This week, we had sisters spend a day with us as we visited less active families and guess what?! We met a sister who is from.... guess where..... CLINTON!!! It reminded me that there are specific people here that I have been sent to help. We both couldn't believe it. We laughed and bonded as we talked about recent changes in the city over the past 5 years and she gladly accepted to come back to church. We'll keep working with her and strengthening her testimony so she doesn't lose that desire.
It is so fulfilling to see
less-actives who you are working with come back to church. We had
another sister with many many trials who has recently started coming
back. I feel so much joy when I see her come to church and understand the gospel.
Each week reading her emails, makes me re-commit to doing what I can in motivating myself, my family and the young women over whom I have stewardship, to reach out to everyone--those who currently participate fully in the church, those who have fallen away for any reason, and those who don't yet know or understand the gospel. It is the shot in the arm I frequently need! Thank goodness for good missionaries and good daughters!!
Their favorite place to eat :)
I do not know why these missionaries chose the zombie look !:)
