Hey Everyone!
Wanna know something really cool! Okay so we got a call from the
President's Assisstents on the 4th of July asking if we could go to a
meeting with them and President later that evening at 7. So we go and
find out that President Murdock want's to go on a mission tour with him
and the Assisstents. He wants us to train all the missionaries in the
who mission. So we are going to be driving around like crazy! We started
Friday the 5th and we don't get back to our area until Saturday the
13th. What an amazing experience! Heavenly Father has so much trust in
me, it boggles my mind. The trainings have been going well. The first
day we kept changing it up trying to tweak so we were teaching exactly
what the spirit wants us to. We have been teaching on making BOLD,
inspired commitments, that bring the people we are teaching closer to
Christ. It's wonderful because I'm learning so much as I teach.
President also has asked us to sing at the meetings and also for the
next transfer meeting. Cool. It's really nice to be able to get to know
him better. We got to go to Red Robbin with him, his wife, and the
assisstents. Which was awesome because on Friday we missed breakfast and
lunch. On Saturday we missed just lunch. We are just so busy and there
arent enough hours in the day! Wanna know whats also amazing! We get to
go to Meeker! We are surprising Gary Zellers! His beautiful wife, Laurie
already knows were coming! I cannot wait to give that family a big hug!
I love them. Also I love Meeker. It will be nice to drive through that!
Were going to try to see as many people as we can. Sister Hatch also
served there so we both were so excited! It's going to be an exhausting
couple of days because of driving and long hours sitting in meetings.
We listen to the same 3 trainings 3 times a day! It takes a little over 3
hours with each group. But this whole thing is so awesome!
We got to teach a less active on Sunday inbetween our meeting and
church. It was the first time we have met him. He was filled with the
spirit. Right now he is struggling because his wife doesnt like the
church. His whole family is really active. His brother is a Mission
President in New York. It made me so sad for him because he has such a
strong spirit, but a few wrong choices with alcohol caused a divorce and
alot of separation with the family, and his own separation with the
church. We sang Nearer My God to Thee with him and testified Heavenly
Fathers love for him. He is going to Utah for a family reunion next
week. So he told us we should expect to see him the week after. Tender
mercy with the situation was, we met him at the perfect time because his
wife happened to not be home, so he was able to open up and express his
desire to come back. That was such an uplifting experience.
We had a similar experience with Sonya and another family. We
shared the power of the hymns. In the Ensign on page 31-33 it talks
about how the hymns can give us so much comfort, peace, and can motivate
us to choose the right. The hymns can truly help people feel the
spirit. Thats why we try to sing everytime we go somewhere. It's
awesome!
Well we have to leave at 1:15 today to go over the mountain to
Montrose. Wish me luck! and more importantly keep us in your prayers so
we can inspire and motivate! I love Heavenly Father and our Savior,
Jesus Christ. I see miracles everyday.
