Family and Friends!!!
I have to say I sure love being a missionary! I love the miracles we see each day and the lives I am able to see change!!
Last Monday, I received a call from my Mission President. He asked me if I would be willing to have a "mini missionary" stay with me for the week! Of course I said yes and we made arrangements for my mini missionary to come. I stayed with Sisters Hope and Eagar and worked in their area for the rest of the night.
Tuesday morning I moved all of my things back to my apartment and Sister Olson, my mini missionary, came down to Boulder City. She just graduated High School and is 17. She wants to serve a mission and was really excited (and nervous) to come out with me for a week! We really hit the ground running! Knocking on doors, visiting less-actives and teach investigators. We saw Lou, whom I just adore! We read in the Book of Mormon with him! He is doing so well!
Wednesday we had our last district meeting of the Transfer! It was wonderful! I love all the Elders and Sisters here in Boulder City! We are so close! Sister Olson and I visited with an older lady in our ward, Sister Titmus. She has been having some heart problems this past week and has really been worried about it. I asked if she had received a priesthood blessing and if she would like one. She hadn't and we arranged for a couple of men in our ward to come by later that day and give her a blessing. We saw her a few days later and she thanked us so much for coming and suggesting a blessing. She said the next morning she had no problems with her heart and is feeling so much better! I love the priesthood power! It is real! It is back on the Earth, because of the Restoration! I know that the Lord continues to bless and lift others!
Thursday we had exchanges! Sister Olson went to the YSA Ward and I had Sister Coltrin come to Boulder with me! We found out that Sister Coltrin and I are both going to BYUand going into the same major!! It was so fun to talk at lunch about it! We also had so many miracle lessons! We taught a less active lady, Sister Shattler, and her 10 year old (nonmember) daughter, Tiffany! We talked about the Book of Mormon and showed them the app to have the scriptures read to them! They loved it and are excited to listen to the scriptures every day!! We also saw Lou and taught him about the 10 commandments and the Law of Chasity! He really loves the members of the church and how they really follow these commandments! He said the most amazing prayer ever at the end of our lesson! He asked Heavenly Father to confirm the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and of what we had been sharing with him. We were all in tears! The Spirit was so thick! I am so grateful for the power of prayer!!
Friday David and Amanda from my last ward took me out to lunch!! They are moving away and we just had to say good-bye to each other! They are seriously my favorite people! It was so fun to hear the updates of their life and there missionary experiences! They are great examples! I know that I was in Quail Ridge to meet them! I had weekly planning today which was something Sister Olson really couldn't help me with, so I did it on my own.. I am really getting good at planning by myself!
Saturday our day was pretty full! We saw Caitlyn, who was at Girl's Camp all week! We taught her about the 10 commandments and the Law of Chasity! It was a great lesson and she is excited to be Baptized on
July 5th!! We also received our TRANSFER DOCTRINE! I am staying 6 more weeks in Beautiful Boulder City! My new companion is SISTER NICHOLS! My MTC Companion!!!!! I am soooo excited! We already are best friends! It will be soooo great!! The ward is really excited as well!
Sunday we received two new ward missionaries! Brother and Sister Slack! They are so great and I am so excited to have them apart of our team! They really have jumped right in and are excited for their new callings! Missionary work truly is the greatest work! I am so grateful to be apart of the Lord's work!!!
I hope you all are having a great week and that you know how much I love and miss you! I feel so blessed to be able to serve and lift others! I truly am being refined and changed! What a great blessing it is to be a member of Christ true and restored Church! I know that Heavenly Father is aware of each one of us! I am grateful for His love!
The church is true, the book is blue!
