Hello!
This week has been so good!
On Wednesday we had MLC and President asked me
if I would give a training on "Why Jesus Christ" to go along the with
new Christmas initiative, "A
Savior is Born". If you haven't seen it go to christmas.mormon.org and watch!
It was
so good to study why we need a Savior and why He did what He did for us. It all
comes down to love I think. He loved us so much to come here and suffer for us,
so we can be made whole. I have gained such a testimony of His atonement and
grace on my mission and I love this time of year that we have to remember Him
and share that love with others!
So get busy doing your missionary work and
share that knowledge with someone who needs it! :)
Also, happiest news of my life.
Gabriella and Brandon
aren't moving anymore!!!
It was seriously the biggest miracle. We were
praying so hard that they would be able to stay, and when we went over for a
lesson they told us that his co-worker told him of a place here that would be
just as cheap that they could live in and its still in the ward boundaries. We
were like, "Wait.... for real?" hahaha. But hopefully that all works
out and then we just need to help them get married and baptized! I sent of
picture of them out to dinner with us and the Ferrell's. Tell me their little
baby Elsa isn't the cutest human alive. We taught them about the priesthood the
other night and it is just so cool to see their testimonies grow and their
lives change.
But keep
praying for them!
They are so close and just need a little extra
desire. But I know they will be baptized soon!
We also found a new investigator this week
named
Florence! She was super sweet and just let us right in.
She is from Sierra Leone and told us how she converted from Islam to
Christianity because Christ appeared to her in a dream! Pretty crazy. But she
is really sweet and we will meet with her this week!
We also had the ward Christmas party,
exchanges, zone meeting, etc. this week.
So busy! But it has been so
good.
News though: I get to go to the temple tomorrow!!!!!!
Yay! I am sooooo excited. All of the departing
missionaries get to go to the Washington D.C. temple once before they go home
with President and Sister Wilson. So we will drive up there and go to the
temple and then visit some sites in D.C. and it will be the greatest. I miss
the peace of the temple and feeling so close to Heavenly Father. You never
realize how great it is until you can't go! So go to the temple often and enjoy
it and I will tell you how it goes next week! :)
Also, transfer calls are this Saturday. Ahh!
We are nervous. Since I am going home two weeks after the transfer I will most
likely be in a trio for the last two weeks? But we are praying and groveling to
President to let us both stay here in Quantico haha. So I will let you know
what happens next week!
This week has been so good, it reminds me of 1
Nephi 1:20 that says,
"But
behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are
over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty
even unto the power of deliverance."
I have seen so many of those
tender mercies lately and every time I just feel so much of His love. He is so
aware of us and He truly cares about our happiness. I am so grateful for that
kind of love and the little miracles that He allows me to see each day.
They have changed everything for me.
They have changed everything for me.
I hope you all have a wonderful week and look
for those small miracles because they are always there!
Love you lots and lots!
XOXO, Sister Fowers
