Hello all!
I hope you had a great week!
It was quite an eventful week- we did the usual thing..... sharing the word of God, you know, it was a lot of funn:)
We were able to have some really good teaching appointments this week, and we were able to set two baptism dates.
Emily and Kylie, are two sisters who expressed the desire to baptized from the moment we started teaching them- last week we were able to set a date with them! After much prayer and consideration- we came up with April 26th, so coming soon....two baptisms! and the family is really excited to learn more and have the family come- plans have started to be made to ensure that everyone can come. The parents, Lisa( the mom)- is LA, and the her husband, John( nonmember) are now interested in meeting with us because of their daughters interest. It was such a miracle! We're so blessed in this area.
We were also able to have more members come to lessons with us- all of them are so willing to come and help us. We have an amazing ward. I hope you all are able to seeing miracles happen in your homes and ward as well. We also had a great turnout at church too, I happened to be giving a talk too on ...you guessed it! "Missionary work"- it was a tough talk for me to do hahaha!
It went well, and we had enjoyable sunday too. Another high council member spoke too, Brother Chatfield. He was a good speaker as well.
So lots of good lessons, good contacts with people, and many miracles. I apologize if this short compared the rest of the entries so far- short on time.
A few things coming up:
1. " Why I believe" fireside( I'll actually be performing a solo in it, with another sister who is playing the violin.So I'm excited! It should be good, and lots of people are going to come...so perfect "missionary opportunity" to invite everyone too.
2. My 6th month mark was on March,15. So I have a year left- can't wait to see what the year has in store. Being a missionary is great! :)
3. I was able to finish the " 85 day challenge" to read the BOM( Book Of Mormon) and I have seen my faith grow and grow and the love I have for my savior has deepened. I know that the Book Of Mormon it as another testament of Jesus Christ, and that he is there with us every step of the way to help us with whatever trial we need help with. I hope you all are taking the opportunity to read your scriptures everyday, they truly do provide us the strength we need to accomplish all things.
oh, and fun fact: I learned that I do not like scorpions. There was a scorpion in our bathroom last saturday night....I was kinda freaking out. Sister Dyson didn't quite believe me until she came in and saw it on the floor hiding in my towel haha so she killed it thank goodness( I didn't have the guts too- still freaking out lol I know I'm a wimp...I'll admit to that! ) and then we were able to go to sleep. At least Sister Dyson did haha but everything was okay...I learned that I do not like bugs/spiders/ any creepy crawly thing especially at night time around bed time(10:30)
so that was my week- I hope you all had a great week and that your doing well :)
Until next week,
Sister Nicole Matchett
