Dear Family,
We had zone conference this past week and as usual it was
incredible. President Collins talked to us about prayer and opening up
that communication with him and being able to receive revelation. It
was kind of sad because they have the missionaries who are leaving this
transfer bear their testimonies, and it was hard to see some of the
missionaries that have made great relationships with leave, Sister
Vanderhooft, Elder Nash, Elder Van Zant, Elder Worden, and Elder
Edwards. It was a great day though and Sister Bankhead and I learned so
much. Our area is doing so well, and we are seeing the blessings of
obedience. We had stake conference yesterday, and our stake president
reminds me so much of President Mower. Love is an overwhelming
attribute of stake presidents.
Donna is amazing and absolutely wonderful. We had a lesson with her
at the church and she told us that satan was working on her and she
almost didn't come, but she was glad she did. We gave her a church tour
and she was just loving every minute of it. We ended in the chapel and
the spirit was of course there and she felt it. She told us she had been
reading the Book of Mormon and has a feeling when she reads it that she
loves and she felt it again in our lesson. She kept telling us over and
over that she didn't think we could 'move' her, but we did, well the
spirit moved her and she was happy. She had hope when we met with her
and we committed her to baptism and she said that thought kept coming
through her mind all day. She knows that is the step she needs to take.
It was an incredible lesson and the spirit taught her. She came to
church yesterday and enjoyed herself and she is doing great.
We also had another investigator at church yesterday, Harold, and
we were so happy to see him come. We thought he wasn't going to show
because his phone was shut off on Sunday morning and we waited and
waited, and then 10 minutes before church started he walked in:) He told
us he almost didn't come because he was having car trouble but he kept
trying and was able to get to the church safely. He was really excited
for our next lesson this week, so that was a good sign.
I caught a horrible cold that put me down for a bit, oh bother it
was miserable, I'm about 20% better, so it's getting there. It was
awful at our district meeting earlier this week, everyone was sick and
we were quite the site, hoards of tissues and hand santitizer. It was
pretty funny actually, but we were all down. The weather is beautiful
here and I hope it stays like this all week and forever!
Love,
Sister Lamb
