Hey family!:) It has been so warm this week. Warm & humid. & then it poured rain. Sister Giles & I got soaked but it was so fun. Also... humidity is still the worst :) hahah.
This week we had the opportunity to go on exchanges with the Braddock Heights & Harper's Ferry sisters. It was fun being back in Braddock Heights again, where I served about a year ago. I got to see the Macharsky family since we had them for dinner... I just love them:)
In Braddock Heights the sisters had made a "10 ways to find" promise to the Lord. One of their ways was to knock the 5 doors around a potential they had. When we knocked on the 4th door, someone answered & let us in! It was really cool:) Something I learned from Sister Johnson is to always have faith-filled prayers. She is a ROCKSTAR at that.
Wednesday we went on splits & I went with Sister Wheeler. Sister Wheeler is a rockin' 80 year old who loves going out with the missionaries. She & Sister Hendricks are the best missionaries:) We met with a recent convert who's struggling with staying in the church. One of her friend's parents gave her a bunch of anti & it's all the same anti that you hear. Sister Wheeler clarified it all in front of her friend so beautifully & full of love.
Thursday we taught Skylar & Ashley about the Plan of Salvation using Finding Nemo references! Haha it was really cool & it really clicked for them:) We also had a MIRACLE find. When planning Wednesday I really felt like we were going to get 3 investigators Thursday. I just kept promising the Lord that I would do all I could to find them. We were kind of going through a drought of investigators progressing & keeping commitments. That night we knocked on the door of a less-actives neighbor. Their names were Pat & Terry. They were with their 2 grandkids. We taught them all about the restoration. It was the most powerful restoration lesson I have ever been in... their grandsons were listening intently too. & the coolest part is that their grandsons are 8 & 6! So we ended up getting the 3 investigators the Lord had ready. It was super cool:)
Friday we found a new investigator KiKi. We were looking for a potential family- but we found her instead. Her son has autism & she was in an abusive marriage. She loved the Book of Mormon & invited us to come back.
Saturday was hard. We had 6 set appointments & only 1 of them was there. Sometime's it's hard but I know that the best way to show our love for the Lord is through our loyalty to Him. So we continue to talk with everyone we see & invite members to keep coming out with us:)
We are really excited because we get to go to the temple Friday & Friday will become our preparation day. That's why I am emailing in intervals since we had an appointment earlier this afternoon haha. I am so excited for our semi-annual temple trip:) Thank you for all your love & support. I am so grateful for this chance I have to serve. I feel like I have truly come to know my Savior out here. Love you!!:) Xo Sister Stolworthy
PS: No one can ever pronounce my name. My favorite ones this week: Sister Slothworthy, Sister Stolworth, Sister Stolzy :)
