Happy Father's Day DAD! I love you so much and I am so grateful to
have the best dad in the world. It's official, you're the best!
This week we were introduced to a new program in our mission. It's called a
"personal mission plan". Each set of missionaries is introducing and going to
use it with their members in their ward. So adding up the all the members in our
mission and calculating the active ones, that is 10,400 members that are going
to be working on this plan. It is really cool, a 4 step plan.
1. Brainstorm. make a list of everyone you know
2. select. prayerfully select 2-3 names
3. Act and invite. what you will do to help your friends know Jesus Christ
better
4. Repeat. repeat the process with the same or different friends.
I am so excited for the miracles that we will see from the members as they
reach out!
We are still working with J* and V*! We had a super cool lesson
with them about the Book of Mormon. I love being able to testify of the
truthfulness of the Book and how it can bless people's lives in so many ways!
That family is going through some hard challenges right now with their dad and
V* told us she probably isn't as interested anymore... That's okay though,
because when J* get's baptized, she will no doubt feel the spirit. We took
J* to the Mesa Temple visitors center last night and watched Joseph
smith-the prophet of the Restoration. It was super cool! She brought a friend,
L* who knew nothing about the church. Afterwards we talked about temples
and they both expressed how they want to go in so badly! They said on the way
home that being there felt like being Home and being in Heaven. It's amazing the
special spirit there that makes us all long to be there and long to be closer to
God.
We went on Exchanges this week, the new sister training leader in phoenix,
Hermana L*, came to my area. it was fun and very helpful. I learned a lot
about truly loving my investigators and members and companion. And being willing
to sacrifice my selfish desires in order to show that Love.
We are working with this super cool Lady named S*! She is a hard working
a faith filled mother of 6 kids. She has a ton of faith and really just wants to
follow Jesus Christ. I am excited for her and pray that she will have a desire
to progress in the gospel!
also something crazy- we came home for dinner one day and there were police
everywhere in our apartment complex and 2 helicopters circling it! It was crazy!
But don't worry, we are safe :) I love this work, I love Phoenix, I love the
Savior. Have a wonderful week!
