Dear Family,
It sounds like you have all been doing
really well. Lots of changes have happened here as well. I am still in
Papillion but I have a new companion. She is great. Her name is Sister
Fuller. She is from mesa Arizona. I still get to be a STL and I am very
excited to serve with Sister Fuller. They sisters need her charity and
strength. I know I will learn a lot from her.
Since this week was the last week of transfers we ran completely
out of miles. haha so we had to walk everywhere. I loved it. We had been
praying to find people to teach. It is cool to see how the spirit
really does guide you even though in the moment you don't usually
realize it. We were walking to an investigators house and decided to
talk a different road. Then, we saw all these news papers all over the
street so we picked them all up and then we were looking for a recycling
bin. We then saw this lady who was taking her garbage can out to the
street. So we ran up and asked her if we could pit it in there. It was
perfect timing. We then talked to her about the book of Mormon. She had
actually been to church with a member a couple years ago and wanted to
know a little more about it. She currently attends a church but she said
we could come back! My whole mission I have really struggled with
learning to rely on the spirit. I know that if we are working hard and
being obedient the Lord will guide us even if we don't realize it.
Since Sister Larson was leaving she got to go say goodbye to people
and bear her testimony. It is weird how the work halts for a little
when missionaries leave an area, but I am praying that our investigators
will continue to progress. We saw George and unfortunately he was told a
lot of anti Mormon stuff. It broke my heart. You could tell he knew
everything we taught him was true but he is just afraid of change. We
will continue to pray for him and to go stop by. Ali on the other hand
is doing so great! She came to church with us this last week and we had a
really awesome lesson with her. She knew like all the answers to my
questions. It was so cute to see her reading personal progress and true
to the faith doing sacrament meeting. She just is so prepared and
naturally wants to do the right thing even though her family is making
poor decisions. It is very inspiring. I am so grateful for the
opportunity to teach her.
Another neat thing that happened this week was the day of
transfers. I was just a little over whelmed taking on the area and the
sisters by myself and making sure transfers went smoothly for all the
sisters. The night before I was praying for help. Sister Larson was
suppose to leave to Sioux City in the morning but she ended up having to
wait till that evening to leave. So, she got to spend to day with
Sister Fuller and I. We got to figure everything out together and so I
didn't feel as stressed. It was such a tender mercy.
We also had some less actives attend church yesterday and one of
them told us she wanted to work towards the temple. There is honestly
nothing I would rather do than help someone receive the blessings of the
temple. I know Papillion has so much potential. I am grateful for the
miracles we have seen and excited to see more.
I love you all have a wonderful week. :)
With love, Sister Page
