We were able to teach Shirley the first discussion this week! We had a member come with us and it went awesome. Shirley cried when she read Moroni 10! She is so prepared!!! Also, as we were doing her family history we found out that some of her ancestors temple work has been done. It was completed in the Manti temple in 1914! Isn't that amazing?? All of these wonderful things came from us knocking on her door! God is good!
We
had a Daniel and the Lion’s Den experience this week haha!! We were trying to
contact a part member family in our ward who no one knew about. We get to
their house and it’s like surrounded by a big fence with "BEWARE OF
DOGS" signs. Y’all know how much I hate big dogs haha. Anyways
we traveled so far to get to the house and weren't about to just turn away and
not go in!! So we said a prayer that we would be safe from the dogs and went in
with faith!! I wasn't even nervous after that honestly. Turns out no one
was home......haha BUT we were protected from the dogs :)
One
morning we didn't have any set appointments so we went tracting and
"oyming" in some neighborhood for like 2 hours and got NOTHING.
BUT, as we were driving away about to go eat lunch we passed a guy watering his
lawn. About 40 yards later I knew it was one of those things where if we
didn't pull over and go talk to him, I probably would have regretted it SO we
did! We walked over to him and long story short, he is a new investigator and
we have an appointment with his wife and daughter tonight as well! I've noticed
on my mission the miracles usually come when you’re about to go in, or about
to die of heat stroke, or about to give up. It’s all about endurance!
We
have some sweet member missionaries in our ward. My favorite being, Ms.
Kathy Lynn of course. She goes to Publix every week and has been fellowshipping
one of the cashiers. This week she called us up and said, "Sisters, I'm
ready to take you to Publix with me to give this lady a BOM." YES MAM
:) We went and it was a great experience!!! SO grateful for member
missionaries, they make all the difference!!
Another
highlight was my interview with President Smith!! I always leave feeling so
uplifted and motivated! I am so grateful to be serving with him and Sister
Smith. They are amazing and I have learned so much from them. Another
highlight was when Sister S and I traveled to Woodville this week. It’s a small town outside of
Tallahassee. It reminded me a lot of Southport in Panama City. We
taught a homeless guy and then he started reciting poetry to us. It was interesting!
We picked figs off a huge fig tree this week! First time for everything right??
I didn't even know figs were real. Haha.
They weren't too bad! Wendy is praying about being baptized on Aug 30th :)
OH
another shout out to Lexi Hansen!!!! Lexi was my dance teacher from Jive and
during the concert this year she had all the girls write me notes!!! She then
sent me the package this week filled with little notes :) It was totally
unexpected and so nice!!! Aw I miss my Jive girls!!! It made my week for sure!!
Well
that’s it for this week y’all! :) We have MLC in Crestview on Wednesday so I'm
stoked! August is going to be great!! Thanks for your prayers and support!!
Miss and love y’all SOOOOOOOO much!!! Have a great week!!! Church is true, book
is blue! <3/ Sister Lauren Holmoe :)
