My Time With Other Servants of the Lord
Hola! Wow this week has been INCREDIBLE! What an amazing experience that it was to see an apostle of the Lord and a member of the Presidency Seventy! It was just so wonderful to be in their presence and to learn from them! They were all there at the door to greet us as we walked in and so we were able to have 30 seconds with them one on one kind of. Elder Cook testified a lot about how much the Lord truly is hastening His work and that we truly have to be prepared! He also talked a lot about how important it is to work with members and that we should take our time to get to know them. It was really awesome and I am sorry I am having a really hard time putting it all into words! Then Elder Callister came to our Stake Conference and he gave an awesome talk about what makes our church the true church. I wish I could just replay the talk for you because it was soooooo awesome! He talked about how the bible is a blueprint for the true church and went through all of the principles of the true church and then said "what does the blueprint have to say?" It was wonderful to see how the bible testifies of all of the points of the true church because their are so many people who think that we do not believe in the bible but we do and we even use it as a blueprint for our beliefs. It was once again for the hundredth time so great! He is an incredible speaker.
Sorry this e-mail is not going to be too "meaty" because I am having a really hard time concentrating because we are going to the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE soon and I am SO EXCITED!
We are seeing so many miracles as we apply all the things that we have been taught and we have 6 investigators progressing and we are trying to find more! Life is good! Transfers are this upcoming week and I am really just like whatever happens is of God and I will just go and do what he commands.
This is an experience that happened to us as we have been trying out the new tracting technique.This is in the words of Hermana McKay because she is so nice and is letting me copy her!
"We had an amazing experience this week. We were tracting and were rising up to our calling and authority and servants of the Lord and offering to bless people's homes and lives. As we approached an apartment, the door was already open. A nice young mother came to the door and quickly said, "Oh I'm not interested." As quickly as I could I responded, "Oh, actually we're servants of God and we are here to bless your home and your family." Her countenance instantly changed as she came closer to the door to be able to talk with us more. We asked her, "If God were here, what would you ask him for." She said, "Health, mostly for my kids and help with my family." And then, she began to cry and explain that she had recently left her husband and is now a single, working mom and her son is dealing with really bad asthma. She said, "This is so weird because I've just been praying for help and you're here. It's just weird." We testified that it wasn't just a coincidence and that God sent us there to bless her right now. She let us in and we talked to her two adorable children about what they would ask God for. And then Hermana Andrews said a beautiful prayer. The spirit was with us and filled their home and her heart. She felt so good and has an appointment with the english elders this week. "
It is such an amazing experience to just admit that we are servants of God and want to bless them. My title to this e-mail has to do with that President Alba kept pointing out that we kept saying that we got to be with servants of the Lord but we are also servants of the Lord.
Sorry this is such a random letter and not very good but I shook hands with an apostle! Wooo! Love you so much! Thank you for all you do for me!
Con mucho mucho amor,
Hermana Hillary
