We met an amazing girl, S, a couple days ago who met missionaries in Vancouver recently. She has gone through some crazy stuff and really wants to find her purpose in life. It was so meant to be that we met her! She's so excited to meet with us this week and figure out more about why she's here. She's so humble and great!
I got an email from M in my last area this week saying she's getting baptized on October 1! Her parents have been completely against the church all her life and so she didn't tell her parents that she was coming to church for a long time. She was afraid of how her parents might treat her, but we kept inviting her to pray for the strength to bring it up. Anyways she emailed me saying she just felt like she was putting it off so she finally did it and it was really hard, but she feels amazing and peaceful about it. Her parents are far from excited for her, but she said she's never felt so amazing before and she can't even describe the feeling. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!!!!
When you're waiting for the Elders to come so we can start the meeting.
We helped at a garage sale this week and found this huge magnifying glass thing.
Exchanges with the Hermanas were amazing!! I love these sisters so much!
We're having a sleepover tonight and I am so pumped!
Scripture of the week: I've been working on trying to understand the Old Testament recently, and I think Isaiah is just amazing. Confusing but mind blowing. I came across this scripture, Isaiah 6:8, and I just love it. Right when the Lord asked who he could send, Isaiah volunteered. I feel like every one of us can be better about that. In meetings, we often wait for someone else to raise their hand and volunteer. But I think all of us can be quicker to volunteer ourselves. When I was in the YSA ward, our ward correlation meetings were AMAZING. Our ward mission leader would ask, "Who wants to teach Sunday School next month?" and within seconds someone would raise their hand. And others would volunteer for things before they were even asked. It was a dream come true! I just think we can all be more excited to help. Isaiah is so great and I know I'm missing a ton of its deeper meaning, but I still love it!
