Haldo all!!
Just another e-mail. This week has
been normal. Trying to juggle our investigators and find more to somehow add
into the juggling. Our investigator Fabrice is finally starting to progress. He
accepted a Book of Mormon, he wouldn't take one before, and seems to be growing
in genuine interest. It started when he asked us to teach him about the law of
Chastity. So we did. It turns out it is something he really needed to hear. It
helped him understand what sin is, and really provided opportunities to testify
of the Atonement.
So excited to hear about and from
Sister Hardy!! Sounds like she is having a wonderful experience. It is so
foreign to me to think of only spending like 10 days in the MTC. I didn't feel
totally ready after six weeks, and I'm not even talking about french. But then
I got out and realized that it was the trainers who do most of the real
teaching, and the MTC is just to cover the basics. I'm sure Jordan will do
great! Our mission President told us that Elder Neil L. Anderson told him that
the wave of sister missionaries is being sent by the Lord to soften the hearts
of all the Melchizedek Priesthood holders who had left the Church, and I have
seen it happen so many times. The sweetness and firmness of a sister missionary
is so powerful that I sometimes wish I could just pass-off all my investigators
to them. I know that there are people here who need what Elders bring, but it
truly is the Sisters who have impressed me the most out here. So excited to
have one that is my sister!!
I'm not sure what the details are on
when I will be calling you guys on Mother's day, but I will e-mail you again
when I have that figured out. I can't wait to see all of your faces!! I'm so
grateful for the mission I was assigned to. It is exactly the mission I needed:
super intense. I don't know what other missions are like, but our mission has
such a serious tone that there is little room for apostate (missionary lingo
for disobedient) behavior. I learn a lot from the no-nonsense attitude that 85%
of the missionaries and 100% of the leaders have. I'm so blessed to have a
Father in Heaven who knows me, and cares for me. I love you all so much!!
Also transfer calls are this
Saturday.
