Okay so I am going to write a very quick letter! As we don't have much time
but it has been a very great week!! I am loving serving here.
Alot of great
things have happened and I am going to do my best at explaining it
all!!
We have some amazing spiritual lessons this week!!
First
off all.... haha MY BLOG... so a new sister missionary came here and I was
paired up with her Weds night to street contact because Sis Keeler and I went to
the mission office where we greeted all the new missionaries, then went downtown
Halifax to work with them... and YES I saw Elder Gibb he is great definitely top
shelf of his group. He will be a huge asset to this mission I can already tell
def leadership skill there! But Sis Erickson and I were with one another and
before she came out she totally has been reading my blog!! haha crazy! And then
get this... so as you know we began teaching (Investigator couple) .... and
side note I just know I am here to be teaching them!! But (couple) came across my
blog and so they have been reading my novel of a blog!! haha like what the
heck!? My investigators have been reading about me talking about them and my end
of it hahah awkward but I think and hope it was strengthening for them to read
they seemed to be very touched by and and enjoy it!!
Also I got my own
personal facebook account this week! They are slowly allowing sisters to have
it, Sis K and I are with the first 6 sisters of the mission to have one! It is
amazing!! I am allowed to add everyone from my past areas that I have met... it
is for missionary purposes only and we have it set up where we don't see any
info of our friends news feed. It is so helpful in getting a hold of people and
setting up appointments but also re-lighting peoples interest in the gospel
people we have taught former gators or LAs, it was amazing to add the converts
and ppl from Charlottetown ect. When we make posts it is to inspire and spread
gospel messages to others - for them to see on their news feed ...! So NO you
can not add me! I will not add you! hehe Sister Huppe as already requested to be
friends but I won't accept :)
So this week wow we have had amazing
lessons with (investigator) it is amazing to see how the Lord has been softening
and preparing his heart to accept the gospel. He is a great guy and I know he
was a valient spirit in the pre existence and I feel so strongly that he will be
a huge asset to the church when he is a member, totally elders quorm pres
material. So we had a great lesson with (investiator couple and
mother/inlaw) Monday night. We decided to set up a appointment to come back
the next night with Pres Kidd so he could receive a priesthood blessing. Pres
Kidd has been a member for 15 years joined when he was 35. It was one of the
most Spiritual lessons of my mission!! ( I know I say that alot!) The monday
night before I new this lesson for the next would be soo crucial
for (investigator’s) progression that as soon as we got out I looked at Sis K
and said we are fasting so that nothing will get in the way of this lesson! We
both felt very strongly that we needed too so nothing would get in the way from
Satan tempting them to cancel the lesson etc.
So we came in and we
taught him, I don't even remember what we taught but it was amazing, the Spirit
directed all of our words which lead to and prepared (investigator) and Pres
Kidd for the priesthood blessing. It was amazing, (investigator) felt the spirit
so strong he said, he felt warm and just really great like fantastic! He laughed
and was just like wow I can't believe I am saying this but it is true i feel
great! Pres Kidd was able to point out that he would not experience these
feelings if the gospel wasn't true and hadn't been restored. At the end of the
lesson I felt prompted to testify and say something along the lines "that if
this gospel weren't true I would not have met you on my mission in Kentville,
you would not have just moved there i know it was apart of gods plan for me to
teach you, and now for me to be serving here teaching you (I was very emotional
it was intense. The spirit was so strong!) I told them we fasted because we
know this lesson was so important and we did not want anything to get in the way
of it happening.. I said something not exactly but like, “I know that if I feel
so strongly about you two and have such a strong desire for you to have the
blessings of the gospel in your life, I can not imagine how much Heavenly Father
feels. It was a tear dripper and we all just felt the spirit so strongly!
It
was a powerful lesson.
We had a powerful lesson with a new investigator we
taught with the elders. Sis K and I found him a month ago he was busy in playoffs with his kids but this past week he texted us and said they got gold and we
set up a appointment. We had planned to pass him over to the elders but after
the lesson we all felt we should continue teaching him. It was interesting
teaching with the elders because one elder taught the whole thing the other said
nothing. Sis keeler and I teach very unified with one another, it really is a
blessing and unique. We can just walk into a lesson and both feed off one
another but teach in a way that grabs the investigators attention and allows the
Spirit to witness truth. We told the elders we wanted to observe them teaching
to learn but we ended up jumping in and answering questions ... the Spirit was
so strong for the both of us and prompting us and it really resonated with
(Investigator). He is a single dad and hockey coach that is very involved with
his children, it was amazing lesson and we look forward to teaching him again.
We could tell he felt the Spirit as we testified and he wanted to learn more.
