Who Turned On The Heat?

Well, it looks like it is officially summer in the Bronx! It. Is.
Hot!:) We have had quite the week this week! It is always fun getting
a new companion, lots to do! Unfortunately, because of the heat (and
on the days where it wasn't hot, it was raining haha!) not very many
people were willing to meet with us. LOTS OF FINDING ACTIVITIES!:)

One of my favorite days of this week was Friday! Sister Fu and I went
street contacting and she is SO GOOD at it! We met 6 people who were
interested in learning more about the gospel on Friday. One of the
people we met was named Lucy, and she sat and talked to us for about
45 minutes. She had such strong faith in Heavenly Father and she
shared so many experiences that helped to strengthen her testimony and
she goes around and shares the gospel with all of her friends, and
even random people she meets on the street. You can tell that the
gospel has made her very happy:) And I started thinking about that,
and a few days later we shared this scripture with an investigator,
it's Moroni 7:13 and it says, "But behold, that which is of God
inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing
which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve
him, is inspired of God." And I started thinking about it more. And I
love how Heavenly Father doesn't just bless people's lives through the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Yes, this church contains
the fullness of the gospel- but there are other things in the world
that "inviteth and enticeth to do good"! I am so grateful for Lucy and
the many, many other people I have met that have showed me that
Heavenly Father can be found anywhere. All we are doing is taking the
good they have, and adding more:)

Church on Sundayy was really good too! Only one of our investigators
was able to make it (rain...) but she got up and bore one of the
sweetest testimonies I have heard, it was so simple! And she said that
she is hoping to be baptized in her testimony and that made us VERY
excited! She is special needs but I have loved seeing and being part
of how the gospel has changed her life, she is amazing!:)

I am so excited for this week, especially tomorrow! We have the
opportunity to have a member of the quorum of the 70, Elder Bennett,
coming to speak to us. We have been preparing all week and I am pumped
to be able to receive instruction from a general authority!:)

Make it a fantastic week! Don't forget to read your scriptures, and
say your prayers!:) I love you all and God loves you more!

Love, Sister Jones
