i Team,
Happy
Birthday Dad! I hope you are having the greatest day so far! I hope all
of you are having a great day as well; I am! I am still so excited
about the Historic Broadcast yesterday. Did you all watch it? It was
pretty incredible! Sister Dickson and I were making guesses beforehand
of what it could be. We called everything besides keeping the church
unlocked for church tours. We are so excited for everything and cannot
wait for it to take effect! I am especially excited about the tablets.
It will make missionary work so much easier. And organized! And I love
orginazation.
What I really loved about the Broadcast is the emphasis
of both the members and missionaries to be unified in purpose; which is
"to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them recieve the
restored Gospel through faith in Jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism,
recieving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end". Some of
the members in my ward have already took action in helping people come
unto Christ. I hope that all of you will do so too! Just by your
example, you are helping to build the Kingdom of God!
Here is a quick update of my week:
Carmin,
the less active we work with invited us over for Dinner on Monday. We
had delicious Thai food. We come over on Wednesday and spackled her
wall. We talked about Ether 12; which we assigned her to read and she
loved it. She said a beautiful prayer. It was her first prayer in a long
time and she was so nervous but she did great!
We had a lesson at Geocanda Loza's home. She is a less
active and we teach her non member family each week. We came over and
were able to get to know her a bit better and her background. It turns
out that she knows 100% that the Gospel is true. She just does not want
her family to go to 2 seperate churches so she goes to the Catholic
Church. We talked about Temples and that that is the ultimate goal we
will help her family reach. She is looking forward to that and also to
do work for her deceased ancestors in the temple. She told us how much
she loves hymns and that her favorite is "I stand all amazed".
Geocanda came to church on Sunday and sat by us! The
Sacrament hymn was "I Stand All Amazed". Wow! Heavenly Father really is
aware of her. And each of us! She shared a beautiful testimony in Sunday
School about sharing the Gospel through her example. I imagine she is
going be back in the church from now on :)
On Wednesday we have a WHOLE mission Conference; which
never happens. It is because they are splitting our mission so Wednesday
will be the last time I see the missionaries that are going to the
Richmond, VA Mission. Sister Mannchen is leaving, but I am not sure
about who else is leaving the Washington DC South Mission.
Well that is all for this week. It was kind of a hard
week. I think it is because school just got out. But I am looking
forward to many miracles and amazing things happening this week. My
invitation to all of you is to write your testimony in a Book of Mormon.
Pray about who you can give it to and give it to them. I will be
following up with you next week! And I promise that as you do so that
you will be guided by the Spirit to know what to say and that you WILL
NOT FAIL!
“Don’t worry about being successful. We are going to be successful—there is no doubt about it. The Lord has sent us to earth at the time of harvest. He does not expect us to fail. He has called no one to this work to fail. He expects us to succeed.”
-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I hope you all have a great week as you keep missionary work in your hearts and minds.
Love,
Sister Lindmeir
