Hello Team Sister Lindmeir,
I have learned many lessons this week.
Lesson #1: If you decide to go on a mission, become Gluten free first. I
am so grateful that I cannot eat gluten, because we have been bombarded
with every kind of cake and cookie this week from all the members. I
kind of feel bad for my companions, but I am so grateful that I cannot
eat any of it :). However; these members know how to feed us so well and
so I am still gaining weight :(
Lesson #2: If you decide to go to an old folks home, make sure you can sing first.
We went to GreenSpring this week and we sang for about an hour. I was
off in every key and I was squealing and screeching. And I just kept
thinking that I am so grateful that I am singing for the people with
Alzheimer's because they will forget it in a couple minutes. I don't
know if the nurses will let us back next week though haha!
Lesson
#3: (This is for all those men that pass the Sacrament). Make sure the
Sacrament tablecloth gets washed every once in a while. We did
church tours this week and the Chapel smelled so bad! It smelled like
Urine and was very rotten. Turns out that it was all coming from the
tablecloths that were sitting in the humid chapel. So gross. Thankfully,
a kind women in my ward offered to clean them and spent SIX whole hours
doing it.
Lesson #4: Faith = Miracles. Monday
through Saturday, appointments fell through, lessons did not go well, I
was sick and each night we were writing zero's in our key
indicator's. I was feeling defeated, frustrated, and upset. We felt like
we had tried everything, but there was just nothing good happening.
However; yesterday was a different day! Two of our investigators came to
church, and it was great!!! One was actually not an investigator yet,
but we had a lesson with him after church and he became an investigator.
His name is Ahsan and he is sooo prepared; he has such a desire to
learn more about the Gospel. My companions and I began to feel our faith
increasing and we decided that we would find one more investigator
yesterday, and we did!!! After that, we knew that if we had the faith,
we could find two more investigators and that is exactly what we did. So
in total yesterday, we found FOUR new investigators in just 3 hours! I
then realized what made last night so different from any other day of
the week. I had the faith that we could find 4 investigators. It
reminded me of a scripture in Mathew 17:20. Christ said that "If ye have
faith as a grain of Mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible unto
you". I know that that is true!
Have
the faith that you can help people come unto Christ. Have the faith
this week to share your testimony with a friend, a neighbor or anyone
else! I know that "The Lord will put prepared people in the path of his
prepared servants". You will have the opportunity as you prepare
yourself.
I love you all!!!
Love,
Sister Kiana Lindmeir
