HELLO TEAM,
Hope all of you had a great
Memorial Day! Sorry that I never gave you a warning that I would not
email you. I did'nt even know it was a holiday on Monday until a few
days before. It is easy to lose track of days. But anways, I am grateful
that I was able to read your emails and that I can write you today. And
I have a lot to write about! It was an exciting week last week!
Here are some of the Tender Mercies from this week:
We
went to go visit a less active in our ward but he moved. His son still
lived there and said that his father would not be interested and that he
was not interested. His wife was there and was telling us that we need
to go away because their kids had not ate dinner yet. We kindly left,
but they had not shut the door yet. By the time we walked off of their
yard and hear the women say. "They are Mormons?". And soon enough we see
the women jet out of her house and come and talk to us. She told us
that she is a High School Teacher and that there are some mormons in her
classes. She said that she is amazed by how incredible those kids are.
That they wake up so early for early-morning seminary and they still
work hard and get great grades. Those kids have told her about how they
are going to serve a mission and how hard it is and what they do. She
wanted to tell Sister Hills and I that she was so impressed by our
church and by the missionary program. She thanked us for all our hard
work and examples we have led. It was so kind and it brought me to
tears. It taught me an important lesson: That you never know who is
watching you and the effect of the example you have on others. I want
all of you to remember that.
We had another Lesson with the Loza family. And it was
incredible! We brought Bro. and Sis. Goehring in our Ward to the lesson
and we talked a little about the Book of Mormon. We sang a hymn at first
to invite the spirit and it was there the whole lesson. Gus Loza was
talking about how he is having a hard time right now because his father
is passing away. I thought of Alma chapter 38 and we all read it
together. He was amazed by how that is exactly what he needed. Brother
Goehring testified of the power of the Book of Mormon and that he needs
Gus in church and that Gus needs them. It was so powerful.
We went to the temple yesterday with Sister Wood. She
was a less active and in the past few months everything has changed. She
read through the whole Book of Mormon for the first time in her life
and at that point she said she knew it was true. Sister Wood loves
family History and so we were able to go and perform ordinances for her
ancestors. It was incredible and she was grateful that we helped her get
to that point.
This morning in District Meeting, I ate a cicada! Our
District Leader caught some live Cicada's this morning for us to eat. He
boiled, then baked, then dipped them in Chocolate. I was amazed by how
good they are. They tasted like Chocolate covered raisins. So Marcus and
Shivani probably would'nt like them (Or is it only GOLDEN raisins that
you don't like?)
Well that is all folks. Keep staying and that "strait and narrow path" (1 NE 8).
Love,
Sister Lindmeir
