Helllooo everyone!
This week I got to have the truly awesome opportunity to
be Companions with Elder Guthrie! Let me tell you a bit about him. He is from
Blythe, California and loves the work! While we don't really have too much in
common, we both love The Lord :). It's actually pretty funny, Elder Guthrie is
totally quiet and doesn't really say much, unless Josh Groban starts playing
then he starts Belting it! I was so shocked when I first heard him, I hadn't
really heard his voice too much and then this, it was awesome! We now rock out
to Josh Groban all of the time and have fun with that :)
Our investigators in Butte are doing really awesome too!
This last week we had another awesome lesson with our investigator, Andrea! I'm
not sure if I've told you guys about her yet but she is so awesome! We taught
her the Plan of salvation this last time and she loves it! The coolest thing is
that most of the stuff that we taught she already believed and knew to be true,
like how we lived with Heavenly Father before this time and that thanks to
Christ we can live with him again! It's really fun to teach her because apparently her
sister is a recent convert in Ohio and has really impacted her sister (that we
are teaching) :). I'm really excited about her too because we
have another lesson lined up with her for this Wednesday and we have both the
Relief Society president and the Primary president coming with us to fellowship
her :). She rocks!
This week was also my first week being District Leader
and it's definitely less stressful that I thought it would be :) While planning
District Meetings can still be a little stressful, I love getting the
opportunity to truly know each of he missionaries in my district and help
minister to them :). It has been amazing as I have met with each of them, set
goals with them, and help them continue to come closer to Christ :). One of my
favorite things so far has been talking with them about their investigators and
less actives and truly seeing the love that they all have for the people that
they are working with :). Amazing!
I'm sorry that I don't have too much time for a spiritual
thought today, but I will bear my testimony:). I know that this church is true. I have had people yell at me, throw things at me, and
tell me that I cannot know that and that I am a liar. But I have felt the spirit
testify too powerfully to deny that I know that this church is true. I know
that God is our loving Heavenly Father. And I know that he continues to guide
us, just like he did in times of old with Prophets and Apostles. I am so
thankful for our savior Jesus Christ, who died for all of us, so that we can
live with Heavenly Father again. :) I love this gospel and love all of you!
Never give up, Never Surrender!
