They are after us!!!

So the other day i was on exchanges with a Sister and we were Knocking doors and it was probably 8:00 at night, so not too late. We knocked on this one door who's lights were on and this dog starts barking really loud inside and is like going crazy! then this lady starts talking and she seems really scared and she asks us who we are and we tell her the Sister missionaries through the door and i don't think that she could hear us because she seemed really scared still and then she yells out, i am calling the police! we were like ya probs not. not really believing her because tons of people say things like that to missionaries. So we keep on knocking doors and then this lady lets us in and we teach her a lesson.when we got out of the lesson, We were late to go exchange back with our companions and we were far away from our car so we start running but then stopped because we saw this car behind us that had this bright light that was going back and fourth like he was trying to look for something. finally he stops his car and comes out and asks us what we were doing and we told him that we were missionaries and that we were sharing the Gospel and he was like well i got this call from this lady and she was so scared and was saying that there were two robbers on her front porch!  i am not sure what kind of robbers look as sweet as us that have name tags on and big bright smiles. We felt bad that we scared her so much, but it was pretty funny that she sent the Sheriff after us. He asked us for all our information so that he could probably do a background check. So family and friends, if i don't return home in two weeks, i am probably in jail sharing the Gospel :)

Jacobs Baptism was on saturday and it was amazing! he is going to be such a strong member of the church! his family is super anti and they didn't want him to get baptized but he knew that it is true and that he needed to follow the example of Jesus Christ. He bore his testimony after he was baptized and it was amazing! nothing brings you more joy then helping someone come to the truth, and helping them see what joy, peace,and happiness comes from being a member of Christs church! It was a lovely day!

It's crazy that whenever you have a baptism, satan always tries his hardest to make everything fall through, and hopes that it is a miserable week for you and your investigators! it definitly was not a miserable week but he tried really hard to bring us down. It didn't work, just more excited to do better this week and help all to come to the truth! I can't believe i am running out of time! it is the worst! I love you family and friends but i love being a missionary! I can't believe it!

#Giving all i got! Running to the tape! Holding nothing back from helping all those come unto our savior!

I love you all! have a great week! Love Sister Lindmeir

Is it springtime already?!

For the past two days it has been so sunny and beautiful outside. I don't know what it is about the sun but whenever it comes out it makes me extra happy and all i want to do as we go from door to door is sing glorious hymns!

Last week was a lot better then the previous week. It seemed like everything was falling apart the week before. Like Fionna was moving to Alaska. We couldn't get a hold our investigators. Our appointments fell through. But we always know that whenever there is a bad day the is always a good day around the corner! Last week was that good day! Fionna is not moving to Alaska which we are so happy about! And the YSA is just on fire! We got 2 new investigators this week from the YSA and they are just awesome. People that are YSA age are just so humble and eager to learn more. We have a baptism this Saturday for Jacob and we are so excited! Jacob is a miracle! He was a refferral from another set of missionaries and we met him a little over two weeks ago. He is cruising through the book of Mormon and he says that whenever he prays to know if it is true, he can't stop smiling. The branch just really loves him a lot.

 One thing that i love so much about the church is that everyone in it is like your family. A lot of the people we teach come from broken families and they have never felt so welcome and loved before. The church is truly like coming back home for so many people. It just feels right!

Things are going well! i feel like Heavenly Father is and has been teaching me a lot this transfer. My companion and I are working hard and just giving everything we can and holding nothing back. 

I love y'all! have a great week! Love Sister Lindmeir

Surgery is legit!!!!

whats up family !!!? 

Well I had surgery yesterday around 2 o'clock they take good care of you it was vary nice they have comfy beds and the nurses were very cool Ha Ha. 

My letters going to sound weird because in not writing it my good friend Elder Campbell is writing It. So this week was awesome cant remember much right now because my head is spinning but we have been teaching William every single day this last week and hes getting baptised this Saturday !!! ya ya  hes a supper old guy hes not all the way their but man is he awesome I'm so pumped for him!!!!

I went on exchanges this week with Elder Bringhurst who is a master basher and doctrine fanatic!!!! and that night we taught ken and Corina and 1st thing they bring up is all the anti questions and concerns they have lucky i had elder Bringhurst to back me up and for the next two hours we taught and answered all the concerns until the last question exaltation  and then as soon as I'm about to answer Elder bringhurs wipes out his kitty journal that has well known christian leaders in the early centres before the nicen creed that talks about exaltation. and after he read these and testified all their concerns were answered . and now they are just praying to know if the book of Mormon is true .

     we had our zone training meeting that we had prepared for. it was to help the missionaries plan in second gear witch just means having them plan more tords using members every hour of the day and we made a little video I would send it to you but its to long its prity funny well family i love you so much thanks for the prayers and all you do.

have a great week God bless  

Elder Rivers is so cool.

what a cool letter from Rivers! no im not a boss he is! really though.

going to be a short email i have to plan for a meeting but, cool miracles are comming our way!!!!

the crazziest thing about it is how much i have to rely to the lord. this week was tough because only have a left arm you really cant do a lot. because as a missionary we take so many notes/thought/ideas for meetings, so this week preparing for this meeting was crazzy because my new comp is a new to this i have to tell him everything and he has to write it all down he has to plan while i just say what to do, so its been getting a little crazzy but, i tell you what. its a very humbling experience especially since i cant do everything i want too. but my heart is always full of the saviors love, and patience. and for that i am so greatful for him.

