Wow zoveel dingen om jullie te vertellen!
So yeah we had a really spiritual lesson on Monday night
with one of our recent converts. She doesn't understand a lot so we have to
teach very plainly. I could feel God's love for her, but also through her. She
testified of Him. I almost cried.
A lot of appointments fell through this week, but Justin is
really loyal. We taught him a lot. He's getting baptized!! Which is kind of a
miracle. His girlfriend was still living there 3 days ago and he was still
smoking. But he told us yesterday that his grandson helps him, gives him the
power to pray. He hasn't smoked in 2 days and his girlfriend is gone. He loved
general conference. He said it woke him up. I was just really tired, so I was
just like, wow I just feel like it makes me tired. But he is right. It wakes
you up spiritually.
So Saturday night after General Conference my bike broke. So we had to pump
up the tire, but we had no pump and it was already 9 pm. So we called the
closest elders, they gave us their pump. Then I had to ride it for a
little bit, pump it up again ride etc. I did it with a lot of faith. I felt
like Peter walking on water. I prayed and asked Heavenly Father to keep the air
in the bike. And I focused on Christ. So we could bike for a long long time.
Then I had to pump it up once or twice. It was a blessing, but also a testimony
builder, that we can do all things through Christ if we focus on Him.
I know the church of Jesus Christ is on the earth today.
General Conference definitely strengthened my testimony of the truth. I can't
pick my favorite talk, but I loved elder Bednar's talk about meekness. He made
me think of a talk he gave about the character of Christ, which was played in
the MTC. I want to study His true character, so I can know what God's character
is. Meekness is a really important one. I know this gospel is true. I can't
deny and I won't ever deny it. I want to testify of these things in the name of
Jesus Christ, amen.
Love,
Zuster Spijkerman
