Dear Family and Friends!
It has been another great week with Sister Spangler in Middleburg. We are teaching Brother Kinder who has been "active" in the church for years, but never baptized. He is on date for the begining of September :) we are finding a lot of overaged youth to teach and bring to the waters of baptism. We have a lot of investigators coming to church. We are finding new people to teach, not too much time to knock doors :D This makes me really happy.
On Saturday, there was a funeral for one of our members who had cancer. She was well known and liked. We are teaching some of her family members now, who were inspired by how she lived her life.
In two weeks my p-day will be on wednesday (August 30, 2017) because Elder Brent Nielsen from the Missionary department will be touring our mission!!!! We will have a zone conference with him there. We have to be looking our best, and there are going to be random apartment inspections :O
There has been continued rain here. Today I have been a missionary for 8 months. By the end of the transfer, it will all be downhill :) I know this gospel is true, It is amazing to see the light that comes into people's eyes when they accept the gospel.
Service is so important in God's plan. We serve our ancestors by doing their temple work. We can serve the people we home teach and visit teach. I have gained a testimony of visiting teaching the wonders it can do as we serve- spiritually, and temporally edifying those we oversee. I know the early saints and prophets gave up their whole lives to share the gospel and allow them to experience the joy it brings. I Know Joseph Smith truly did see Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. I know he is a true prophet of God. We can help in so many ways, and going on a mission has helped me know those many ways.
Until next time.....
Love, Sister Prue