L

thanks family for all the prayers i know they guide me! well love you all and my only advice is the Lord will always provide.

WOOT WOOT GREENIE!

so i got my new greenie!!! or a mini missionary its only for 5 days and it has been insane!!!! good and bad!

so i learned quick that my mini missionary has a little anger probs.... reminded me of myself before the mission.

so i was pumped to help him over come that by putting him to WORK!!!! normally every missionary gets up at 6:30 but we get up at 5:30 so that made him mad, then we dont eat lunch, that made him mad. hahaha.

so for the first 2 days he was flustered. But now hes loving it!!!!!!! we have seen some amazing miracles!!!!

we just had all our lessons fall through and we prayed to find someone and the first door we knocked on was a 16 year old kid who 2 weeks ago we gave his older brother a book of mormon and kyle ( the little brother ) said they have been reading the book of mormon together every night!!!! like who does that?!!! its amazing!!! so we got in and tought a 15min resto and Jason the mini misisonary was just bearing hard core testamony!!!!!!!! and kyle the little brother totally accepted baptism.

then we ran over to our other investogators and set 2 more dates with them and jason was freaking out he said " i have never been so happy in my life!!!!!!!" and since that day he has never gotten mad, and some funny things have happened to him.

 

first story we were walking down an apartent complex when this lady comes out and asks us if we are mormon and jasons says "Yeah we are!!!!!" ( in a reallly proud and confident manner) and the lady walks to him and hocks a loogie in his ear!!!!! hahah not just a small bit but a full loogie!!! i dropped down laughing expexcting for him to scream back or do anything back but nope he laughed and what made him laugh even more was the fact that he dident get mad. as hes smiling with a loogie in his ear he says " wow that was weird im not even mad!!" haha the spirit is real!!!

 

there some other sweet experiences that happened but sorry family short letter today love you all!!! thatnks for everything!! love you all!

A Christmas Miracle!!!Sister Lindmeir

Christmas was so great! Sister Faulkner and I made a whole bunch of cookies and handed out to our Investigators and the people that we thought might need some. On our way to drop off some cookies, we parked across the street from a trailer Park, where perhaps we should not have parked. when we got out of the car this lady across the street said you probably shouldn't park there, we were like okay we will move but before we moved we started talking to her and she was like "oh my, i love the LDS it has the best Geneology ever" we Told her about the family history center and she was so thrilled! He name is Feonna and she is from Ireland and she has the best accent ever! Apparently people from Ireland love family history so much! She said we could come back the next day and tell her more about it and give her the address. On Friday we came back and we thought that Feonna was just interested in the family history but when we sat down she asked us if we could share a message with her. We were like oh ya! we taught Feonna the restoration and soft committed her to baptism and she accepted. We left her with 3 Nephi 11 to read which is when Jesus Christ appears to the people in the America's and teaches them. We told Feonna that we were going to be in the area on saturday and asked if it was alright if we could follow up with her reading, she said okay. we came back on saturday and Feonna was waiting for us, she let us in and there were tears in her eyes. She kept apologizing that she was crying but she couldn't help it because of the way she felt as she read the Book of Mormon. She went on and on about when Christ taught the people in the America's. She told us that when she read that chapter she said that she felt like positive energy light orbs were touching her as she read. It was an amazing lesson with her! We told Feonna that we are having a baptisimal service on january 17th and before we could even ask her to prepare herself for that date, she said "wow January 17th, i will prepare myself for that day". It was so cool!

Then yesterday Feonna came to church and she loved is so much! The whole time she was like, wow this is so fascinating and interesting! then at church she kept telling everyone how the Lord led us Girlies (thats what she calls us) to her and she told us that she thinks why she was led to move here away from Ireland was because of this! She felt such a pull to come here! Then during relief society she was making all the ladies laugh because she is hilarious and her accent is awesome! after relief society tons of the women came up to her and were like we love you so much Feonna already! we hope you come next week! She said that she will!

Feonna is a miracle! When we first met her, we would have never even thought that she was so prepared. It is so great that Heavenly Father truly puts you in the path of the prepared! Feonna is so great and we already love her so much and so does the ward!

So many miracles are happening and i am loving the work! We got transfer calls last week and i get to stay! i am so happy!!! This area is where i first began my mission life and it is going to be where i end it. i am so glad Heavenly Father let me come back and that i get to witness these miracles. I love you so much everybody and i hope that you have a great week! Love Sister Lindmeir
