Wingapo!
Since leaders of the church quote Disney movies in
Conferences I can quote them in my letters. I loved to the talk about 'look
beyond what you see'. Am I the only one who hears Rafiki's voice in my head?
Probably... Anyway. We should really look beyond what we see, because that's
what the Savior did.
So this week was amazing. Too many good things but I don't
have time to write a lot about it. But I don't feel so tired anymore because we
go to bed like 10 minutes earlier and I pray for help and it's like God sees my
effort. So He answered my prayer. So I feel so good. Especially after GC.
But I want to share my spiritual highlights really quick.
We have this investigator and we planned to drop him after
we taught him the restoration (we have 1 lesson before that #keylessons
#trinidadportofspainmission). So we taught him the first part of the
restoration but stopped before Joseph Smith's story. It was a great lessons!
And we invited him to General Conference. And he came Saturday!!! It was awesome! He was even
wearing really fancy nice clothes.
And president Uchtdorf talked a lot about God, our Heavenly
Father. And that was perfect for him, because he doesn't have a clear idea of
who God is. He took notes, so I know that General Conference is for EVERYONE.
Not only members! For the whole wide world. So watch it everyone. It's good.
Good advises.
Another really spiritual experience was with a family.
We went there Monday night. And after dinner we talked about the First Vision
and spiritual experiences they had and we had sharing that on our missions. And
the Spirit was so strong. I had a warm feeling. I know Joseph Smith saw God the
Father and His Son. I feel the Spirit again now I share my experience. I know
the gospel is true! Yesterday morning we went contacting and we talked to a
lady. Her heart was hardened and she said she was busy. Then we asked her if we
could help her, but she said no. Then she asked how long we were here. So we
said 3 weeks. And we just started talking to her about her family and stuff. We
got to know her a little bit. And while we were talking her heart got softened,
because she told us that we could stop by if we were in the neighborhood. I
don't even remember what we talked about, but eventually I asked her if we could
give her a card of Jesus and she said 'of course!'. so we wrote our phonenumber
down so she can call us if she needs help. And then I just wanted to have a
contact and I asked for her phonenumber. At first something told me she would
not be willing to give her number, but that was not God's voice. Because then I
had a strong desire and feeling that I should just ask her. And so she gave us
her number and told us to call her. That change in like 5 minutes comes because
of the message of the restored gospel. It must be true. I know it is! I love
the gospel! It's our way to Heavenly Father.
Also our hour of power is just awesome. Thursday night we
biked to our contacting area. And I knew that most of the time there was a man
on our way there, but we never talked to him. So we biked and I prayed that he
would be there. And he was! But there was someone with him. I started to
hesitate and I wanted to keep biking. But God just answered my prayer, how
could I not talk to him?! So we talked to them both. And it was really
interesting. We got their information. We'll see where it goes.
Then we got into our contacting area and we were at this
resort and a guy yelled at us. So we went their and we talked about God and how
we can believe in Him if we can't see Him. we talked about His plan for us. We
got their information too! It was amazing!
So miracles are happening, because according to Donald L.
Hallstrom a miracle is a beneficial event brought about by divine power that is
not understood by men. I don't always understand, but I know that He is my
Father. I trust Him. And I know He trusts me to help His children here
understand who He is. How great is my calling?? I love it people. It is pretty
here! The weather is uhm hot. Well it was almost cold here last week (29
celcius?).
Mi stima bo!
Love,Zuster Spijkerman
