MUM!!!
Well it was another crazy week with lots of appointments. But nothing to exciting yano? Just spreading the gospel;) I learned so much this week and you'll probably read all about it in my family email. It's crazy!! I don't even think half the stuff I learned I could write down. So awesome!! This week we got 2 new investigators:):):) possibly 3, but we will see what happens this week. It was so cool though on the way here we were waiting for the bus and this lady gets off the bus and right when she gets off she starts talking to us in english!! Apparently she use to go to english club and she really loved it, but she had a baby. So we got her number and she said she would be really interested in meeting with us!! I'm really praying that it works out because most people we meet don't really work out.. So keep fingers crossed:) Um the thing with Ukraine I think you'll probably more then me. so you should keep me updated on the news:) all they told us was to keep our food storage up and we could possibly go in lock down, but don't really know? I feel safe. I'm not to worried about it. Just going go to go about my day yano:) Things are good. Language is still bloody hard... I'm trying my best to be patient but it truly is the hardest thing. I feel like I know nothing and I will have been here 2 months this up coming week. Yesterday in church a little girl was crying in her moms lap and I literally started crying because I was like I wish I could do that to my mom.. haha I know I'm pathetic, but I mission is hard. It's great, but it's so hard. It's good for me though. I needed it!! I've learned so much and I don't think I would learn it any other way!! So I know I can do this:) It's just going to take time!! But I love you! Can't wait to read your letters. I look forward to them every week!! Hope your doing ok. and your happy:) Love you mom!
Hey Peeps!!
I've made it two months?!?! What?? That's insane haha I feel like I've been here for... five;) But hey that's ok haha Um things are going good here in Z-grad. We had so many awesome lessons this week with investigators. We got two more investigators this week which is AWESOME! So will see how it goes with them. I think the highlight of my week though was mission conference. Holy cow. My mind is blown. I don't even think I can write down half the stuff I learned, but I will try my best to hit key points.
So our area President came and spoke and his wife is super brilliant. She know's everything about everything. Especially the gospel. So before President Lawrence spoke his wife, Sister Lawrence, gave a talk on missionary work and why it is so important. Her topic was about the House of Israel which is incredibly incredible:) haha So a couple days before the conference I was reading my P. Blessing during personal study. And of course it tells you what tribe you are in. Well after I read that I was like hmm? I want to know like the history of the house of Israel because to be honest I didn't really know much. So I tried so search it out in the scriptures, but I wasn't doing so hot. So we get to the conference and that's what her topic was on!! Awesome!! The first thing she talked about was Christ and why he is called the Holy on of Israel. When Christ received his earthly mission call it was very specific. He can only minister to the house of Israel not the Gentiles. There were only a couple situation when Christ left his boundaries to help the gentiles, but for the most part it was to the Israelites. When we receive a P. Blessing it becomes a license to teach. We are descendants of Israel and we are here to preach the gospel. The Children of Israel are always attracted to the gospel which is why there are some people that are either interested and some that won't even give you the time of day. I am a child of a covenant and before this life I promised H.F. I would help him. In the Pre- Existence we were all innocent spirits. Some of us accelerated faster then others. Some had more faith and grew that faith faster then others. We even had agency before this life. And some of the talents that we have here on earth we were developing way before we came here which is why some people say they are "naturally gifted" not true. That just means they worked on that talent before this life. Anyways we were selected into the house of Israel before this life. And when the war began it was basically just arguments and feelings that were being acted on. But the biggest weapon was our Testimonies. The house of Israel believed that H. F. plan would work and we bore testimony to that. And the testimonies that were born won the war. The gentiles voted yes only to receive a body, but they didn't really know if H. F. plan would really work. So anyways long story short we were called and prepared for this plan. Satan's focus right now is on the House of Israel. We are gods army and he trusted us to help him. Now there is so much more to this, but I'm sure you are already bored so I won't go on haha but Through this whole talk I realized how important my calling is especially since the lost tribes were scattered to the North ( Russia) and it's up to us to help find those lost tribes. It makes me think what I must have down in the Pre-existences to take on such a big calling. But if you are apart of the church you are part of the tribe. And it's up to us to help Heavenly Father out to bring back those lost tribes.
Anyways I'm done sorry!! I wish I could write down everything. So mind blowing, but I love you all!! Hope you are all have a great week:)
