Happy New Year Everyone!
Hope your Christmas was wonderful and memorable! This week Sister Richins and I have been on fire!
We got a text from our District Leader a referral we should call and confirm an appointment with.
We called her up and set up an appointment later that night. Here name is Mele! We went to her Apartment. Her Mom belongs to another religion, but her parents wants her to find out which Church she wants to go for herself. Mele has friends in school that are LDS, and they have been telling her about our beliefs. We shared with her about the Book of Mormon and set up an appointment with her! We are so excited for Mele!
Brother Dannehl! Oh my goodness! He gave up on coffee! We even called up his friend, Larry (who he usually go drink coffee with in Idaho Falls), one morning to see if Brother Dannehl wasn't drinking coffee. He was drinking Hot Chocolate! We saw Brother Dannehl last night, and we asked him how he was doing with not drinking coffee. OH NO! He was looking guilty! He wasn't even looking at us in the eyes! I started to tear up, I was so sad for him! Sister Richins and I was able to ask Brother Dannehl if he has a testimony of Joseph Smith. He said, "That's what everyone says." We asked, "But DO YOU have a testimony that he was a Prophet of God?" He nod, "Yes." We had such a powerful and beautiful lesson with him! We are still working on him, he is doing SO GREAT!
This week was amazing! As a District, we made a goal to receive and contact referrals by January 9th. Sister Richins and I prayerfully, during Weekly Planning Session, asked for members or investigators for referrals. Names came to our mind. When we saw those people, almost every single one of them said they were working on someone and suggested us to see them.
Sister Richins even asked the members who came out with us. One of the brethren and his wife said, "Here, let me show you where all those who are not of our Faith lives." He and his wife drove us around and gave us the names and addresses of these people in their Ward.
We've been searching and diligently contacting these referrals. By January 9th, Sister Richins and I planned on receiving ten referrals. But as we kept asking members, finally a miracle happened, and we received thirteen referrals in an hour!
The Lord is blessing us well! We love being a Missionary!
Love you all! Hope you have a great New Year! Keep going! Read your scriptures and say your prayers!
