Hey y'all!! Thanks so much for the emails and pictures! Macey- congrats on 1st place at the dance competition! So proud of you- continue to work hard!!
We had transfer calls this last weekend and I will be staying here in Canyon for at least another 6 weeks- training Sister Udall! Yay! I love serving here! We have about 30 sister missionaries from the TLM going home this week and only 2 new missionaries are coming out- resulting in A LOT of closed areas! I am so glad I get to stay here!
We had a great week... probably one of the fastest weeks of my mission! We learned more about the Atonement this week in our District Meeting and it was so good! I love the scripture Alma 19:23- We shouldn't blend in with the world! We must change the desires of our hearts and never return to our old ways... but it is only possible through our Savior and by applying his Atonement into our lives each and every day!
We had a really busy week with back-to-back teaching appointments! (Those are my FAV days!) We taught a couple of new investigators- L who is so prepared! She lost both of her parents and we shared with her the Plan of Salvation... or the Plan of HAPPINESS :) She loved it and said she would like to be baptized! We also taught a girl who lost her dad within the past few years, A and she is a really sweet girl! We received a referral from a member in Oklahoma this week- she asked us to teach her step-sister, C. The lesson went great and she has committed to baptism for a date later this month :)
We have been focusing a lot on Less- Active work here... it's so sad to see how many young people fall away from the church, especially returned missionaries because they haven't been 100% truly converted! Just because we gain a testimony of the gospel at one point of our lives, doesn't mean that it will be there forever! We must WORK at it every single day!! CPR! (church, pray, read). Justin McKenzie received the Aaronic Priesthood yesterday at church! It was so neat to see Timmell (Recent Convert- baptized last March) baptize Justin and confer the priesthood upon him! So So So cool!! Great things are happening here :) I have a testimony and a love for this work. I love y'all and hope you have a great week!
Love,
Sister Evans
