"Time is one
of the blessings we are given." -Neal A Maxwell
Oh my goodness, the
days keep flying by don't they? It seems like it was just yesterday I got to
Gainesville and now it's the end of the transfer. And today, I have exactly 3
months left on my mission. Isn't that crazy? I
fly home August 8th. 2 transfers left. I am going to make the most of
them!!!
This week was a
great week. We had so many miracles!
This week when we
were knocking we met these 2 guys from China and they were really interested
since neither of them had been raised religious and they wanted to know more
about God. We taught them that God was their Heavenly Father who loved them and
they had so many amazing questions! We invited them to pray and one of them
said his first prayer! Then we got to go back and see them again and they were
so excited to see us! We taught them the Plan of Salvation and they loved it
and had more amazing questions. Then the other one said his first prayer ever! They
were simple and beautiful prayers. It is such a miraculous experience to teach
people who have never learned anything about God before. They are such great
people and we can't wait to see where they go!
Also this week, we
got back into contact with one of our favorite investigators. He is having a
hard time but we finally met with him and he came to the YSA devotional last
night! He is a great guy with lots of questions. We hope he gets baptized. He
took a pic with us!
Also this week, our
recent convert had a medical emergency and he's okay now but couldn't come to
church and it was scary since he's so solid and amazing. Please keep him in
your prayers! He needs all the help he can get with that.
We had a tradeoff
this week also with the Sister Training Leaders. It was so weird since this was
my first tradeoff since being an STL and I felt like I should be conducting it
haha but it was a nice experience. We found 3 new amazing people to teach that
day!
We also got to have
interviews with the mission President this week and it was so wonderful. I love
our mission President. He is such a great man and he helps us all so
much!
Something funny
that happened this week was that we got a phone call and it was one of our old
investigators who had run into the Elders and so decided to call us, with the
Elders on speakerphone! Haha we were so confused and they were all 3 talking
and we could not figure out for the life of us who had called (since she told
us she wasn't interested) but it was hilarious! We laughed about
that one for a while.
Well I hope y'all
have a great week! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in my life!
Love,
Sister Caton
