It has been a fabulous week! We have
taught a lot of people and seen miracles!
One that stands out is we finally found
all the information we needed to do the temple work for one of our
member's grandparents. (this is the same story from last week). We
were able to print the things needed to take those names to the
temple. I am so excited to go to the temple for these people!
The second miracle involves somebody
we've been teaching for a couple weeks now. We invited him to be
baptized a few weeks ago and he said yes, but wouldn't commit to a
date. Then this week Sister Zaleski felt inspired to invite him
again. He was a lot more willing to think about the date we had set
for him to get baptized. He came to church on Sunday and after
sacrament meeting told us he was ready to get baptized! wahoo! I'm so
excited for him!
I have absolutely loved my mission! It
has, by far, been the best decision I've ever made up to this point
in my life! I am thankful that Heavenly Father knows me better than I
know myself and helped me get on a mission. It wasn't what I wanted
to do 2 years ago.
I am thankful for what I've learned
about myself on my mission. Growing up I always heard that I was a
"daughter of a Heavenly Father who loved me." I don't think
I ever disbelieved it... but I never felt it deep inside. My mission
has helped me know, not only in my mind but in my heart, that this is
true.
I have had experiences where God has
taught me that by the Spirit. It is amazing! Do you know who you
really are? Because it is incredible!
I am so grateful that God has given me
the opportunity to see His other children the way he sees them. I am
grateful for the opportunity I've had to help my Heavenly Father with
his great and marvelous work.
To be honest, most of the time I feel
like a child in the kitchen helping mom make cookies. Mom could make
the cookies perfectly fine without my help. She doesn't need my help
at 3 years old, but she lets me. She lets me help because she knows I
will learn a valuable lesson. She lets me help because she loves me.
She lets me help because she knows our relationship will be better
because of it.
I love the people of Oklahoma. They are
wonderful! I am going to miss it here. However, I know that God has
more for me to do in my life. I'm ready to see what he has in store
for me. It will be an awfully big adventure! :D
Well, I love y'all! See you soon!
Love, Sister Record
