I’ve realized that I don’t know if I can still say “y’all” if I’m in Indiana...any feedback is appreciated.
This week in Corydon...
We are trusted.
We had MLC on Monday night and Tuesday, and it was SO GOOD. We learned about how much the Lord trusts His missionaries. We got to be trained by Elder Bednar.....I know. I was freaking out too until we were told it was via training videos. Still cool though! The Lord really does trust us because He has given us everything we need to be successful. We have commandments, and we have the Atonement when we fall short. He loves us and has confidence as us as His children. All of us.
We’re going to hell.
On Saturday, we were checking out some potential investigators. We were looking for Megan but found her husband, a pastor. When he told us they’re moving to London, we encouraged him to check out mormon.org to find a meetinghouse near him or to talk with the missionaries. This opened the flood gates. He proceeded to tell us that he had met with missionaries a long time ago and rejected the gospel. He gets excited to talk with us because we’re going to hell for not believing in the same Jesus from the Bible. We thanked him for caring about us and said goodbye. As much as we want to teach people about our beliefs, we avoid contentious situations because we can only teach by the Spirit.
It’s fractured.
About a month ago, I was exercising without shoes on and rolled my foot. No good sounds came from my foot. Well, it was still bothering me so I took measures into my own hands and went to the doctor. A fractured fifth metatarsal. Dag! Lesson learned. Always wear shoes when exercising. And don’t try to be a hero and not go to the doctor when you suspect something’s wrong.
Sister Shumway is AMAZING!
We had exchanges this week, and Sister Shumway from AZ came to Corydon. We had a really cool lesson with Chris, a new investigator we met last week. She is a powerhouse. We were able to set a baptismal date with him! He’s never been baptized and doesn’t know the meaning of baptism....yet. We’re so excited to teach him the gospel!
If there is anything virtuous...we seek after [it].
In my studies this week, I have been focusing on virtue. 2 Peter 1:5 “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;” When we have faith in Jesus Christ, we know Him, His mission, and how we can become like Him. We are propelled to resist evil and to only do good. We resist the urge to judge harshly, speak unkindly, and to push away the Spirit. It can be a challenge to think, speak, and do good continually, but we can pray for the strength to resist temptation and do what is right and quickly repent of any sins or wrongdoings.
See you soon! Loves!
