From Tuesday to Wednesday
we had our exchange with the head sister training leaders in
Tallahassee, Sister Stephens and Sister Baker, who just so happen to be
mine and Sister Saunders' previous companions, respectively! It was so
fun! Sister Stephens and I spent the day contacting at a park- we met a
guy named Jack who makes beautiful bread but the conversation was going
nowhere, so I asked, "Have you ever heard of the Bread of Life?" and
Sister Stephens did what she could to not laugh out loud. It was neat to
be with her again and see how much we have each changed for the better
and learned since being with each other. I was grateful to see her
again before she goes home in a couple weeks. Before heading home,
Sister Saunders and I got to see the Florida State Capitol building with
its unique red striped window shades.
Thursday
we mostly weekly planned, had dinner with the Vase family, and met a
less active member we hadn't met before, who was super nice. Friday
was Mission Leadership Conference, where all the zone leaders and
sister training leaders meet once a month to discuss the needs of the
mission and how we can all improve and hasten the work. I was kind of
nervous going in, but I prayed for courage to be myself and I was
blessed with it!
On Saturday,
we went on an exchange with the Fort Walton Beach 2nd ward sisters, so
Sister Saunders went there to be with Sister Trawick, my previous
companion, while Sister Ramadahr came to Crestview. While tracting, we
happened to meet a less active member who hasn't been to church in four
years, but also hasn't had anyone come by from the church in that time
(maybe his records haven't been moved). We also met his wife who isn't a
member, and their two kids. They were super kind and agreed to have us
come back! Miracle!
Another miracle was that
we went to try Quan and he was home! So we taught him the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. He is doing awesome! And on Sunday he came to church!!!!! The Tews just wrapped their arms around him, took him to the classes and such.
That was our week! Today
in Alma 48 I read about how pure Moroni's desires were. He truly
desired the safety and well-being of his people, their freedoms, to keep
God's commandments, and to resist iniquity. He had a "perfect
understanding," he gave thanks to God, and he was firm in the faith of
Christ. What an incredible man! It was these things that made him
humble and a willing instrument in God's hands. And it was these things
that lead to the verse saying that if all men were to be like Moroni,
Satan would be out of business. Wow! Not because he was perfect, because
he wasn't- but because he was obedient, humble, and willing to do all
that God asked him to the best of his ability. As we are obedient,
humble, and willing, God will work miracles through us as well. Love
y'all!
They sure do get around!
