Sister Jenson and I were together and it was amazing! She is such an amazing leader and has so many wonderful ideas and really knows how to help other people! We had an amazing lesson with this less active Sister Christensen and I randomly called form our ward list that wanted to meet. The spirit was so strong in the lesson and I was able to be loving but ended up being really bold! But she really needed to know and remember what the spirit felt like and why she needs to come back. I read in my studies 3 Nephi 13:33 and it really helped her since she has had some money problems and a lot hard things going on with her family. But we promised her if she put God first in her life then everything else would fall into place. It was amazing. I felt that the Lord was with me and directing all my words and thoughts to how we could help her come back and feel the spirit again. Sister Jenson is an amazing missionary and really helped this Less active. I was able to learn a lot from her and see what she does that I could work on and improve. We also went chalking and decided to chalk the plan of salvation on some stairs that a lot of people walk there dogs on! It was a lot of fun!
This week was kind of our Do or Die week for a lot of our investigators. We prayed and figured out which investigators need a break and which ones are really committed to learning more and progressing. We have been able to see a lot of miracles already. Our district leader invited us to specifically plan in random details about a person or people you want to meet when you are finding. So yesterday we had planned to find a red headed family, with 2 kids at this complex we planned on going to. The first door we knocked on was a dad with red hair and he had 2 kids and they just moved from Alberta 2 months ago and wants us to come back!!!!! It was absolutely amazing how the Lord helps us to find those that are prepared as we follow the spirit and seek his guidance.
Other than that nothing too crazy happened this week but we are praying and hoping to see some miracles this coming week as we have a Zone Conference in Duncan tomorrow with the Victoria Zone and our Zone! I can't wait to learn more about the inspiration and revelation our Mission President has to share with us!!!! I love this work so much and have really enjoyed everything I am learning and will continue to learn as I work on following the spirit and relying on the Lord to help me fulfill my purpose here and meet those people who are ready. I love this work and the joy it brings not only others but my Father in Heaven and the peace and happiness it brings me to see my brothers and sisters change just a little more to come closer to our Heavenly Father. Love and miss you all!
Love,
Sister Heaton
