| Celebrating my halfway mark! Time is starting to fly! October 28th! |
This week was a miracle week, this next one will be a miracle week as well. On October 31, our mission is celebrating the 30 anniversary of the dedication of Yugoslavia for the preaching of the gospel! What an amazing blessing it is to see what has happened in just thirty years and to see the potential that these beautiful countries have. It is such a blessing to be a part of the work at this stage, and to be able to tell people amazing truths that they have never had to opportunity to hear. It is such a priviledge. This past week I had the opportunity to go and do exchanges with Sister Higgins in Maribor. We taught a member together, taught English class, were actually quite busy with lessons...it was amazing!
But the best part is the sweet girl that we had the opportunity to teach together. Sister Christensen and I found her right before I left, she is the one who came to church the next day for general conference and then the following evening to family home evening right before I left. Their first lesson with her, she accepted a baptismal date. God has prepared people. When we first met her and talked to her on a bench we asked her how she would feel to know that God has more of his words for us? Her answer, 'I hoped that he would.' She was searching and when we taught her, I saw the light of the gospel in her eyes. It was amazing to see the spirit so alive in her. We taught her the plan of salvation and answered all her questions, testified, and at the end we asked her to pray to know if this really is God's plan for us. She said that she would, but that she somehow already knows it is true and knows this is God's plan for her. THE BEST WORDS EVER! I was just so humbled to be able to teach her again and see her progress.
Her follow up question for us, was how she could get her family to believe while they are all on earth so they could all be in the celestial kingdom together. She is actively preparing for baptism and an amazing young woman who is going to build the church here in Slovenia!
We also have another exchange this week (Sister Duffy and I actually do not have as much time together as we thought . . .haha) with Ljubljana. I will be staying in Kranj and Sister Robertson will be serving here with me! Yay for serving once more with my trainer! It will be great and miracles will happen.
I pray that we all constantly seek for personal revelation and live our lives the way we should when we know the gospel is true and that God has a perfect plan for us. I know He does and that Jesus Christ is our Savior. He is the way back home and it is a blessing to be able to teach that to these amazing people. I love and pray for you all. Have an amazing week.
