Hey Family!
Alot of things happened last week! it was a really crazy, funny,
hard, and sad in some ways week! On Monday last week we had an amazing
lesson with a part member family. There two daughters michelle and
natalie are 14 and 15 and the mom is a really less active member. we
taught them the restoration and it was so cool. we told them about the
book of mormon and they said they would read it and pray about it! they
are so golden! they love everything about what we have been teaching
them! and we hope to put them on date for baptism tonight when we teach
them the plan of salvation! Tuesday, my companion was really sick!
Wednesday was a rough day because everything was falling through and
nothing was going right and then we found out that are most progressing
investigator is involved in homo-sexual relationships and we didn't know
that. then that same night me and my companion get a a voice mail from
the president telling us to call him as soon as we can! we call him and
he asks if we can cover our ward and another ward because the elders in
that ward got transferred suddenly! so on thursday we pick up all the
elders information from the eastmont ward and start looking at it and
start trying to figure out how we are going to cover two wards. we look
in the area book, which holds all the information for everyone you teach
and find out that the elders didnt up date the book so we had no idea
who they were teaching, what they have been teaching, and where anybody
lives! so we call the ward missionary leader and the bishop to try to
help us figure out who the missionaries have been teaching but they were
both out of town. so all weekend we felt pretty lost haha. then on
sunday we figured everything out though so we are good now! Sunday night
we had a lesson with this lady named tera. Tera has family in our ward
and went to church with them last week and loved it. she has a little
daughter and she really wants to have religion in her life. we were able
to have the lesson in her families home and it went so well! we taught
her the restoration, she told us shebelieved everything that we were
telling us and that it all made sense to her because she has great faith
in Gpd and Jesus Christ. We told her about the bbook of Mormon and she
said she would read it and then we invited her to be baptized for
november 16th and she said Yes! then she said the most amazing prayer at
the end of the lesson that i have ever heard! it was so cool and this
was just the first lesson!!!!!! Right after that lesson, we had a lesson
with Brianna and Summer, who we have been teaching for four weeks now
and that were on date for baptism for November 2. we taught them the
plan of salvation last night and we asked them what Jesus Christ means
to them. they both said nothing and that they didn't know anything about
him. Stab in my heart because all we have been doing for the past four
weeks has been telling them everything that Christ did for us. So Sister
Fletcher starts baring her testimony about Jesus Christ and it was so
amazing that i was so overcome with the spirit that i just start crying
and then i bore my testimony about Christ too. i have never felt the
spirit so strongly in my life and i know that everything that me and my
companion said was from the holy ghost and we know it was what the Lord
wanted us to say. coolest experience ever!
i hope everyone is doing amazing!
Love Sister Lindmeir
