Literally my favorite part of being a missionary I just
realized is the studies in the morning. We have the 1 hour of personal studies
and I usually start my studies 15-30 mins early because I just love learning so
much! I know that the most important way I will be learning is by applying
things in my life each day but I LOVE my personal studies. I have found a way
to mark things (haha MARK) that works really well for me and I am learning
things that I never saw before and honestly it is making me love them so much
more too! I was thinking this morning that if I were to lose these scriptures I
don't know what I would do! God has provided all the answers to us and I'm
finding that all I have to do is find them!!
This week we had a pretty hard hit, our golden golden golden
investigator Kim recieved the Book of Mormon on Sunday and was to 2 Nephi 14 by
Friday Which is unheard of! Members don't even read that much ahaha but she did
and then on Saturday...she broke up with us over text! C'mon!! Yeah we got a text
that said please don't come by or call anymore. That was a pretty hard blow
because we loved her so much, she reminds me a lot of Jana Morrison to be
honest, just amazing. But she read a lot in the Book of Mormon and so we are
hoping that whatever she heard about our church will be not as powerful as the
truth she read those few days and that sometime in the future that truth will
emerge and she will come back.
We have taken it pretty well because we have seen other
miracles!!! When one door closes and what not right? :) We are super excited,
we have 2 investigators we are most excited for and they both have the same
name! Terrie and Terry. One boy one girl. :) We love them both and are excited
to see them move forward because they both have a testimony of the Book of
Mormon and now it is just helping them to commit to live it!
So much love from Muncie, Indiana! Oh and I am with my old
companion from the MTC, Elder Swainston!!!
