Wowza- I never really thought this week would come! I am so excited to see all y'all next week! That's nuts that now I am coming into Idaho Falls! Thanks for pullin' some strings for me!
Well, this last week was a great week! It started out a little rough, but a Priesthood blessing definitely helped me! I am so grateful for worthy men who hold God's power that are able to act as voice for Him. Then we were led by the Holy Ghost to visit a certain apartment complex... the person we were in the area to visit wasn't around, so then we were really confused as to why Heavenly Father sent us there. As we were walking towards our car, we met a lady named S, and she is a member of the church who hasn't been active in nearly 20 years! She expressed how she is going through some hard things (which have humbled her a lot) and she is ready to turn to God again for help. She wants to come back to church! YAY!
We had a great Zone Training this week where we learned more about goal setting, inviting people to be baptized with more confidence, contacting, and how to be more sincere when talking to our Father in Heaven through prayer. It was great! Sister Johnson and I visited the temple this week and I was able to do an Endowment Session for the last time as a full-time missionary in the Texas Lubbock Mission- bittersweet!
I had a neat experience this week as I taught my ESL student, P. He is from China and is soaking in as much as he can about the Bible and Jesus while he is here in America. He asked me where he will go in 40,50, 60 years or so when he dies... great question! I was so excited to teach him the perfect and fair, Plan of Salvation and answer all his questions! We are so blessed to have this knowledge! He couldn't believe we had so many answers that "just make sense!"
We also got to teach this really sweet Hispanic lady, R. She is so receptive to the gospel and the members that live directly across the street are such good examples to her. They take such good care of her and really keep their covenants. We also taught R The Plan of Salvation last night and she absolutely loved it! I love being a teacher of the restored gospel. It truly brings me so much happiness and I am so grateful to have the Savior at the center of my life. I love this perfect organization of the Lord's church- I am excited to continue helping others come unto the true sheepfold! I love y'all so much! God Bless.
Love,
Sister Evans
