I hope you enjoyed your week! I was excited to hear about Joey and Christine getting married! I'm excited to see their pictures! Thank you Robert for the upside down picture of me! That's the only picture I have right now! I'm glad everyone was able to travel safely!
Well, I had a regular week. We are continuing to work with Danielle. She's super solid and awesome. She's overcoming some more trials, but she has a wonderful attitude and testimony. She's been reading from the illustrated Book of Mormon with her children and proudly had them tell us what they remembered from what they've read. She also attended the Women's Broadcast on Saturday. We had a neat experience. There was a video that illustrated how we should be focused on the temple in ever stage of our life. Danielle saw an image of a temple and said "That building is so beautiful." I replied "My brother got married there today." Then later there is a scene where a woman is placing flowers on the grave of her husband and the temple is in the background. Danielle leaned over and said "Till death do us part" and I said back to her "In the temple, there is no 'til death do us part,' you're married 'for time and all eternity.'" It was a really cool moment where the magnitude of the temple and the blessings and meaning really hit me. I still don't understand the everything about the temple, but I'm so grateful for the little I do know. I can't wait to go to the temple when I get home from my mission!
There is a new woman on our radar now! Her name is Paula. SHE'S SO AWESOME!!!! She was introduced to us through a friend she met at the gym. We met with her and were really nervous to teach her, but we followed the spirit in our lesson and it was SO GOOD! I told her at the beginning to pay attention to the thoughts and feelings she got from the spirit because it would teach her more than we would. We taught about prophets and how Christ established his perfect gospel when he lived on the earth. Then we talked about how that perfect gospel was lost and distorted. We shared Amos 8:11-12 and she loved that scripture. She said she has felt that way all throughout her life as she has searched for truth. We talked about the need for a restoration and Joseph Smith and the current prophet today. She was very open and sincere about finding out for herself. She came to church on Sunday and had a neat experience. She's coming to conference this weekend so she can hear President Monson herself!
Those are my two favorite people this week! There are others that we are working with, but those are at the top right now!
Hope everyone has a great week!
Love,
Sister McElderry
