We had transfers this week and I get to stay in Olmstead with Sister
Hess! I am so excited for another transfer with this crazy Sister! We
had such a wonderful week, then again I feel like they all are, we are
so blessed to be here:)
Lots of memorable stories, the baptism of the Elder's investigator
(Jason). A woman we met on the street who asked us if we could pray
for her and her husband and if we could meet with her to share more
sometime. Another woman we stopped to talk to at her home- she has met
with missionaries before and she knows quite a bit about the church,
we set up another time to meet with her. And so many other miracles
Heavenly Father has allowed us to see and take part in!
One lesson stands out as my favorite though:) We had our investigator
and her 3 children come to a member's house with us for a Family Home
Evening. The daughter of the member is friends at school with the
daughter of our investigator, so it worked out so perfectly! We had a
lesson in how Jesus Christ is our perfect example. We all had an
opportunity to testify of our Savior after the message and I heard the
most beautiful testimony coming from a 10-year-old boy. He said one
simple sentence, "I am just really grateful for my Savior and the
sacrifice He made for us" and the Spirit flooded the room. Tears came
to everyone's eyes and we just sat for a minute feeling the Spirit.
Our investigator then shared a few words, she thanked the member
family for inviting them over and she testified of the Spirit that she
had felt. She wants her home to be able to feel the same as theirs,
and I know she is well on her way to making it feel that way. I too am
grateful for my Savior and the sacrifice He made for us, because of it
I know that families are forever. I know that we will all be able to
make it back to live with our Father in Heaven. And I am so grateful
for that knowledge!
This is the Lord's work! I truly have seen that manifest so many
times, but we have to be looking! If we aren't looking, we can miss
it.
Thanks for all of the support! I love you all more than you know! Have
a tremendous week!
Love, Sister Jones
