I’m like
rejoicing right now I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY. That is all. I love you all SOOO
MUCH and I’m almost in tears right now with how happy I am and the love that is
filled in my body; love of life, love of being a missionary, love of my
Heavenly Father, love of the Holy Ghost, love of the AMAZING family I have. I
am sooo blessed and I love you guys so much!
So
MONDAY: We did contacting and finding
then we had an appointment with investigator and we showed this AMAZING temple video
and then we talked of the big one. WOW and it was amazing, it truly is
remarkable, the Spirit like ahhh I’m amazed! I say things and I’m just like
woahh this is not me talking and I can remember things and pull scriptures out
that just pop in my head and read them to help bring more understanding
(because the scriptures is the ultimate tool!) and she completely understood
and the spirit was soo strong! I love teaching with Sis Judd!
TUESDAY:
Was an amazing day! First have we had studies then district meeting. Our
district more than doubled, our key indicators from last week and we all are
doing amazing Elder Jarvis (our DL) told Sister J and I that 45 indicators
is un heard of for a biking area in our mission...! (Which we have every Tuesday
from 10-1 including lunch) Sister Judd and I got a priesthood blessing
from our DL Elder Jarvis and WOW that was amazing he doesnt even know me! and
the things said well were just amazing and that right there just confirmed my
testimony of priesthood! truly authority given from god to act and speak in his
name. After the meetings we switched and Sister Starkie and I served together I
was fasting that day because I was shaking in my boots about
(investigator) app! haha but it went awesome! First off (investigator) dad’s couldn’t
come and (blessing!) her mom was there who is equally if not more negative
against the church but she would allow us to actually speak. But to be honest I
couldn't tell you what I said but all I know was it wasn’t me, it was the
Spirit talking along with Sis Starkie and it went amazing! We helped
(investigator) out a lot and stumped her mom. As bad that sounds haha the
spirit was there so it was a good and bold! But Sister Starkie and I tore it
up! We got 3 new investigators that 24hrs picked up a LA and began teaching her.
Sis Starkie is awesome! I learned sooo much from her. Her brother I actually met in the MTC; he is
a teacher there. You can tell he was
amazing hard working missionary like Blake and she’s following in her bros
footsteps as well!.. We both said to one another lets brag to pres about how
well we get along and hope he gets the hint to have us serve with one another
one day ;). Sister Judd told me that in her letter from President;
Pres Leavitt said to her quote “Sis Starkie is a Sister Pizzey" lol.
So one of
the investigators Bob that Sis S and I picked up is hilarious! He is from China
and is soooo excited about this he came to church and was sooo excited about
his free BOM and how we teach him for free, his mind was blown away about it,
haha its hilarious. He came to church
and he left and slept on the coach during sacrament ... and then came to 2nd
and 3rd hour and loved it! haha he is a funny guy. and apparently in
priesthood when he introduced himself they said bobs an investigator something
like and asked if he would introduce himself.
He said" Hi I’m Bob and I’m actually a member because I want to be a
part of this and am going to be a member" and then everyone in priesthood
applauded and laughed !! haha.
So weds
and thurs were days that were tough filled of people cancelling appointments,
going to contact referrals and no one being home. It was hard days and I kept saying to Sister
Judd "Don’t worry the Lord is preparing us for something great! And the
adversary is trying to discourage us.”
It was very true because Friday and Saturday BOOM they were awesome!
Friday we
did weekly planning till 2 then we went to teach Bob that went good. All of
our investigators, all 13 of them there is only a grand total of TWO Canadians,
the rest are Chinese or African and Nepalese; so really I have been called to a
English speaking mission but sis judd and I feel it’s not. haha. Because of the
language barrier you really have to know how to teach with very SIMPLE language
and translate what their broken English is asking. We use the few words they know, to teach!
haha its awesome but through the spirit we can get by. Then We taught Vanessa Lee and she is from Taiwan
and boy oh boy language barrier with her is the toughest one! We got through it
- I mean she came to church Sunday!
Then Saturday!
Was amazing it was 11:45 am and we had gained a new LA and a new gator! Then we
got over to Bobs house because we had an appointment with his roommate and a
guy name H.Y. answered the door. I had
met him at his house a month ago and so we ended up teaching H.Y and Edmund and
got them as new investigators! They are two really smart guys and have a hard
time with faith, and knowing that as you pray and read scriptures it will
draw you nearer to God. But as they asked hard complex questions I was just
sticking to simple doctrine to answer them and it was amazing on how strongly
that brought the Spirit in and testifying! They were really interested from
then on. And H.Y. who is 3 yr physcology guy said point blank month
ago I will never believe in higher power looked me in the eye and said I’m
interested and willing to read and pray only because it really intrigues me
when you talk about this. I can see in
your eyes and the way you speak about it that you passionately know that what you’re
saying and teaching is true. Then we taught Joshua George and man Josh is a
stud! He is in 2 Nephi already and we have only taught him twice! He is from Nigeria
and he knows his bible! But he also is not a bible basher he truly wants to do
what HF wants him to do so he prays and read asks for the HG to be with him as
he reads BOM. He can see that it
compliments and testifies the same doctrine as the Bible does. He is praying
about Baptism and we had another member present at his lesson and he asked her
how she came to know this was true at the end of our lesson as well, so she got
to bear her testimony as well! He is upset because he had to work on the
Sabbath quote on quote from Joshua’s mouth - he just needs to work to make
money for his school courses but will come to church this week! It’s just time
for him with receiving a testimony and answers from God and he directed all his
questions to mormon.org
so had no questions this time!
This week
has been amazing! We biked through the trudging rain all day Saturday, but we
were busy and had sooo many places to be! Something amazing about biking and
rain and being a missionary- I can truly feel the spirit lift my soul and the
lord helps push me on my bike as we trudge up the hills. We also filled our
tires with air sat. And well that made a difference! haha I did not realize how
low in air the tires were until we filled them. Yesterday was awesome we
saw a Nepalese family walk past us and we were in the middle of talking
to a couple and I was itching watching them slowly move further and
further away from us. As soon as we were
done with that conversation I look at sis judd and was like did you see where
they went! And she was like ya they turned left- then we sped up and chased
them down! haha and picked them up and will be teaching them again this thurs
and well again quite a language barrier but just another day in the life as a
missionary in PEI ;)
It’s been
an amazing week! Thanks for sending a package with Irene. I love you all soooo
much and keep you in my prayers!
LOVE SISTER PIZZEY I keep you all in my prayers-
