YO!
Most spectacular week ever! Before
I go spiritual on you, I will share a funny story…
So we try and talk to everybody on
the street that are between the ages of 18 and 30. We started talking to this
one guy and he seemed super excited to talk to us and told us to walk with him.
We walked a few blocks and then had to part different ways but before we
separated he started going off on us about how he doesn't tell people what they should
believe but we are wrong with all that we believe. (jaja) Interesting guy. Then
he messaged us on Facebook later and asked to set up to meet with us so he
could interview us on his radio show! We tentatively agreed just to see if he
is legit but then it ended up falling through so it's all good. But then he
messaged us the next day again and started going off about how we gotta make it
in the world wants to start a company with us.
(jajaja) Street contacting in Manhattan allows you to meet some great
people!!
Besides that, yesterday was one
of the best days of my whole life. We were able to go back up to my old area to
see Jermaine get baptized. The baptism was awesome
and it was great to see him and the family because I became really good friends
with them. The best part of it all though was when he shared his testimony at
the end. His story is amazing but the cherry on top was the sweet testimony
that he has about the Book of Mormon and the peace that he brings him. When he
simply said, "I know that the Book of Mormon is true” the spirit flooded
the room. It was so powerful to me. I am so grateful that I was able to be one
of his missionaries and to have been able to help him find the truth. Life long
friends!
What was amazing as well was going
straight to our ward after the baptism and having 5 investigators
be there for their first time! 3 were invited by us, 1 was invited
by a member, and 1 felt he needed to go to church and found ours on google!
Jaja - it was so amazing! We set a baptismal date with Joshua for
January 28th. Pretty spectacular!
The reason that I title my email
"Just Simply DO Your Best" is because
looking back on this week I don't
know what amazing thing we did to deserve all of these blessings. All that I
can think of is that we tried our best and things really fell into place. I'm
so grateful for the day to day miracles and blessings. Being a missionary is
the best. #RepentanceIsCool #theAtonementIsReal
Love you!
