So, we're now authorized to be facebook missionaries here in the
Canada Edmonton Mission, and it has been really weird. Getting on
facebook made me feel so apostate it's super awkward, but the work is
hastening and we're going to be able to connect with people even more
this way!
Let me start off and just say that
DRAYTON VALLEY IS ON FIRE! Holy man it's so great. Miracles are
happening and people are progressing in the gospel. What more can we
ask for??
Our investigators Kristin and Collin
are SUPER great. We tracted into Kristin and showed her the He is The
Gift video a few weeks ago, and we were able to teach her and her
husband twice this week. He's super catholic and she grew up united,
they have their kids going to catholic school, so they're very
religious. He's very strong in his belief, but he keeps saying, "I know
God doesn't just put random people in our path, so I'm excited to see
why he has put you in ours." IT'S BECAUSE THIS IS SALVATION, THAT'S
WHY! :) We brought our branch president and his wife with us to their
lesson, because President Henriksen was born into the catholic church,
then later converted. He's so smart, he basically just taught the whole
lesson with a globe about how the apostasy and restoration happened and
it was really powerful. Collin is still hesitant about adding to the
bible, but he agreed to continue to meet with us and give it a try. :)
On Sunday,
we had a zone wide fast for the finding efforts in our areas, Sister
Whiting and I made it more specific to find people through the members
who are prepared to be baptized, and by Tuesday, we had 3 NEW INVESTIGATORS!!! If that's not a testimony builder of God's love for us, then I don't know what is.
We were out in evansburg on Thursday,
and had extra time to knock just a few doors, there was a lady sitting
in her truck, so we walked up and she got out and invited us into her
house! Her name is Lindsay, and she was so excited to see us. She has
been talking with the Jehovah's Witnesses, but she was happy we were
there, she's had a really rough life and recently decided she believes
in God, but doesn't know where to start. We're going to go back and
teach her on Wednesday! :)
Monica
is reading the Book of Mormon and making connections with the bible and
it's incredible! We had an amazing lesson with her, and she was so
excited to find for herself that in Ezekiel, it prophesies of the Book
of Mormon coming forth. #theholyghostworkswonders
^^^please
watch this video and remember how vital the Book of Mormon really is to
our everyday life. If we didn't need it, we wouldn't have it. Since
we have it, it's our job to use it to its fullest capacity and LIVE it.
It contains SALVATION!
the church is true!
Onward, ever onward.
Sister Jones
