Hello Everyone!
I know changing is hard and scary. But I promise you that if you get out of the comfort zone and overcome your fears, you WILL GROW! You will feel the love from your Heavenly Father! For example, I am learning to overcome my fear of talking to people. I won't be perfect at first, but the more I focus on it, I will be able to overcome the fear of talking with people. Take that big leap of FAITH! It takes courage and integrity! YOU CAN DO IT!
I LOVE being a Missionary! I was talking with Brother Dannehl (Henry) so much about hunting! He's so funny! But the most exciting part about him this week was that he wants to receive the Priesthood! And he's planning on going to the Temple with his wife someday! So excited for him!
My companions and I have been learning from each other and we've been getting along really well! Just got to serve them and tell them that you love them! When you tell somebody that you love them, the more you'll feel it!
We've seen miracles this week! Even by small and simple things! My companion and I wanted to reach the Standard of Excellence in our Mission area. One day we didn't invite anybody to be baptize and we only had one hour left in our proselyting time. We also had to be at an appointment in five minutes. So, we prayed for the opportunity to invite someone to be baptize. We went towards an Appartment complex, then Sister Warren looked up, "let's try this door." We walked up to the door and found out they were already a member. But then all of the sudden we heard a voice in the back, "Yeah, my brother is already Mormon." A young man walked up to the door step. We asked if he was a member, he said, "No." So we got to know him and briefly taught him about the Restoration. Then we asked him, "If you came to know these things were true, would you follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized?" He said no, but we were still about to reach our goal.
Also, on Friday we were in Idaho Falls. We met one of Sister Kolbo (our temporary companion) less active, Kimi. Kimi said that she got to watch General Conference, because one of her friend died the last weekend. Sister Kolbo and Sister Warren brought up how reading the Book of Mormon will bring comfort to her. She tried to side track the idea, and continue to talk about how she was feeling sad.
I then said, "Kimi, when my Mom had cancer, I went in my room and prayed. Then I opened up my scriptures. I love the scriptures so much! I brings me such great joy. Whenever I'm sad or feeling discourage, I turn to the scriptures and my Heavenly Father." I love teaching and helping others to come unto Christ!
I was able to go to the Temple this week! I love feeling the Spirit!
INVITES
memorize and recite "The Living Christ" by January 1st, 2015!
Young Woman: I believe this is one of a project in Personal Progress.
You can break it down and memorize one of each paragraph a week.
Also, go to the Temple! Even if it's just for baptism. The Spirit is so beautiful there!
Love ya'll!
Sister Hatch.
