Hello everyone!
Ok first off.... CONGRATS to Jason and Brooke on their engagement!!!! I love you guys and I am so happy for you both!! I hope that you all had an amazing week! I had a great week but I feel like I cannot remember it for some reason!!
So first off we got transfer calls and I get to stay in Salmon!! So excited!! I am not going to miss a baptism of one of my favorite families!!
We had another fun run in with someone who does not like "organized religion"... And that is pretty tough when they just bag on everything you love for like 30 minutes... All you can do is just pray for them and tell them what you know to be true.
This week was great being able to visit with member families. Sister Gaston and I pray and ask God which families in the wards we serve in know someone is ready to hear about the gospel. So we were able to meet with some families and talk with them. It was awesome! Being able to work with members is the best way to do missionary work!
Thursday night was amazing! Last week we went out with our Ward Mission leader and he was able to help us get in a door that we had been trying to get in for like 2 months (we could never get them when they were home). Anyways, we had a great first lesson with them then and then on Thursday we had another amazing lesson with them! In one week the wife had listen to all of 1 and 2 Nephi!!! That was an amazing miracle! Then her husband said that he is willing to try this out because he feels like there is something missing in his life. They are such a cool family! We had a church tour with them and they said that they would like to be baptized! They also came to church on Sunday.
We are also teaching this young man who is in high school and his little sister got baptized earlier this year. He was sick this week which is not always good but since he was sick he started reading the Book of Mormon! I can really tell that he wants to learn and that he wants more in his life!
So this week we were able to have a lesson over the phone. It was so spiritual! So I can not remember if I have told you about him yet but I know Sister Gaston has. So we were able to talk to Brent a little this week over the phone and man he is so ready for the gospel but something is just holding him back! When we taught a quick restoration over the phone and after Sister Gaston recited the First Vision, Brent was just crying and said, "That's amazing". It was an amazing experience!
I was pretty bummed out yesterday because I woke up early in the morning and I had the stomach flu so I was not able to go to church and I really wanted to. Man being sick any time is bad but being sick as a missionary is the worst! I was grateful though because I was able to get a priesthood blessing and I know that it was from my Heavenly Father! The Priesthood is the best and I am so grateful for worthy men who hold the priesthood!
Well I hope you all have an amazing week! I love you all and make sure this month that you all #LightTheWorld!! I want to share this scripture with you guys. It is one that my mission president shared with us.
Alma 19:6 Now, this was what Ammon desired, for he knew that king Lamoni was under the power of God; he knew that the dark veil of unbelief was being cast away from his mind, and the LIGHT which did LIGHT up his mind, which was the LIGHT of the glory of God, which was a marvelous LIGHT of his goodness—yea, this LIGHT had INFUSED such joy into his soul, the cloud of darkness having been dispelled, and that the LIGHT of everlasting life was LIT up in his soul, yea, he knew that this had overcome his natural frame, and he was carried away in God—
Missionary work is the best!! Be a light to others!!
Love,
Sister Lacey
