Hi Friends!
There is so much to talk about;
this week was amazing! It was particularly amazing because spring is
definitely here...finally! Yesterday was the first day I took off the
tights!!!!
We had two exchanges this week! Sister Egbert from
Vienna Ward worked with me in Oakmarr. We ran from appointment to
appointment and it was great! We even met two women with their dogs in
front of their house between appointments. we talked to them about what
we do and tried to give them a Book of Mormon. They wouldn't take it,
but then we testified boldly and one of the women said right before we
left, "actually, can I take one of those books?" and we were like "Of
Course". It was great and we will be following up soon!
Second exchange was with Sister Akin in Herndon! We
went to a couple appointments and then we checked on a few people. At
one point, we were driving and it was at night time. It was in this
little neighborhood and there was this group of men staring us down in
the car. We turned around so quickly and drove away! It was a bit
terrifying! Sorry mom if that is scary for you!
We had interviews with President Riggs this week and
they were amazing! I had a couple questions about the Priesthood and
President Riggs answered them perfectly! I feel the Spirit every time I
am around him; He is going to be a general authority someday! President
Riggs also double checked to see if my departure date is the same and it
is. I was hoping for an extra transfer, but no luck!
President Uchtdorf came to Church on Sunday! Elder
Faust's son and his family are in our ward, so General Authorities often
come to the Oakmarr ward! It was so neat to have him there! The Spirit
was so strong and I was so grateful for that opportunity! I even shook
his hand and then talked to Sister Uchtdorf for a minute! I told her
that my grandpa is from Heppenheim and she got very excited and she said
that is close to where she is from! She said that it is beautiful
there!
President Riggs has received revelation and feels
strongly that the missionaries teach the members the missionary
discussions, so we have been doing that the past few months. We taught
the Yost's in our ward the Plan of Salvation a few weeks ago and it was
great! She started talking to one of her neighbors recently and her
neighbor was struggling because she just lost a loved one. Sister Yost
was able to teach her parts of the Plan of Salvation and share her
testimony. I love the promise from President Eyring that say's that "The
Lord will put people in the path of his prepared servants who want to
share the Gospel". Because Sister Yost was prepared and she had a
desire, she was given the opportunity!
So this week is especially exciting because we are
celebrating Christ's last week on earth. The Church is celebrating
Christ Resurrection to the whole world. I have posted something on
facebook and I invite you to share this with everyone on facebook using
#becauseofhim . It will be the best thing ever! I am so grateful to know
that Christ lives, he loves us and that #becauseofhim I can be happy
FOREVER!!!! Love you all!!!
Love, Sister Lindmeir
