Well needless to say this week has been a roller coaster of
good and bad! Monday night Sister Cluff and I have been brain storming for
weeks now on how to get the members to want to do missionary work and finally
Monday we had ides flowing out our ears. It was such a blessing! We also met
with Rebecca a less active girl we were referred to, her mom is also less
active and her cousin Madison was there as well and she isn't a member. We
talked to all of them about the Atonement and what Jesus Christ did. Madison
had so many questions, and they were really great she made us stop and take a
step back and see if we were explaining everything. It really was a help to us.
The best part though was that she asked about baptisms! She is so great
and has such a pure heart and I can see that Heavenly Father loves her so
dearly. Tuesday was the BEST DAY EVER! We received a new referral form a less
active family that we went and taught, we also talked to Courtney an amazing
lady who we found tracking. She has been through so much in her life but she
has such faith in Christ, she told us that she really admires the Church. She
told us we could teach her because she wants to learn as much as she can! we
also went on splits Tuesday night. I went with Sister Baxter in 4th ward to her
house, her friend Theresa has been coming to church and said she would
meet with the missionaries. Let me tell you I was so afraid of teaching a
lesson by myself, but it went so well! It took a lot of Faith and I owe all of
it to the spirit I definitely couldn't have taught her without it. Wednesday we
went to Twin Falls for a new missionary meeting. It was so great to see
everyone and talk to them and hear about there areas. Everyone is really loving
it an and I'm so glad I am a part of it. ( by the way you all need to watch
Elder Holland's talk on missionary work!) Dun Dun Dun!!!! Thursday
happened! We had a really good lesson with one of our Investigators
Ashley we actually had it at a members house (the Schmidt's). Ashley's less
active mom was there and got a long really well with sister Schmidt and
Ashley's non member sister was there to and she asked lots of questions. The
lesson went so well and the Schmidt were so helpful to us. Now the horrible
part was that as we were riding home it was like 9pm and had snowed the day
before. we went to turn a corner and I hit a patch of black ice and ate it on
the road. I was very dumb and tried to catch myself with my arm which actually
saved me a whole lot more, but I just talked to the doctor yesterday and I have
an external rotation something. Ha-ha I really don't know all I know is that it
still hurts. At the time it didn't I actually just started laughing but 2 days
later it still hurt so I had to call in and see what was up. It still hurts
today but its getting better, I think the doc said it would take about 6 weeks
yay! well im just glad it not worse I was very blessed that I didn't break
anything! Anyways we had a record on Friday for most lessons taught WhooHoo!
Saturday was kind of a downer all of our appointments fell through and we
didn't get much done, no one wanted to talk or listen. Sunday we spoke in both
1st and 4th ward about how to be a member missionary. Things are slowly staring
to pick up here and I fell like there is a shift going to happen in missionary
work . We really are tying hard and trying to be exactly obedient to be
able to receive inspiration and guidance. This week I have really been staring
to realize that I am a missionary and I couldn't think of a better place to be
. There is nothing greater than bringing the gospel and the Joy of Christ into
someone's life and seeing a change in them. I always want to be growing and
progressing in coming closer to Christ. I defiantly am happier that way. I love
you all!
Sister Owsley
love you to the moon and back!
