Dear Family and
Friends,
Beautiful area I serve in!
This week has been so good! I feel like I'm making a difference
even if it is just by introducing the church to others.
Beautiful trees!
This week in my area we did had a lot of appointments and also a
lot of finding. Many of our appointments fell through but because they did we
were able to find people we wouldn't have found otherwise. Thankfully we were
able to reschedule most of the appointments. However it is funny how the Lord
works in that way. We gives us the perfect opportunity to find others in our
missionary work.
My district. We had a booth at a fair type
thing.. we talked to A TON of people!
One of the investigators we have is named Beto. Most of his family
is less active. Only one of his brothers is active but is recently at home due
to health problems. We have been getting so close with Beto in these past six
weeks. When we finally were able to start the lessons with him he told us he
believed what we told him was true. This week as we were leaving he told us
that he is always sad when we leave because he somewhat loses the strong
feeling in his heart (during lessons he always tells us how big his heart
feels.). He knows this is the spirit because we are constantly telling him. He
is so ready to receive the ordinances of baptism. He talks about how he wants
the feeling he gets when we are there, all the time. We haven't been able to
commit him to a date but he has said he would be baptized if he found
everything to be true. Slowly we are getting him to pray. He reads all the time
we just want him to pray to know. I love teaching the people here especially
when I can see the change it is making in there hearts and lives.
I'm very sad that my amazing companion Hermana Player is leaving
this next week. I will miss my Trainer (Mom). She has helped me so much. She is
such an understanding and loving person. She is such an amazing missionary and
I know everyone in her next area will be blessed to have her there!
Its me...Boo! My comp drew it.
I hope all is going well with everyone and hope to hear from you
soon!
Love,
Hermana Gilchrist
