Joshua 1:9

June 5, 2012

On Wednesday we had a lesson with a really awesome family in one of our wards.  (There was a miscommunication with the ward mission leader, so we had a lesson with an active family instead of a less-active or part member family.)  Anyway, this family all sings.  I had heard that they were good singers, but I was blown away when they sang a song at the end of the lesson.  The music was beautiful, and their voices were absolutely wonderful.  There was such power in what they were singing.  I felt the Spirit so strongly!  I know that it was partially the music, partially their talent, and mostly their testimonies that helped convey such a strong witness of God's love for all of us.

I made snickerdoodles for our investigators.  Everyone absolutely loves them! 

On Friday we had choir practice for a musical fireside.  Next Sunday we are having a fireside in Bountiful.  I love being able to be a part of the choir and seeing how music can truly soften people's hearts.  I am hoping that some of the people we are teaching will be able to come.

On Sunday, our two new investigators both came to church!  It was very exciting to know that they were there and that they were able to meet people in their wards.  Unfortunately, they both had church at the same time, so my companion and I were only able to go with one of them to church.  I am looking forward to talking to both of them in our upcoming lessons to see how church went and what they learned and felt while they were there.  I know that the Spirit can answer so many questions and concerns that people have.  I know that as I am doing all I can to invite the Spirit into my life, I will be better able to accomplish what I am called to do.

On Monday I got two letters!  It was exciting to hear from both Teresa and Jon on the same day.  Thank you for your letters! My wall is now decorated with pictures of family and inspiration quotes.  It is great.

So this  isn't very interesting as far as missionary work goes, but Sister Loketi and I are doing our best to find more people to teach.  It is always better when we are teaching and helping others keep commitments.  It is difficult to find those who are ready.

I know that what I am doing is right.  Heavenly Father's plan of happiness is meant for everyone.  I know that by sharing the message of joy and hope, I can help others gain a new perspective on life and have the chance to receive the blessings of eternity.  The Gospel truly is Good News!
