Dear Family and Friends!
Sister Pulsipher is going home today :( so if am in Statesboro GA
till Tuesday once I get me new companion in Macon. Then it is back to Beaufort!
I really love Beaufort and I am so glad that I am staying.
We have so many lessons this past week! We taught Jeanette and
Jeanetta three times! Jeanette is doing great! When we taught her about the WOW
and the Law of Chasity she was so funny! She was like "WHAAAAT!?!? I got
to give up my sweet tea and now my men too?!?" haha! But she committed and
is staying strong because she wants to receive those blessings. She really
liked learning about the Temple and would love to go there one day! Hopefully
her heart will be soften enough so she will accept baptism by the proper
authority. :) Remember Coco? Well she has been there whenever we teach but
hides from us. Until we started talking about the Law of Chasity. She came out
and stated agreeing with us and really liked the idea of having respect from
men when you respect yourself. Since then she has been very nice to us and her
while demeanor changed! We found out that 3 years ago she was being taught by
Elders and when she was ready to be baptized she couldn't because she wasn't
keeping commitments, so she got offended and that is how she became anti. But
by showing her love and that she can make a better life for herself, her heart
has softened. :) This Gospel can do anything!
We met this girl named Tyler and she wants to get
baptized! woot! She is working on quitting smoking and she choose March 15 to
be baptized! We are very excite for her and are working with her to help her
stop! :)
I have had a wonderful experience this past week where
I have been an answer to someone’s prayers/questions. A member told us her
amazing conversion story and how it took over 10 years for her husband to agree
to let her join. She is so incredible and I love her very much! :) She
has always wondered how do we give God 100%. When she started asking us this I
had a stream of thoughts and personal experiences come into my head and I felt
like I needed to share them with her... so of course I shared them with her
cause that is what the spirit is telling me to do. :) I told her about making
our will, God's will. And how it is a choice of our agency to do that and by
doing that it makes us more free and happy. I than told her the WHOLE story
about how and why I chose to serve a mission. She was deeply touched and so
excited to learn more! :) She told me that in 40 years no one has been able to answer
her question. I felt deeply honored and blessed to be the one who was able to.
(through the spirit though!)
Well I hope you are all doing great and always smiling! :) I love
you lots! :)
