Well I have officially reached the point of my mission where I am
teaching in my sleep. It's not a surprise that I've been sleeptalking, because I've done that my whole life pretty much, but sister
Urbina told me the other night I was actually teaching in my sleep. I
also was wanting to say a prayer! That's when you know that you're a
missionary ;) haha
I'm going to be real and say that not every week as a missionary is
good, because sometimes it's not. There are trials, tests and things
you must overcome. But, that's life right? And despite the hard days,
the spiritual moments make up for it. We had a great week of teaching
and talking with people. We were able to help some people clean their
house because they were moving! It always feels good to do service. On
Friday we had a district meeting, the district didn't change too much
which is good because we have a great group of missionaries! We have
so much fun at these meetings, and I always learn something important
from them.
Family history had been on my mind quite a bit lately.. I can't wait
to put more time and effort into that. As of right now, we are trying
to spread the word about it. We have an awesome family history room in
our building, and we have great members who are family history
consultants. So, we have been going around and asking people if they
are interested in family history. Hopefully we can get some people to
come to the church this week and find out how to find names!
Sunday was great, it always is.
Maggie (YSA member) came out with us on Sunday night. We were able to
get a lot of visits in, and we also had another lessons with patty and
Rachel!!
I always feel the spirit when having lessons with patty and Rachel. I
love the environment (thanks wood family), the people and the good
feelings we get each time. The spirit was so powerful, so extremely
powerful. I really felt the spirit especially when I was testifying of
The Book Of Mormon. I honestly think it's amazing that I'm at a point
where I can testify that this book is true. I couldn't even do that a
year ago. And I'm being 100% serious. I wanted it to be true, I wanted
to believe that it was true, I loved the stories and the messages.
But, I just didn't know. I really didn't. So for me to do something
like that, and what I've been doing for the past 6 months is
incredible to me. If anyone told me I would feel this way, and be able
to teach like this, flat out I would tell them that they were lying.
This church is true!!! I've seen it, I've felt it, I've experienced
it!!! The spirit has helped me countless of times. Tonight, it helped
me testify that each person who reads the Book of Mormon will receive
their own answer. I'm not perfect with words and I'm not a perfect
teacher, but the spirit is. I love this gospel, I love the life
lessons that I learn each day, and I love my Heavenly Father.
Love Sister
Arnold
