I love you so so much!
This has been a great week! We found out about transfers on Saturday! It was so stressful waiting for the news! I've been here in Robindale for 4 months now, so I was pretty sure I would be leaving.. BUT Sister Berger and I will be here another transfer together!!!!!!!! I am seriously in love with Robindale so I am so glad to be staying... That means I will be here 6 months! 1/3 of the mission! It's crazy!!!
So this week has been kinda weird.. I'm not sure why.. Just weird. But lots of tender mercies. The Lord truly is aware of each one of his children and it is so great to take part in this work! Sister Berger and I had the opportunity to do a training together in our Zone Training meeting. We were training on having our members become member missionaries. It was a great opportunity to help our Zone see the HOW in member missionary work. It doesn't happen over night, but it does happen! I have seen Robindale completely change and transform to be missionary minded. My companions and I have put a lot of work in over the past 4 months and we are seeing more and more results of our hard work! The Lord really is opening my spiritual eyes so that I can be refined.
So this week we met with Jesse again!!! First off.. listen to this... well read this I mean... Jesse came to FHE on Monday night.. Came up to us at the end and set our next appointment... AND asked a member to come to the lesson... YAHOO! Okay, this may not sound like that big of a deal! BUT this is every missionaries dream, that their investigator will set up the appointment, instead of us pulling teeth to set one up.. AND asking a member to come for us! Oh it was a beautiful thing!!! Fast Forward... We had an AWESOME lesson with Jesse on Saturday.. we taught The Gospel of Jesus Christ -Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of The Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End - Jesse really loved it... We set him for baptism on September 21st!!!! He accepted and wants to prepare to be baptized then! He told us that Sunday (yesterday) he has a lot of plans with his family, but he canceled ALL his plans so that he will be able to come to church this Sunday! WOW! That's amazing, and really shows a lot about him! And then on Sunday... HE CAME TO CHURCH! Cesar, this super awesome guy in our ward, picked him for church, sat with him, explained things to him, introduced him to other members, and took him to the classes.. Jesse LOVED church! He said he can't wait to come back next week! He told us he learned so so much! He is even bring his friend to FHE tonight! How cool is that?!! Our investigator is being a missionary! OH &&& I almost forgot... We set him for the 21st of September, because we prayed to know when he will be ready by and that is the answer Heavenly Father gave us... WELL... His birthday is on the 20th! The day before his baptism! How cool is that?!!! WAY COOL!
I am truly learning SO much from reading The Book of Mormon. I am finding ways to apply the teaching in my life as a missionary and in my life not as a full time missionary.. The words are truly the words of Christ! I feel so close to my Savior and my Heavenly Father as I read! I know that no matter what your troubles, worries, or concerns are that The Book of Mormon has the answers and will provide comfort! I wish I would have relied on it more and been a more devoted disciple of Christ growing up.. But I know that it is never to late to have The Gospel change your life and outlook! What a blessing it is to have the knowledge we do and to have the opportunity to share it with everyone around you. I know that as we look outward, that The Lord looks outward on us!!! I have seen this so much!
I hope you have an awesome week! Look for ways to help and influence others for good! Be an example of the Believers!
XOXO!
Love,
Sister Davis
