Hey y'all!!
Well the weeks keep on getting faster and faster and it's scaring the heck out of me haha!! I am sorry that last week I was so bad about emailing but if y'all were curious, I hit 11 months last week! Ahh so weird! I am so grateful that I get more time to continue to serve the Lord!
So I have some funny stories and miracles to tell y'all! So last Sunday we went and contacted this 21 year old guy and we taught him the first lesson. While we were there I realized that we were going to need to pass him off the the Ysa missionaries, so on Tuesday, that's what we did. We taught with Elder Lütz and Torrance and it was a good lesson but there were just some awkward moments.... So we were having a lesson outside and it starts to rain in the middle of the lesson haha and then the really awkward part happened haha. So we finished up and the guy we were teaching said, "so you guys are not coming back?" (talking about my comp and I) and I told him no because the Ysa elder were going to come back. He then said, "well what if I say I'm married?" and I responded and said, "well are you married?" He said, "no.... Will you marry me?".......he said that to me.....
All I said was, "no, sorry I'm a missionary" haha it was great
My goodness, I feel like I have been through so much learning experiences!! Satan works so so so hard on us as children of God and when we are in the moment of it, it is so hard to recognize that it's Satan. I have been learning more and more these past few weeks of how the Spirit speaks to me and its pretty amazing! I feel like there are nights when I am just pleading with my Father in Heaven for help and I continue on as a missionary and something happens like a day or 2 later and EVERYTHING fits together and makes sense and I'm all like, "ohhhhh, that's why that happened!" and God is probably just looking at me and laughing a little and is thinking, "now your getting it Sister Lacey" haha! It's been pretty amazing!
I love how when you ask God for help, and you show Him that you are willing but your flesh is weak, He's always going to help us! I'll give an example! So my trainer, Adalyn Gaston can testify of this but at the beginning of my mission I felt so dumb and inadequate because I felt like I didn't know the scriptures at all. From then I have tried hard and prayed and fasted for help so I can learn the scriptures better!! I know I have a LONG way to go to be a scriptorian but I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father has helped me to the point I am at right now. I feel like I can better use the scriptures when I teach others and I know it's from the Spirit! The Spirit tells me of scriptures and it's great being able to share it with the person we are teaching! I love Doctrine and Covenants 11:21
21 Seek not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my word, and then shall your tongue be loosed; then, if you desire, you shall have my Spirit and my word, yea, the power of God unto the convincing of men.
That is a TRUE promise from God!
I am so grateful to be serving in this mission as well! I have so much love for my mission president and wife! I was able to have an interview with him this past week and man he is so loving! I am so grateful that I can go to him about anything and he will be there to love and support me and not judge me! He is truly a Christlike man!
Sister Hurst and I were able to witness a HUGE MIRACLE last night!! So I know I don't use names on here but we were teaching this amazing guy and he dropped us about a month ago. Well we're able to see him at this community BBQ and it was really good! We'll we were online proslyting and the Spirit told me to send him the "Because of Him" video and from that we started messaging. Well he then invited us over to his house and guess what??? He's letting us teach him again!!!! I thought I was gonna die! I love this guy so much! He's like my uncle! I just want him to receive the blessings of the Restored gospel so bad! It's so funny too because people don't realize that they are searching for the truth. It's just our job to show them that they are!
Being a missionary definently has its ups and downs but I wouldn't trade that for anything! God is so good and He loves us all so much! Another missionary shard this scripture with me this week and I love it so I will share it with yall! I hope all have a great week! Share the good word of God! I love you all!!
1 John 4:6
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Love,
Sister Lacey
