Hey Family!
Hope
you all are enjoying this July 4th 2013! Things are going great! I
love being here in Park City and I'm still serving at the Family Tree
Center.
Yesterday while
Sister Villoso and I were working at the Family Tree our new mission
president, President Eberhardt and his wife and the assistants came into
the Family Tree. It was great to be able to meet them. We gave the
assistants a tour.
This
morning has been great. We went with the Spanish speaking sisters, and
the Elders to a breakfast at the Park City Park. It is a fundraiser
for the boy scouts in the Park City Stake. They do it every year. They
let us eat for free! And it was a really good breakfast. We actually
parked out car at the spanish sister's apartment and walked up to Main
Street. They have a parade here on Main Street. Then we'll head down
to Salt Lake for a mission conference. And we'll be able to meet more
of the missionaries in our mission.
So
this week we've been teaching Bryanda. She has been taught in the past
and she hasn't really been committing to doing anything, like going to
church or reading the Book of Mormon. So we just opened up to 2 Nephi
31 and read the whole chapter with her. And she really liked it and
wanted to read more. She says that she has a hard time reading and
understanding what she is reading. So we are going to try and go over
everyday if we can and read with her. And she loves it and wants to be
taught the lessons. And she said she is really looking forward to her
baptism. YEAH!!!! The Spirit is really guiding our companionship. Also
we've been tracting this week. Our district leader told us to tract an
hour a day. And no one! But we just keep going. My companion is
pretty awesome. No one can be mad at her! She is so sweet and nice!
In my Book of Mormon reading I'm in 3 Nephi. And I read chapter 11 the other day and I love these verses.
11
And behold, I am the alight and the life of the world; and I have drunk
out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have
glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the
which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the
beginning.
12 And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words the
whole multitude fell to the earth; for they remembered that it had been
prophesied among them that Christ should show himself unto them after
his ascension into heaven.
13 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto them saying:
14
Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my
side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and
in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of
the whole dearth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
15 And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust
their hands into his side, and did feel the prints of the nails in his
hands and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one
until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel
with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it
was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come.
I love how it says that they saw Jesus Christ.
They felt the prints of the nails in His hands and feel. And they
know who He is. I was thinking, we can't see Jesus Christ, but we know
He is there. It is through the atonement of Jesus Christ that we can
come to know Him. It is His sacrifice that allows us to be able to
repent and progress. He is the only way. He loves us so much that He
wants us to come to Him and let Him help us. But we must do our part
first. We have to have faith in Jesus Christ, repent, be baptized,
receive the Holy Ghost and ENDURE. That is the way we keep going.
Jesus Christ helps us to endure. I know that is true, because He's
helped me to do that very thing. Love you guys! Hope you have a great
day! I'm so grateful for this mission! It's the best!
Love,
Sister Marlow
