This week has been amazing!!! We have seen so many miracles! We started out this week by going to talk to Sharon Bergsma Monday night! She is SIster Runyons mom in the ward and she is amazing. It was me and Sister Pelos last day together, and we went over to invite her to take the missionary lessons. And she was just in tears saying that she has felt the spirit really strong these last few weeks at church and when we taught her the Plan of Salvation. And she just poured out her heart to us about her past, and it was so evident that God has been preparing her, her whole life to accept the gospel! She said yes to taking the discussions and we are seeing her this Thursday! Then Tuesday morning we went to transfer meeting and met my new companion. Her name is Sister McLing and she is from Idaho Falls. She is so awesome! She is 20 years old and wasn't planning on serving at first, but she got the answer that she needed to come! And I said goodbye to my blessed trainer Hermana Cardosa! I am going to miss her a lot, and i am so thankful for everything that she taught me! Then Our first day we got here we had an appointment with Isabella Hanks, she is in the Chatfield Ward and she is a cute little 9 year old who wants to be baptized. Her Mom is a member who is wanting to come back and reactivate herself. So my companions first day in the mission field she put her on Date!! We are super excited to work with her. We also met with our Ward mission leader in Chatfield and he has some amazing ideas. They are doing the desert initiative in our ward. Which is where the members of the ward simply invite a non member neighbor to their house for desert so that they make friends and so that friend can feel the spirit in their home. Then their are three invitations that they can do from there. The first is the "Star invitation" Which is where you invite that friend to desert or a BBQ or a casual event. The second is the "Moon invitation" Which is when you then invite them to Dinner with the missionaries or to a ward party or a service project. And the third is the "Sun invitation" which is when you invite them to church or to read the Book of Mormon or to take the lessons with the missionaries! I am so excited about the member missionary work that is happening in the Chatfield ward! It is amazing to see people, who have a sincere desire to share the gospel with their friends, because they love the gospel and they love their friends. I know that Missionary work can seem hard and scary at times,but i know that missionary work really is the greatest manifestation of LOVE!! I know that when we share the gospel we are sharing heavenly fathers love, and I know that Missionary Work brings a fullness of Joy! So I want to invite all of you to apply the desert initiative, and invite a nonmember or a less active or someone that needs love into your house for desert, and then EMAIL ME!! And tell me about the miracles!!! PLEASE!!!
Also this week we taught seminary!! And we talked about the power of the Book of Mormon! I finished the Book of Mormon for the 4th time this week, and I love it! I honestly cannot describe how much the book of Mormon has helped me come closer to my savior. It has helped me to understand who my Savior is and how I can have a relationship with him. I am so thankful for the opportunity to study the book of Mormon and to get inspiration from day to day. I know that the Book of Mormon can answer any question! This week we also went to 8 hours of church! Which was great hahah, we did decide though that we definitely need church snacks hahah! And at Church we met Eric Nitzle from the Chatfield ward. He is a nonmember and his wife is a member, and he has been going to church for the last 6 months, and he is awesome!! During Gospel Principles he basically just bore his testimony about his conversion to the gospel, and he told a member friend that the next time the missionaries extend a date he is going to say yes!! So we are going to see him this week and put him on date, so that his cute family can be a forever family! Which honestly I think it is the best job in the world to help families be eternal!! It has been an awesome week, and each week just keeps on getting better! I hope you all know how much I love you!!! And I hope you all take my challenge and INVITE someone to come unto Christ!! LES AMO!!
Love, Hermana Tamales! 💙💛💜❤💥
