead and guide this
work. Being a missionary is hard but the best thing ever!!!
Hope you all have a great week.
Much Love,
Sister Wynder
