I hope you all had a lovely Father's Day!
Shout out to my dad for being THE GREATEST DAD EVER. Hands down, LOVE YOU PAP!!! We did something interesting on Sunday, we went on splits so that I could be at Fort Eustis and Sister Nelson could be in our ward with our investigators. So my temporary companion was the senior couple, the Larsens and Sister Nelson went with Sister Corbitt. It was a huge success! Being on base was neat, met a few new guys, heard a beautiful violin solo, and ate some yummy steak! Meanwhile, S, M, and J all made it to church as well!! WOW it was so great to walk in and see them sitting in Relief Society, just soaking in the Spirit! They all had a great experience and they can't wait to come again! So many good things :)
S is just cruising. She told us how before we came she was always depressed and things because she is not in the best living situation right now, but after we started visiting, she says light has really come into her life. She knows this is true it's amazing! What a honor it is to be a part of her conversion. God truly led us to meet her, I know it.
We had a yummy yummy meal at the T family's home as well,- good ol' cornbread and jambalaya . Yes family, I will be making this for you because it's so southern and soooo good. They invited a less active to come as well, and we had a great lesson on the beauty of repentance! Much success that night :)
We also introduced an investigator to the family history center, she really loved it! It is so neat to see people light up with the spirit of Elijah and get so excited! Family History is totally amazing.
We did some service for a less active, as well, Saturday morning. He said that he is just so grateful for us. We make him feel "apart of the church" When he said that Sister Nelson and I said, in unison, "You ARE a part of the church!" He is slowly learning and coming back. It's amazing!
Man, life it just so blessed. Talking to people and testifying of this Gospel is one of the happiest things I have ever done. It is scary to talk to random strangers and the fear of rejection is always there, but after doing it the Spirit just fills me and I know that no matter what, as we testify of the truths that we know, we have done a wonderful thing and God is so grateful for it. So take that as my thought for the week. Testify of the truths that you know, it will fill you with the spirit of God, which is one of God's greatest gifts to us.
This week will be interesting! I won't get my companion till Wednesday so I will be hanging with a few other sisters for a while! But come Thursday, we are going to dive right into the work!
LOVE Y'ALL did you know???? YUP
Be blessed
