This week was amazing. To give you the whole picture of how trulymamazing it was, I must give you some background. Okay, so two weeks ago during one of our morning prayers I felt like I needed to pray for a test of faith as we were finding people. Why? I have absolutely no idea. But I did as prompted and prayed for a test of faith...and also strength haha :) well...the next two weeks were really super hard. I don't think we had more than five conversations that lasted longer than three minutes in a span of 16 days. We were both having a hard time. Sister Gruver had someone on date for baptism nearly every week last transfer, so Dublin was a change haha. You really learn to have super meaningful prayers when you've got your companion to talk to or Heavenly Father. Well, we kept smiles on our faces, we kept testifying of Christ, and we kept knocking on doors. You know the scripture in Ether that talks about how miracles come after a trial of your faith? Well...that is the most true statement in the whole world. :) after two weeks of hardly anyone giving us the time of day, Heavenly Father guided us to some amazing people. :) we got eight new investigators this last week, and nearly all of them seem genuinely interested! :) thank you so much to everyone's prayers. They help SO MUCH!! :) the past 5 days we have had so many meaningful and uplifting conversation, people have been so kind, and they have expressed their testimonies of the Savior as well. :) it's seriously been an amazing week. We have at least one lesson nearly every single day this week!! :D
At zone conference last Wednesday we got news that our mission has been assigned to be an online proselyting mission! Don't worry, we still spend the majority of our day outside talking to people face to face. :) We just have the opportunity to Skype people to teach lessons if they're busy, or send them uplifting things through messenger! :) it's amazing the miracles our mission has already seen. Sister Gruver and I were actually asked by someone from back home if we could teach them, and President Stratfird gave us permission!! :) It's amazing because we can get permission to teach anyone from anywhere in the world!! :) I've always thought of social media as a tool for the adversary, but now it is so clear that it is a tool the Lord has provided to further his work!! :) the internet is a way that you can reach hundreds of people around the world in a moment...thinknof all the good that can come from that!! :) haha I guess I'm kinda slow to figure this out 😂
I hope you all are having an amazing end of summer...it has cooled down quite drastically in Ohio, and the leaves are starting to change colors. :) if there were mountains here it would be perfect :) a few shoutouts--happy belated birthday to my dear amazing older sister Kelcie!! I'm the worst and forgot to mention last week :( you should all have a dance party with her to celebrate :)
happy birthday to cousin Mitchell aka Chim! :) (Kelcie might be the only one who gets that...)
Thank you Grandma Lorraine and Grandpa Mickey for the cookies and letter!! Sister Gruver and I devoured those cookies so fast! 😂
and last shout out to Elder Hunter Steffen!! :) wooaahh! You're half way there!! :) keep up the amazing work in the jungle :)
Hope you all shine with happiness everyday!! Love you all lots and lots!! Don't forget that! :)
Be happy
Sister Morris
