Dear Everyone I love,
This past week has been a little strange. Sister Holm and I
have had people try to shake our testimonies, but we won't let it phase us! The
Lord is hastening His work! We just need to find the people that are ready to
hear it and accept the message!
Tuesday after emailing we went and had dinner with a
Part-Member Family, the S.'s. That was interesting. Sister Holm and I just
realize how true the gospel is when people try to question it's truthfulness.
This really is Christ's gospel and it is utterly perfect in all it's simplicity.
Wednesday we had District Meeting and I gave a training.
That was great. Then went and had a lesson with D. and G., some of our new
investigators. They are so sweet and such a cute older couple. We feel like
they are receiving the message pretty well. We just gotta get them to come to
church.
Thursday was a good day. We did weekly planning and then
went up to Penticton to have dinner with our Branch Mission Leaders, the
W.s, and their less-active daughter and granddaughter and also their
non-member neighbors. It was very interesting and we hope we were able to help
strengthen their faith, because that is our job as missionaries(:
Friday we exchanged with the Penticton Sisters and I got to
stay in Penticton with Sister Foley, who I was in the MTC with. We talked about
how weird it was that we've been out for almost 6 months and how fast it's gone
by but kind of slow at the same time. We literally went finding all. day. long.
It was the most draining day I've had so far on my mission. Knocking on doors
from 10 until 7:30. We took an hour for lunch and dinner of course, but it was
so exhausting. It was still a good day though. Just one for the books. Finding.
All. Day. Long.
Saturday was interesting. By lunch time, Sister Holm and I
weren't feelin' too great....we called the mission nurse and she said there had
been a bug going around and to just stay near a toilet...so that was fun. Never
want that again. No thank you. But we studied the Bible all day so that was
good.
Sunday was a day of miracles!!! The F.'s (less-active
Hungarian family) came to church!!! So happy. Then they told us that a family
from St. George, Utah just moved into their apartment building!! So we have to
go scout them out and see if they were just trying to escape all the Mormons in
Utah...and show them that they have failed to do so(; so hopefully we will find
them soon! And then these 2 younger boys from a part-member/less-active family
came to church. The younger of the two brothers (who is ten) said that he wanted
to be baptized. So Sister Holm and I basically started to cry when we found
that out. So we just need permission right now to teach him and get him
baptized. The faith of children is so amazing. The church really is true.
Monday was a good day too. We got everything done before
noon. So we went home and napped for like 2 hours. It was the best. Most people
do fun things on P-Day like go shopping, or hiking, but no. Sister Holm and I?
We love sleep. Then later we went finding and found a new investigator named
N. who is super sweet. Then we saw Sister B. (who we love) and the
M.s (who we love) and life is just great.
This week has been awesome and every day the Lord reminds me
why I am out here and shows me the miracles He has the power to perform through
me, His servant! I am so blessed to be out here serving Him and doing what is
right and true! I love all of you so much and hope you all have an awesome
week(: The church is true guys. Never forget it(:
Love, Sister Brittany Anne Larsen(:
