This week has been a hard week. I wish that I wouldn’t have so many health problems on my mission. Right now I am in an extremely large amount of pain, and it won’t stop. I have been working through it this week, so that we could actually do some missionary work. We went contacting in the park this week, and met a football coach named Donne. He was really great and we were able to teach him all about the plan of salvation. He told us he lives in Ontario so as soon as he calls us we will be able to send him as a referral.
I was able to go and see Silvina, the investigator we had to give to Terra Vista ward because she wasn’t in our ward boundaries. It was her son Isaiah's first birthday on the 9th so my zone leaders let us go over and wish him a happy birthday. He is getting so big and she is progressing so much. I hope that she will get baptized soon.
We went on splits this week with the relief society, it went really well, we were able to see a lot more less actives, and a lot of them are progressing. I had a lot of fun going to see Patricia. She read the wrong chapter in the Book of Mormon this week, and it was no coincidence that she read the chapter that she did. It helped her so much, and she completely understood the repentance process. She told me that I really know how to make her think, and want to be better. I don’t even remember what I say in the lessons with her, so I know that it is completely by the Spirit that I am teaching her. I really do love her though. Isn’t it weird the love that you have for people you have only known for a few months, because they are Children of God, and that you are just interested in helping them to become closer to their Heavenly Father. I really do have a genuine love for everyone that I meet.
We also got asked a lot of weird questions this week. One was about one of our less actives, she is trying to do surrogacy for a gay couple. We didn’t know what the stance of the Church is on the subject of surrogacy so we had no idea what to say, So we asked our ward mission leader, and he looked it up, apparently the church doesn’t approve of it. The same less active asked us if she could still wear crosses, because she loves wearing them, and she wouldn’t let us explain why we don’t choose to wear them.
I cannot describe how amazing it was to be able
to go to the temple once again. I love the temple. The joy, peace, and overwhelming
feeling of the Spirit. I was able to receive revelation, and just be able to
really feel the Spirit more than ever. I was so excited, and have been looking
forward to it for weeks. Now that it is over it is kinda sad. I just want to go
every single day. Hopefully when I get home I will be able to do that. Have you
ever really listened to the blessings and the covenants that we make in the temple.
The next time you go to the temple just listen to the blessings. It brings you
so much joy, to know what Heavenly Father wants to give to you.
I hope everyone has a great week! I love all of you!
Talk to you later!
Love,
Sister Bell
