This week we have been blessed with even more miracles. God is just so good. A few weeks back, Sister Riggs and her former companion found a super sweet woman named Kathy who had just moved from Utah...and she wasn't a member of the church! 😉 Sister Riggs kept receiving the prompting to go back to their house, so we did about a week ago and her husband answered and talked with us for quite some time. Turns out they aren't just from Utah, but from Draper of all places! :) immediately we started talking about how great Utah is and how good of place Draper is haha. He mentioned how he and his family have missed seeing LDS chapels on every corner. 😂 We talked a little about the Book of Mormon and asked if we could come teach him and his family. He happily accepted the invitation. We were a little worried about how Kathy would feel, but we had faith everything would be okay. Last night we decided to bake them some cookies to welcome them to the neighborhood. They invited us in and both talked with us for about 30 minutes. Kathy really warmed up to us and she also agreed to have us come teach their family. YOU GUYS. This makes FIVE families that God has guided us to! We are teaching five families! 💜😁God is so good.
We all know that there are some very important factors to helping someone gain a testimony:
-The Spirit
-reading from the Book of Mormon with them
-bearing testimony to them
However, this week we have learned of another very helpful tip...BAKED GOODS! There is a man in our area who has met with missionaries on and off for a few years, and when we stopped by a few weeks ago to see if he was still interested, he really was not. He mentioned his two concerns and said he had kind of just given up hope on receiving an answer. He also mentioned that he had just had a surgery. We offered to bake him dinner and he accepted! So this week we baked him a homemade chicken pot pie. Yesterday we had a phone call with this man and he was telling us how delicious the food was and how grateful he was. He wanted to set up a time to meet again. Who knew?! Minister to peoples needs and they will see that you truly care. :) ministering is so inspired!! Thanks mom for teaching me how to cook 😘
Mission life is the best. I hope you all have an amazing week! Find someone to minister to! 😊
Love,
Sister Morris
