Dear Family and Friends,
This week has been
pretty good. We have been able to get a lot done and see some progress in
the area. The sun has been out, and if any of you know me, when the sun
is shining it's like tender mercy from the Lord that gives me an extra
push out the door and on my feet.
We got to teach a new investigator that we have been
working with lately. She is so great! You know its just best when you
are talking to someone and you are like... "Wow, this person has been
prepared". Haha well this is what runs through my head while we teach
her.
We got to teach her the first half of the Plan of Salvation and it went
wonderful. I love being able to talk about Adam and Eve and how be need
opposition in this life to succeed and to become the individual that our
Father wants us to become, and not only that but who WE want to become.
This is as a person I think we all want to achieve, if it is in
righteousness our Lord will be able to strengthen us in times of trial
as we do put our trust in him. It is so amazing to see the miracles our
putting Faith in Christ will build your foundation stronger, and that no
matter what gets thrown at you by opposition, it will not phase you!
As a missionary we get to talk to so many different people everyday, and
they tell us things that most people don't really talk about. And that
is God and how God has broken them, and fixed them. But as we are
talking with these people we see the absolutely amazing power and
strength that they have. I always sing this phrase in my head "what
doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I can't help it, I love it. But
what I love is seeing the strength that these people have because of the
things they have gone through and because of the things they have gone
through, you know the amount of Love God has for them. "For with God
nothing is impossible" and He is the one that makes up the difference,
he knows our true potential and will try our amount of faith to make it
stronger. And that is exactly what you could see in this lady that we
taught, and how far she has come because of what she has learned.
It's such a humbling experience to be in the presence of these amazing people.
So
one thing this area is known for is members Dinner appointments, and
tracting... haha and I can bear witness to that. It's so true, but I
love being with the members. We got to meet with the cutest little
family, there is a little girl named Eva and she loved me. I know I was
surprised too ;) Haha the moment we knocked on the door she screamed
"they're here, the missionaries are here!" So she stuck to my hip the
rest of the night showing me all these things and dancing for me. I
loved
it so much; it made me miss Westley. But we were sitting on the floor
playing with all the kids and the brings up this Nerf gun and points it
in my face and is like "look watch what this can do!" I screamed and
dropped,
so embarrassing. She just wanted to show me that it lights up... haha of
course I thought she was going to shoot me... I guess my "South Side
Chicago" reflexes kicked in. Then that Sunday we had to help teach some
primary classes and it turned out that I was helping her class! It was
great. She drew a picture of me and her with a heart, I love little
kids. They really know how to make you feel special... some times haha.
It was a pretty good week all together. I hope that you
all have a wonderful week. Sorry this letter is all over the place.
You guys are great, I love you and I will talk to you next week.
Love, Sister Tincher
