WOW this week was amazing the longer I have been a missionary the more I just love the work everyday is a gift!! This week my companion and I were chatting about being missionaries and in preach my gospel it says "When you were set apart by priesthood authority, you received the right and privilege to represent the Lord." We both started crying when we thought about the day we will be released because it is such an amazing opportunity to be a representative of the Lord. I love being a missionary!
Right now we have one of the most prepared investigators that I have ever taught wow we began teaching her about a month ago and she has progressed so quickly!!! She has already attended church three times and is already to Alma in the Book of Mormon I'm like she's a better Book of Mormon reader then I am and I'm a missionary lol but seriously she's awesome! I think I sent a little about her story a couple weeks ago but it was a couple months ago that I met her and there was something different about her that just made me feel like I really needed to go back to her house. She had been to our church once with a friend and had read a little in the Book of Mormon a couple years back but didn't really understand it or pay much attention to it. Now she loves it!!! We invited her last week to be baptized on the 28th and she was like yes I want to be baptized but I just feel like I still need to learn more (we downloaded the gospel library app on her phone) and she's been reading everything she is the definition of someone that has REAL INTENT. This past week we asked her again about baptism and she was like "actually I was reading in Alma 32 and it talked about faith and how if we have a perfect knowledge then we aren't exercising our faith" and then she went on to say that she wants to be baptized then she started asking about Temples and just couldn't stop crying she felt the spirit so strong it was one of the best moments of my mission for sure! She is amazing and a huge blessing for our ward!
So she is definitely the highlight of my week but there's lots of other great things happening we teach the restoration about 5+ times everyday and I love it! This morning I read a quote about how the restoration is the most significant thing to have occurred since Christ was lifted up on the cross and performed the Atonement. The restoration is so important to us and we are so blessed to have Christ's church and the Priesthood authority again here on the earth!
The weeks are flying by and I am loving loving loving the time I have to serve as a missionary! Haha this week I knocked a door and this guy came running out and the door flew open and he's like " oh my goodness with a knock like that I thought you were the police" hahaha I guess my knocking skills are getting pretty good.
Love you all!!!!!
