How
are you all this week? We had a pretty good week. It's starting to
get colder! But good thing we are well equipped with warm stuff. But
it's still hard going around in a skirt when it so cold! But that's the
life of a sister missionary! We struggled to find new investigators
this week. But we did meet some friendly people that weren't
interested, but we were able to share the restored gospel with them.
Sister Kiser and I taught this man. He's Catholic and has talked with
missionaries before. He pretty much wanted to bash with us. But we
just calmly taught him about how Jesus Christ's church was restored upon
the Earth. And so was that priesthood power. That this is Christ's
original church restored today. And that we have a prophet that
receives revelation from God. And that we ourselves can receive
personal revelation from Heavenly Father. He couldn't believe that! It
was so sad! I would be so lost if I couldn't receive revelation from
Heavenly Father. That's a way that He shows His love. We talk to Him
through prayer and He answers us through the Holy Ghost. Sister Kiser
is awesome! She kept asking him questions and he was running himself up
against the wall with his responses. But it ended well. We are really
trying to work more closely with the leadership in the wards. Things
are going well, but they could be better. I'm so glad that we get to be
companions! We have had a great transfer together! I hope we get to
spend next transfer together as well. She reminds me so much of my
sisters! We laugh all the time. And then there are times when we
shouldn't be laughing and we have to hold it in. Just like this day
this last week. We had a lesson with an investigator. He's in his 70s.
We were teaching him about the Fall of Adam and Eve. We had him read a
scripture and then he asked a question and we told him to keep reading.
And then he started over reading the scripture. And we didn't correct
him. But he kept reading the same scripture over and over. And we
couldn't help but laugh. We were trying so hard to not laugh out loud.
I kept wheezing and that made Sister Kiser laugh more. And then she
asked me to read the rest of the scripture and I could barely read it
and I would play it off and cough. And the tone of my voice was going
up and down as I was trying to read the scripture and keep from
laughing. It was a good lesson though. We realized that he hasn't been
taught the doctrine at all. I think in the past he would just ask
missionaries really hard questions and they would teach based on that.
And we just started teaching him the doctrine. We hope that will help
him to build a testimony on his own. That's the reason why he won't get
baptized. Well, it's been a great week! Transfers are next week.
This transfer has FLOWN BY! I can't believe it! I hope Sister Kiser
and I get to stay together as companions. At least for Thanksgiving and
Christmas! That would be awesome. But it's in the Lord's hands. I
know that Jesus Christ LIVES! That Heavenly Father loves us and He
sincerely answers prayers. And that we must act on those answers. Even
if it is hard. We don't know what the Lord wants us to learn. We just
have to trust in Him.
Love,
Sister Marlow
I love the example of Esther! Watch this video about her and courage!
