Hi everyone!
A lot has happened this week….
Due to the nature of my shoes and the sunshine, i am getting striped feet! There are crazy tan lines on my feet haha. One of the Elders from my district went home last week due to health problems, and it was sad to see him leave. But we know Heavenly Father has a plan for him, and we hope he gets to come back eventually. My companion and I got to teach many wonderful people this week. We met this girl who didn't have any religious background but she was willing to learn more, and when she said a prayer for the first time, she got teary eyed and then we left. We met this chinese woman (Maria) who had a grandma who believed in God when she was a little girl. We got to come into her home and teach her and her husband about their Loving Heavenly Father. We taught them to pray and Maria said she felt power. We gave them a Book of Mormon to read and invited them to pray everyday. Sister Elwell and I are so excited.
We have a baptism coming up this saturday! My first one! Her name is Darlene and she has been investigating for a few months now. Yesterday she brought her grandson to church and we are really excited to see him start coming as well. She is really allowing the love and peace of this gospel to come into her life. As members it is important to be very welcoming and loving to those who visit or are new to the ward. They need to know for themselves this gospel is real and that people actually live the teachings and find the joy that comes from it. As we share the love of God with others we will be enabled to overcome our trials that bring us down and be lifted up by the atonement of christ.
We ate dinner and celebrated St Patricks Day at the Palmers this week. I ate Corn Beef, Collared Greens, and key lime cake! Southern! We had pot luck after church, we had ward conference this past sunday. I ate a Krispy Kreme Donut.
Always remember that you are a child of God. Heavenly Father loves you and will able to bless you more as you strive to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Just as Jesus looked around for those who needed his compassion, let us look around and share the joy of Jesus Christ and be strengthened by His love for us.
Love Sister Prue
