This week has gone by so fast. It's crazy I'm so exited I only have 5 real days left till I can leave FOR TEXAS!!! EAHAHAHAHHA!! SO excited. I have made many friend and people that are wonderful examples to me.
This week Sister Peterson and I have made some GOALS!!!
1. Read the Book of Mormon in a Week! When we leave it will be the end of the week. I am in 2nd Nephi and Praying like a mad man to try and finish before we leave!!! :D I would encourage you to read to book of Mormon this next month too. I cannot tell yo what blessings will come from reading this Testament of Jesus Christ, HOW AMAZING the gospel is. Ever since we started it seams like the gospel makes more since to me! It just links together. I love it.
2. I was in the RC (Referral Center) This is where you call people that have ordered something from the church off our commercials. SO you could be calling for an hour and only have 3 people even pick up their phone. :) Ha ha....gets frustrating sometimes. but I know that those 3 people wouldn't have answered unless they were supposed to. anyways,. A women named Roberta answered her phone and I was confirming her deliver of the Bible. She said she got it and she is grateful, I said do you have any questions and would you like to have then answered, we have some representatives in her area that would be happy to come over with a copy of the Book of Mormon. She said, no, right now life is really crazy, I'm taking care of my sick parents (86 yrs about) and it's really hard for her to focus on anything else really right now. She said I could possibly have time for that. I told her I knew how she was feeling, my BF G-ma is 93 and dying, and it's been really hard, sometimes you feel alone, like no one is there to help you. But I told her that if she would the message would truly help her and her family and I shared a scripture about Jesus suffering for our sins and our sorrows. I explained that Jesus Knows her and her family and their struggles and will never leave her comfortless. I said the missionaries could tell you more. she again said....I don't' know, I'm so busy....I said Roberta, I promise you, that if you take time to hear the missionaries and their message that you will the the hand of God in your life and your families, that he will lift your burdens and you will be blessed...She was silent....my heart was so calm, I felt peace...."OK" she said. She continued to say that maybe this has been an answer to prayers, and it would be nice to have the missionaries come to her house instead of trying to go to bible study when life is so hectic. I was thrilled. My heart jumped I started sharing scriptures and bearing testimony of Jesus Christ and The Missionary work we are here doing. She said she was so grate full for me calling and Said I was her angel today. I told her I am blessed to have talked to her, I told her that I know she has strong faith and that everything will be OK, that God will bless her and loves her, that she is amazing and I was grateful for her. She asked if she could get my number to call me back and my first and last name if she needed to talk to me. :D I can't even explain how thrilled and excited I was... I places a book of Mormon and had the missionaries come over!!! OWOOOWOWOWO!!! right!!!
3. Memorize the Articles of Faith again. we have 1-4 done and a few others, we have been focusing more of reading :)_ ha ha! BOOK of Mormon in a week at the MTC IS practically impossible!!! everyone says "ya right"....which pushes me even further. just 100 pages a day... or 110.... :) I can do it.
life is good. HARD!!! I got to talk to MOM yesterday!!!! What an amazing few minutes!!! I love love loved it!! lifted my spirits to hear the the spirit is strong at home and that all is doing well!!! Wonderful!!
I love the Lord, my savior, the Prophet. I Know My heavenly Father loves and knows me, that the gospel is true and that the Word of God is on the earth. I feel the spirit so strong, but just as strong I feel the pull of the advisory every day, trying to bring me down and feel like I don't belong... He's WRONG!!!! I Belong here, I can't wait to see John and Joe and JED!!! Out here working in the Field. Their testimonies will travel from her to all around the world.
