Monday,
we bleached T-Shirts with the elders. That was pretty fun. Elder
Christensen, Sister Perry, and mine were the only ones that worked out
properly. So that was funny. (:
We visited a lot of members this week because this coming Sunday
we have an "Invitational Sunday." Last month the members were meant to
fast and pray to have names brought to their minds about people that
they can bring to church this Sunday,
Easter Sunday. So, we were visiting them and sharing a message with
them and then committing them to invite someone. We got commitments out
of a lot of members, so it is going to be a really awesome Sunday!!
This
week was Gwen's birthday! We were so excited when we found out because
we had planned to heart attack her front door and this just gave us a
perfect opportunity! So, we probably really obviously asked her when she
wasn't going to be home and she said around 4, so we went over there
and we put heaps of hearts on her door! (: 7198, 7202 I love doing that.
(: I love putting a smile on people's faces!
I
think the ultimate highlight of the week though, was District
Conference. Because we aren't a Stake yet, President Rudd holds the keys
for our District and so he and Sister Rudd and his two counselors and
their wives were there as well!!! President Rudd invited all of the
missionaries in the Taranaki Zone to go down to Hawera on Saturday
night to attend the adult session on District Conference. It was
probably the best Stake/District meeting that I have ever been to. It
was absolutely amazing. The spirit was so strong and the talks were all
about becoming better missionaries and also about better using the
full-time missionaries. President Rudd said something really cool, as
well, "Heavenly Father has turned His keys for member missionary work.
People who may have not accepted us in the past will accept us now. That
is why it is so important for the members and the missionaries to work
together." And then he talked a whole heap about rescuing the lost
sheep. Who are you going to rescue this week?
Then
the Sunday session was also really good! Gwen came to that and she
really enjoyed it. I cannot believe how prepared she is to accept the
Gospel. I am so excited for her to enter into the waters of baptism in
April!!
My dear family and friends, I know
that this is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that I am a
daughter of a loving Heavenly Father and I know that He loves me. I also
know that He loves you. I know that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and that
he performed the Atonement for all the things that I have done wrong,
but also so that I can progress and change and become more like Him. I
know that the tomb is empty!!!!!!! How exciting is that? Jesus Christ
died and then was resurrected three days later and I know that that is
true. I know that because of His amazing sacrifice, we have the
opportunity to live again.
If you have been
blessed with a testimony, I invite you to invite someone else to learn
about this beautiful truth. And if you aren't sure, I invite you to ask.
Ask someone you know who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints to help you! Or better yet, find the missionaries and
ask them! Take the challenge in Moroni 10:3-5 and ask God the Eternal
Father in the name of Christ if this is true! He will answer you through
the power of the Holy Ghost that it is true. It is true. I know it. (:
Invite
someone this week. Rescue someone this week. And I expect stories next
week. Miracles can happen, my friends. The Lord is Hastening His Work!!

absolute miracle. She came from hard drug abuse and is now almost fully
