HELLO
We've been serving at the food bank a lot recently & we usually are there at the same time as Barbara! She's an older lady and last time she asked us to sing her a "christian song" as we stuffed envelopes. We sang "I am a child of God" and guys. My quad cannot sing. At all. AT ALL. But I swear there were angels singing for us HAHA straight up did not sound like us. Barbara was so precious about it too.
A true angel.
Deborah: the runaway baptizee... has been meeting with us again and we are just going nice and SLOOOOW with her. We've been having member present lessons and hoping she makes friends so she feels more comfortable at church. It's been going super good & HOPEFULLY she comes to church in person instead of over zoom.
Mary jane can speak in tongues!!! So can Kelly!! And Autumn!! And all the other lovely people we meet here........ hehe we love the pentecostal church.
One cute little thing about Mary jane though, is that she has the most ginormous tongue I have truly ever seen. And she really likes to just flop that thing all over when we are teaching her... Also she doesn't have any teeth!! Jealous.
Zena is absolutely loving the Book of Mormon and is already telling all her friends about it and how it's "Such a good read!!" Precious.
Also she & everyone else in Louisiana pronounces Nephi as napuh. I love it.
Annie came to church AGAIN!!!!
GUYS these verses in Acts chapter 5 are quite possibly the best verses I read all week!!!!!
"And they departed from the presence of the council, REJOICING that they were counted WORTHY to SUFFER SHAME FOR HIS NAME.
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they CEASED NOT to teach and preach Jesus Christ."
When people try to bring you down for your beliefs, REJOICE that they even noticed!! That you were an EXAMPLE of JESUS CHRIST!!! God's glory >>>>>>> worldly praise
CEASE NOT to TEACH and PREACH!!!!!! The gospel is the most important thing, don't EVER let anyone stop you from spreading it.
"Preach the gospel at all times and if necessary use words."
I got absolutely SHREDDED by Sister Wilson the other day. We were just casually talking about clothes and shopping when she LOOKS ME UP & DOWN then proceeds to roast me saying "it's pretty obvious which Missionaries have lots of money, and which ones are just scraping by. You're just scraping by aren't ya?" UHH OKAAAAAY THANKS SISTER WILSON!!
yes. yes i am.
Maybe I shouldn't buy clothes from the thrift store anymore.... apparently it's obvious.
Sister Wilson truly is an ANGEL though.
She really struggles remembering things so at this point she has her own language that we've come to understand.
A Sister Wilson sentence: "I forgot to buy... salad dressing to decorate the.... ice cream... car.... things!!"
Translation: "I forgot to buy frosting to decorate the christmas tree cookies"
Basically I can also speak in tongues???
We walked around ULM campus and it was a BLAST. I did NOT like talking to new people before the mission, but LOOK AT ME NOW!! I genuinely think it's so fun to just go up to a random group of people and start talking to them??? Call me Amanda Bennion??? (miss you girl) Heavenly Father is BLESSING me & answering my thousands of prayers DAILY!!!
DON'T FORGET TO STUDY YOUR SCRIPTURES!!
