Hi Family!:) This week was really cool. Tuesday we had Zone Training. Sister Tait and I instructed on using the Book of Mormon as our main source in teaching the restored gospel. We used a talk by Jack Christensen on missionary work. It was a really powerful zone training for me, and I really felt the spirit.
Wednesday was so great because our mission president's wife, Sister Christiansen, and their daughter Camille spent most of the day with us!!:) She had never been out to Woodstock before (since we are out in the boonies haha) and so she got to come with us as we taught our recent convert Mary, a less-active named Sis, and Joyce our investigator. She bore such powerful testimony of the gospel. She is a huge example to me of someone who is Christlike and lives their life as the Savior would. It was a great day:)
Thursday was also really special because we got to go on our semi-annual temple trip. Every 6 months we get to go. I felt such peace as I was there. I felt Gods love for me, I know He loves all of us, and I know He is proud of the work we are doing. As a missionary, I am grateful for the Spirit more than ever, and that we always carry it with us:)
Sister Tait and I picked up 2 new investigators this week thanks to the Lord's tender mercies. So we have 6 investigators right now, which is definitely a miracle, especially out here. As we've taught more with the Book of Mormon, I have seen the spirit start to be more present during lessons:) It is a really cool thing. We were able to teach Jenna from the military academy, at the Wright's home this week.
Sunday we went over to teach a potential and she took us on a tour of her llama farm! Hahahaha 31 llams she has! It was so cool. I lurve Virginia.
Also sad day because everyone said they didn't get my snowmageddon email! Haha. Well 2 weeks ago, the east coast had a record breaking storm called Storm Jonas. We got 30 inches of snow. For 3 days Sister Olsen and I shoveled snow and talked with our neighbors:) I had never seen that much snow in my life. It was great.
I love you guys so much. I love this gospel and my Savior. The Book of Mormon is what's going to help us make it back home. Love you all, have a great week:) Xo Sister Stolworthy
