Alright Family!
It's so good to
hear from you guys!! I'm glad that you are enjoying the warm weather because it
is absolutely freezing over here :) Way to go Mads in your basketball games! 4
point play?? That's my girl! I can't believe you're almost done with your
season. Good luck with the rest of it! How long will Katie and Trevor be living
with you guys? Sounds like it's going to be a party! I'm excited
to hear how the basement goes. I love it when dad gets new ideas :)
This week has
been pretty good! I realize that I say that a lot haha but things usually just
are :) We had a lot more finding this week than we did last week but we had a
lot of neat experiences and were able to find joy in the work. One thing
that I have learned while being out here is to expect miracles. When
we are being obedient and doing the best that we can the Lord WILL
bless us. We had been finding in Dudley for a solid forty-minutes and were
having very little success. It was cold and windy, we had had a long day, and
we were feeling pretty discouraged. I prayed that Heavenly Father would
help us and allow us to find someone that was interested in learning more. We
came to a road and I felt like we should cross the road and go a different way.
We did and the first person that we talked to was interested. His name is Wayne
and he is awesome! He told us that he has been thinking about going back
to church for the past three months but just hasn't gotten around to it. We
were able to teach him the Restoration and committed him to read and pray about
the Book of Mormon. It was such an amazing experience! I know that Heavenly
Father is aware of us and will give us the things that we need, but
only after the trial of our faith. We were also able to talk to a man
named Shah! He didn't seem very interested at first, but we were following
up with him later in the day and he is so excited! He has told his whole
family about us and is very interested in learning more :) I'm
so grateful for experiences like these that make every long day, and
every difficult moment worth it.
The subject line
for this week comes from Doctrine and Covenants 4:2. "Therefore, O ye
that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart,
might, mind, and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God and the last
day." We recite this section every morning along with our purpose and it
has come to mean a great deal to me. I love having that constant reminder
every morning that I am part of this marvelous work. I know that this work is
not about me and that it never will be. I'm so grateful that I have this
opportunity to give all that I have and all that I am to building up
the kingdom of God. I love my Saviour and I'm so grateful for his perfect
example.
Thank you guys for all
of your love and support! I hope you have an amazing week!
love,
sister wilde
