Hello hello :) First week of transfers and we made it! My companion is Sister Brinkerhoff from St. George. She is hilarious and so kind. This is her last transfer though :( So I'll only get to be with her a little while.
We found out last Wednesday that we lost our car in this area, so we get to share with the Elders now. If you need a good workout, just bike up a lot of hills and that will do the trick! Haha. It's actually really fun, and you get a lot of funny stares which is just fun too:)
Sunday we got to help Mama put up the plan of salvation and Lehi's Dream on her door. It looks so cute! She is amazing. Then we sang gospel music and it was the highlight of my mission thus far :)
We said farewell to the Richards, but we get to meet President and Sister Christiansen this Thursday! I am so dang excited. Tuesday we said farewell to our district. We also taught our investigator about the Restoration. I got to recite the first vision and it is so powerful every time it is read. What I love about the gospel is that everything intertwines. The Restoration brings us the Plan of Salvation which provides the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everything is everything, I love it. I had the chance to watch the Restoration and it just amazes me that Joseph Smith went through so much. I have such a stronger testimony of God's prophets and apostles than I ever have before. They are men called of God. Through prophecy and revelation. When we follow the Prophet and the Apostles we are following Christ. Especially in our world today when everything can seem so chaotic and messy, the prophet can bring us so much peace. If we follow the Savior's gospel and the prophet, than we will always be okay. We need not fear where to turn or what to do, because the Savior will always guide us. I am so grateful for Joseph and Emma Smith, and all of the Saints. They truly went through so much. I am thankful that I get to be a representative of the true and living gospel. This gospel which was restored and will never leave again.
Sunday in church we learned about covenant keeping women. There are so many in my life, but I had the chance to bring up grandma Tutu and how she took mom and Lani to church all those years ago. I know that keeping our covenants and following the Savior truly can help us become rock solid in the gospel. We will never be perfect, but keeping our covenants provides us a sure foundation.
Oh how I love Christ and what He did for us. He truly can rescue us from any storm we are facing. It is so important that everyone knows that. I love being a missionary, it is a sacred and amazing opportunity for me. I love that the Spirit is always the teacher, and that we can always come as close to Christ as we allow ourselves to. Love you all SO MUCH. You mean the world to me and I pray for you everyday.
Love love,
Sister Stolworthy
