What a week!
-we got to stay in the mission home in Sherwood Park on Monday night for Zone Conference on Tuesday. love that place!
-Zone
Conference was SO good. we learned about having our hearts in the
right place and how that can motivate us to be consecrated
missionaries. Our zone leader's trainings are always so awesome.
they're rockstars.

-we have now contacted about 30 of the
former investigators from the area book (out of 89) and have a couple
more weeks to contact the rest. Yes. We're expecting miracles! We
have been able to set up return appointments with a lot of the formers
we've contacted so that'll make for a joyful week!
-we also went ice fishing yesterday which was cold and no we didn't catch anything. definitely an adventure.

-we
had a pretty good lesson with Lynn, she's still reading the book of
mormon, having a rough time with prayer. But she's progressing. She
doesn't think she is, but she has been acting in faith and really
trying her best. We're going to have a lesson with her in the church
this week to help her feel more comfortable to come on Sunday! :)
-Brandy,
a girl who is in Junior High, her family investigated the church a
while back, we (basically just Sister Whiting) have been tutoring her
with her math. She told us this week that before we started helping
her, she was getting 20-30% on all her tests, and on her last test, she
got above 80%!!! #miraclesonmiraclesonmiracles #servicesoftenshearts
-We had a lesson with our NEW INVESTIGATOR, Colin! I'm going to back up for a minute...
a
week ago from last Sunday, we were tracting. We knocked a few doors
and after all of them slamming in our faces, we weren't sure if God was
telling us to go somewhere else, or if we should stay and try a little
longer. We decided to knock one more house, and we met Colin. He told
us he wasn't religious and wasn't really interested. we gave him a mormon.org
card and went on to try another area. About an hour later, we got a
text asking if this is the sister missionaries, and it turns out it was
Colin! He said he would have invited us in to teach him if his friends
weren't there, so we set up a lesson for later in the week!!! NO EFFORT
IS WASTED! We gave him a tour of the church building and then started
teaching him the nature of God. He doesn't really have a religious
background at all. We had the lesson in the chapel, and let me just
tell you lessons in the chapel are INCREDIBLE!!! When you walk into the
chapel, you can just FEEL a difference. The spirit resides there and
when we enter, we open our hearts a little more to feel its guidance. I
JUST LOVE IT! Colin said the closing prayer and he hasn't really ever
prayed before!!! JDASIOG;HR;AJFRE'AJFE;FJKDS;
whatever
it is that you're going through, don't give up. Every time we try one
more time, we're exercising our faith, and God ALWAYS blesses his
children who exercise their faith. just try once more. :)
Onward, ever onward.
Sister Jones
