Follow Him :)

March 21, 2016

Hey family! Happy Easter! So grateful for this beautiful week & season. It has been really cool getting to hand out the #Hallelujah cards to people that link to the followhim.mormon.org website! You guys should check out the videos on there- they are really cool!! :)

Time flew by this week! Sister Jensen and I biked a ton hahahaha. The roads are really crazy & busy here but they are more flat than Virginia so I can't complain :)

We had a cool lesson with our investigator Shantavia. We taught her about the Book of Mormon. It was really cool to see her opening up & asking a lot of questions about what the book of mormon can do for her:)

We went and visited the lady who called us & said she wanted us to come to church. So we went and saw her & she told about all the challenge's she's faced in her life. She has gone through a TON. We felt impressed to share Helaman 5:12 and talk about God's love for her. We were supposed to go back and see her this week but sadly she is on house arrest.. :( It is a bummer but her desire to change is so real. We really need to counsel with the Lord on how to best help her.

This week we had a lot of appointments fall through, but that's okay. Just another part of missionary work. Since sisters hadn't been here in over a year it's a lot of sifting through to see who is still in the area since it can be pretty transient out here.

We got in with a less-active who the sisters hadn't been able to see since they got here. Her husband wasn't home so she let us right in and we had a mini testimony meeting and she talked about how she wanted to get back in the church & about how early morning seminary changed her life even though she hasn't been to church in 30 years. She still remembers how she felt there. So cool! :)

Yesterday we had bible study at the church with some of Sister Jackson's friends. I am trying to get through the bible before I get home from my mission. As I was reading in Matthew about the Savior in the Garden of Gethsemane I was overwhelmed with love. I know the love required for that great endeavor was immeasurable. I also have such a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon. As I read the bible I am so so so grateful we have even more scripture that testifies of Christ! :)

Funny story this week... we were biking and one of the roads were closed down because of construction. We decided to still try and bike through it. Well there was soft mud EVERYWHERE. It got all over my shoes, skirt, and bike hahahaha. It was not good. So much mud! Oh man, missions are great:) I hope you all have a happy Easter. So grateful I get to share this special day this year!:) Love you love you. Xo Sister Stolworthy
