OKAY wow I just don't even know where to begin!
Anyway this has been an amazing week and let me begin! I have so much to
share! First I will share with you my letter I sent to President,
OKAY so lets begin ( i think this will take a while I
am just bracing myself haha just doing a stretch... okay lets begin with the
typing!)
Erika is on date for October 25th and we started
teaching her this week on Monday actually. She is the most prepared investigator
ever! She was a referral from the Elders in Dartmouth, she met with them a
couple of times. I honestly feel like I’ve known Erika my whole life. We are
very similar in personality. She is 28 and has a 12 and 6 yr old son and her
husband is 30, he works 2 weeks out of town and 1 week home. We
will be teaching him this week. Erika is hilarious and knows this is true, it’s
great how much she already understands. She has started reading the BOM this
week. We had a wonderful lesson with her on Friday, where we just spent time in
the BOM and we extended a baptism commitment of Oct 25. She said yes with
tears in her eyes, then we closed with a kneeling prayer where she said it and
it was powerful moment where she again had tears in her eyes - spirit was just
pumping!
We picked up another investigator Melody who is
related to LA family we are teaching, she is 18 yrs old and has been brought up
in a really rough life style. She needs a change and we are hoping she will put
in the effort she needs to, for it to be able to turn around. We definitely know
that we are teaching her for a reason!
We had some great lessons with LA's.
Sister T and I have made sure that we aren't wasting are time with
LA's that aren't progressing this week and well we had some
interesting experiences with one LA lady in particular who actually yelled at
us, but oh well that comes with our calling!
We are still teaching Cecilia and Breton and their 4
children and they have started with baby steps by kneeling in prayer as a family
each night! It’s great!
So we started teaching Patrick this week, it was
great! He is sooo solid, he is from Jamaica. We taught him Weds and that
night he gave us his common law parents info to send to Jordan Bateman so he
can teach them in Jamaica. He is serving in that area right now.
It is nuts how mindful the Lord is of all of us and
how we all are connected. I never would of thought that I would be teaching
someone here and that Jordan would be teaching their family in Jamaica,
weird. Elder Prince and I are working together here in this area! How the 3 of
us are working together for the work of salvation! Building friendships for
eternities!! So we taught him and he wants to be baptized, and he lives
literally on a land mine of 60 jamacians that are all here for work! So we
taught Patrick last night and we had 3 of his friends attend the lesson and we
picked them all up as new investigators! It was SUCH a spirit filled lesson and
it was amazing! They will be giving us all their families info for us to send
to Jamaica as referrals for there as well! It was great and on thurs night the
Elders will be coming with us to this land to teach all these people, so we will
be teaching them left, right and centre and bringing the good news of the
restored gospel to everyone! They are all so prepared!
We had a great lesson with so many wonderful lessons
this week with great people and great potential! We taught a LA family that
opened us to a ton about how they feel and why they aren't active.
It is great the Bishops trust for us has gone up for us so much as
well!
We had hair cutting in the park this week as well,
it went well. We will be having it again this Saturday. We will
have the YW's activity this week as well where they will be bringing all their
friends. There was a ward corn boil on friday and another one today that we are
going to. It is a great opportunity for us to go to and get to know the
members.
It is great we are forming great relationships with
everyone here in this town, people know us through the booth and us talking to
everyone. We are trying this week to talk to as many people as possible like
EVERYONE and have a real conversation and have it stay normal and real with
still talking missionary work.
In a meeting Pres Leavitt the assistants and zone
leaders and dl's called us and asked us to recite to them the "How to begin
teachings" on pg 176 in PMG and Sis T and I were able to call off all 10 of
them. No one else they called could, it was funny. PL said he new the
Wolfville sisters would be able to.
On Saturday night Hope (a lady who has been attending
church for a while with members of the ward that are her friends)- that
missionaries have been trying to meet with) called us and told us she wants to
start meeting with us to be taught to the lessons to be a member of the church!
The missionaries have tried meeting with her in the past with no luch, haha we
were stoked! At church we really have made an effort to form a relationship with
her and get to know her, last week she opened up to me at church. She has
Parkisins
disease and is really sad because she teaches music and probably won't be able
to in two years. She has bad days and good days and I just love her so much! She
called and said that she feels comfortable with us and we set up a time for Sept
13 to start teaching her, we can't wait she is great!
Alissa
Harker is attending school here she is from AB and came to a lesson with us last
night. She is 23 yrs and is awesome and we can't wait to use her in lessons!
We had dinner at Sister Wilde's house last night who breads dogs and has NINE
dogsc it was nuts! haha .
It is an awesome time to be
a missionary!
This computer is really slow and I don’t have much
time to write I have so much excitement and amazing expierences I want to share,
but its hard to this time. So I hope you all can understand this
letter and how amazing this week has been!
This week has been very hard but well worth it!
Miracles happen all according and after the trial of our faith! I hope you all
have a great week and great time in greece! Happy to hear about Blake and Linds
house and Colby's baby blessing!
Remember to do the simple easy things daily read pray
study scrips, prayer at meals and fhe because that is our armor in this changing
world!
I LOVE YOU ALL
xoxox love
Sister Pizzey
