Oh man did we have some crazy awesome miracles this week! Buckle Up!
Highlights!
- So we had a couple of really fantastic lessons with our friend Ted this week! However, on Saturday, we ended going over the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him (faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, endure to the end). He really liked the idea of the Holy Ghost being a constant companion and that we can gain more knowledge and peace when we have the gift of the Holy Ghost. So, we asked him, "Would you like to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost?" And he said yes! Oh my goodness, our hearts were racing! We then asked, "Ted, will you follow the example of Jesus Christ by being baptized?" He said YES! WHOOO HOOOO! We talked about setting a date for the end of May (probably the 30th) and we invited him to pray about it! Sister Brandley and I literally danced around the room after the video call ended, we were so excited! So please keep Ted in your prayers!
- This Sunday, we didn't just have one Sunday Service over video chat... we had four! We had one with our zone and then we had three with three different friends (Ted, Devin, and our favorite part member family)! The miracle was that all three of the Sunday Services went super well! The technology ran smoothly and we were able to have different members of our ward join for all of them! It definitely made for a very busy but an amazing Sunday!
- We were able to have a really awesome lesson with our friend Devin this Thursday! We finished going over the Plan of Salvation with him. Not only did it make a lot of sense to him, he ended up reading a lot more of the Book of Mormon than we had originally asked him too! And he wanted to know what he needed to read for next time! He also mentioned how he felt that running into missionaries and having lessons with us was God telling him that he was being watched over! We are so excited to continue teaching Devin!
Other Random Stuff:
- We walked our member's dog every morning this week for our daily exercise. The dog has two names: Elder Bones and Mop Dog. Which one is your favorite?
- My trainer Hermana Lewis went home! I love her so much and miss her already!
- I reached my 9 month mark and now Sister Brandley says I'm middle-aged
- We celebrated Ted being on date by getting ice cream today! It was the sketchiest Baskin Robbins I have ever seen. The windows had bars on them and I'm pretty sure there was someone being mugged in the parking lot. The ice cream was great!
- We have been having really amazing lessons with our friends and members over video chat! In fact, one of the goals for our zone this transfer is to be teaching lessons! So, if you are interested in having a lesson with some missionaries, send me an email with your phone number and we will get that arranged for you! (Haha, I bolded it because it's important)
Things have been so exciting and crazy as we enter another week of quarantine! I am so grateful for all the love and support I have felt from members, friends, and family! I have truly been so blessed! God is very much real and so much bigger and stronger than this virus! I love you all so much and I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Lots of Love,
Sister Ferrin
