This week I was sad to see Sister Saunders go- she and I became such good friends while we were companions and I miss her so much- but wow did she and her trainee seem perfect for each other! They even look alike!
My new companion is Sister Crosby! She is from American Fork, Utah and has been out for a year, this Thursday. She is a diligent, happy missionary who has already been a blessing to me and the area. I am grateful for her new eyes for the work in Crestview. We are both striving to have a vision together of finding, teaching, and baptizing the elect in this area. God really does want us to find those who are prepared to follow Jesus Christ! He wants us His missionaries to participate not just once, but again and again in the miracle of bringing souls unto Christ through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have made the decision to choose to believe in this true principle! We are doing our best to implement the principles we have learned the past month and a half to become more effective missionaries.
Sister Saunders and I had recently talked about dropping our investigator Quan, and going to his next lesson with Sister Crosby confirmed that that is what needs to take place. He has been lying to us about reading the Book of Mormon and he did not come to church...The Book of Mormon is really the deal maker or breaker! Our investigator Angelica has been reading the Book of Mormon, but not daily and not whole heartedly. So we had a whole lesson about the Book of Mormon and want to do all we can to help her have a spiritual experience with it. We contacted several potential investigators in our GPS and filtered them out as they were not searchers of truth. It's actually not that difficult to tell who is truly a searcher and who is not! (with the help of the Spirit, of course). :) But we have a new investigator who lives in the home of a former, and another former who still lives in another home is also a new investigator. We're already finding success in the principles we've been taught!
I love you all! More next week! :)
