We were able to go on exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders where they both came and helped us in our area! I have so many great plans this week hopefully we will be able to find and help more people! I was able to learn a lot of things from Sister Tague and we saw some great miracles! Sister Christensen and i found this adorable family that we are hoping we will be able to meet with again! They have 2 kids ages 10 and 8! SO CUTE!!!
We also had another Cottage meeting this time at a members house it was lots of fun! A recent convert Ashwani put it together and did a great job! He got baptized in January and is getting in Patriarchal blessing and Melchezedik Priesthood soon!! He is super cool! We had a few recent converts come and we had a good time! It was also National Donut Day this past Friday so Ashwani took us to Timmy's to get donuts!!! Then got us a box of donuts so we took it to our zone meeting and gave it to everyone!
I have started what they call a 40 day fast, where you fast from the things that will cause you not to have the spirit like negative thoughts or any obedience problems and such and Sister Christensen and I started with our fast yesterday and fasted for all the things we need to change so we can have the spirit more and wrote what the spirit brought to mind! We covenanted with God in our prayers to "fast" or stop doing them and started today! I can already feel a difference! It is definitely hard to change those things but i know as i continue to work on them and ask for the strength to overcome them then we will be able to have the spirit stronger in our companionship and will be able to receive the guidance to really find those prepared people! I know how much it will help us!
I have such a strong testimony of this gospel and how much Heavenly Father cares and loves each of us! He is so mindful of what each of us are going through and i know will never give us more than we can handle! This foot problem i have is just a trial i have to endure that will only help me and strengthen me in the long run! And when it is better i will be so grateful to have two functioning feet again and will try to never take it for granted again! It is a lot of work to hop around trying to talk to people but it will make me so thankful to be able to run after people again! I love and miss you all!
Love,
Sister Heaton
