Remember how I said God is in the details of our lives? Ya, this week TOTALLY confirmed that!
So,
we had been trying to meet up with a part member family (the Goforths)
for about 2 or 3 months. We finally met up with Courtney Goforth and
her good friend Kimber Crandall (the Bishops wife) and taught her her
first lesson with the missionaries. It went well. Nothing great,
nothing bad, but she invited us back. She has concerns and questions,
but she has recognized that several events in her life have led her back
to the church and learning about it. So, she is open to it.
The highlight of my week? Pihana Kea. My best
friend, Teddy Wright, is on a mission in Hawaii. Pihana is her
investigator who moved to my area. Teddy contacted me through email and
told me to continue teaching her. Pihana was AMAZING! We met with her
yesterday! Sister Martin, my companion, was not feeling well, so we
had an emergency exchange with our Sister Training Leaders. Sister Beer
from Chinatown was my temporary companion. I was so amazed by her
teaching style! It was perfect to have her there in teaching. We
taught Pihana the Plan of Salvation since she told us family means a ton
to her. She then asked how she can know these things for herself. We
explained the spirit and how it speaks to us differently. Sister Beer
asked her if she has felt anything while we taught her. Immediately she
perked up and said "Yes! It feels like a warm blanket! I was confused
why I was feeling it, but now I know it is the spirit." WOWWWWWW!!!!
How amazing! Dear Sister Wright, you passed off a GOLDEN young woman!
Thank you!!!!
So many other tender mercies have happened this
week! Lots of success. Lots of people listening and even approaching
us! It has been great! The happier your demeanor, the more
approachable you are. And since I've been very happy this week, the
more we have been approached. Amazing. God is with us. There is no
doubt of this! Miracles happen!
Go forth and serve someone today... call them, text
them, smile at someone on the street, wave, pick up a piece of trash, do
someone elses chores, etc. Serve though. And report back to me :)
Love Always,
Sister Weyandt
