HOWDY YALLL!!! The past 4 months have been some of the hardest, best, most rewarding months of my life! This week was sooo good!
Tuesday: BRUTAL LOL... we tried to contact lots of our inactives but not a single one answered we also both got sick and it was absolutely FREEZING! But we left them all notes so hopefully one of them will respond to us!
Wednesday:SERVICE! There's something soo cool about this time of year! Lots of people are more willing to hear our message or are just kinder in general! We do service at the food pantry and homeless shelter each week and it's absolutely incredible to see how these people will have nothing but they give what they do have to God and others! They are so loving and they go out of they're way to make sure we're okay and feel loved it's amazing! I love those people so much and they have taught me what selfless service means. We got to help them prep food for Thanksgiving! It's crazy how much food that they give out! It's cool to watch people come in and volunteer and make donations! God is so good!!
Thursday: ZONE CONFERENCE! Lol I got humbled so I for some reason thought our zone conference was at 9:30 so me not wanting to be late decided we would be 20 minutes early and then do some calls! Welp psych, it was actually at 9 so that's embarrassing! Got to sit in the middle of the 2nd row so eye to eye with President lol! I felt awful but it's really on me for making my goal this week humility besides that it was absolutely amazing!!! I always feel so hyped after zone conference! I learned to be bold! And the importance of inviting people to sacrament! Here's a quote from President about diligence " Christ knows how to fix broken things. In order for the healing to take place there needs to be an alignment "
We call the week of zone conference holy week because the miracles just flow! Literally during lunch for zone conference our friend who we thought dropped off the face of the earth called us and asked to meet with us!!! And then we had 2 BOMB lessons it was amazing!
Friday: MIRACLES!!
Miracle 1: we had a really good member check in call w/ a member!
Miracle 2: We were able to find a member to come to our lesson
Miracle 3: our friend has a few learning disabilities but he biked 30 minutes in the 20° weather to hear our message! We didn't think he was going to come so we apologized to the member we had brought and started to walk back to our cars. We saw a guy across the street at the park and all of us felt like we needed to talk to him so we did! It was crazy because that member needed to be there to share some things, we needed to be there as well and that wouldn't have happened had it gone the way we had planned. Then our friend pulls up and we were able to teach him the restoration! We showed him the 1st vision video and after he said wow that really did happen! It was one of those days where your heart is just so full it feels like it's going to shatter! It made me think wow am I willing to bike in the frigid weather to hear about the Book of Mormon? Do I value it as much as he did? I feel like sometimes it's easy to take the knowledge we have for granted! There are people who aren't as luck as we are! We need to treasure the Book of Mormon and share that with others!
Saturday: MONETT!
We got to go to Monett for a baptism! It was a really neat experience! And then we went to our inactives in the area! None of them answered but we left them notes and then we felt prompted to leave a bom on a random door so we wrote our testimonies and marked all our favorite scriptures and left it there! We had lunch and dinner with some members and we met some cool people when we were out finding!
Sunday: BEST DAY EVER!!!! We as a zone set a goal to invite 100 people to sacrament this week! Friday we had felt like we needed to go to see an inactive at work! We did not want to because last time it was way awkward but we decided to do it anyway! GUYS! We had a 2 hour long conversation with him at work and we were only interrupted 1x! And we have gone through a lot of similar things! I was able to relate to him so well and share how gospel had helped me and how and why I know it's true! We testified of the atonement and showed him the because of him video, the spirit was so strong! He agreed to come to church & he did!!! It was amazing! We had 3 non members and 2 inactives at church which seems small but last week we had 0 and the week before 1 so that was huge! And then our recent convert made me bawl my eyes out for 10 minutes straight when she told me she wants to serve a mission! If she is the only thing that happens my whole mission I will be more than happy! I know she is going to change so many lives and I'm soo excited for her! Watching her grow has been amazing! She is such a huge example to me & I'm so grateful for her influence in my life!
Challenge: go into your scripture study this week with a question! Ive done it this week and it's strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon so much!!!!
