This
has been the best week ever! I've finally been transferred over to the
YSA, and it's AMAZING! My companion Sister Winters is amazing. She's
already graduated from BYU in Biophysics and is a super genius...and a
Disney princess. And the area is PHENOMENAL. Most of the members are
very very recent converts to the church. Last night we had a super fun Friday
night activity that we have every week, and our investigator Laura
came. We had a lesson with her beforehand and she committed to be
baptized February 4th!
She's already jumped in with both feet to the church- she's incredible.
The fellowshipping here is awesome...for once the peer-pressure is on
the POSITIVE side! I'm so excited for this transfer!! Also, P-days are
on Saturday here, heads up!
Since
I just got here a couple days ago I don't have a whole lot to write
about! The other progressing investigator I've met is Jeanne. She's an
OB nurse and super cute! We didn't bring it up in the lesson, but she
was actually the one who said she felt like she needed to be baptized.
What even!!! So next time we meet with her we're going to set a date!
Her friend from church invited her to come to the activities and her
interest in the gospel peaked from there. So always bring your friends
to church with you!!! At Missionary Leadership Council we found out that
soon all missions will be implementing a new daily schedule. The new
schedule allows for more productive time proselyting and less free time,
AND it also allows for more SLEEP! #hallelujah I'm super excited about
the changes (and kinda pumped to be a guinea pig and test out the new
schedule).
Spiritual
thought: Have you ever wondered what your purpose was? Like, where
you're staring at the ceiling and thinking, "Why am I even here?" For
starters, we are literal children of God, who sent us to this earth to
learn and grow and progress to someday become like Him. Life brings a
lot of challenges to help us overcome trials and learn how to make
decisions (preferably righteous ones). But since we ALL make mistakes
and none of us are even close to being perfect, Heavenly Father provided
us with a Savior, Jesus Christ, to atone for our sins and pains and
wrong-doings. Our goal in life is to prepare now to return to the
presence of God. Because He loves us, we'll be placed into a degree of
glory depending on our acceptance of the Savior and receiving sacred
ordinances that He's asked us to partake in. One of those things is
baptism by proper priesthood authority, which has been restored to the
earth today. To learn more about Heavenly Father's plan of happiness for
us, go to mormon.org! :)
Love, Sister Brett
