A couple of pictures that sister McBride sent today. Sister McBride with her companion and Elder Gates the one on the right and Elder Perry the one third from the left have both left to go home this week.
Looks like a great bunch of missionaries!
Sister McBride's weekly letter:
Hi ya! to answer your question about our new baptism scheduled for Feb 19th well, Mark and Lilly are awesome!!
Basically Lilly has quite a bit of a religious bckground. Her and Mark
recently married though they're probably in their late 30's or 40's and
Lilly used to live in Milaysia. She said when she moved she felt
Heavenly Father urging her to go to church but all the churches she went
to didn't feel right to her but the Sister Wilkinson and Sister Johnson
(sister before me) slipped a Mormon.org card through their door and
Lilly said she got so excited and felt the Spirit and teared up and
everything. She told Mark this was the one and she txt the sisters later
that day! How awesome is THAT!
We taught them after church
yesterday and they brought a deaf friend named Andrew who also really
likes learning about the gospel so we have another investigator! :D The
spirit is very strong when we teach them. Lilly is able to understand so
quickly. She said (when were explaining the Plan of Salvation) that she
heard someone telling her and helping her understand what we were
saying and then she was able to help Mark better understand because he's
had no religious background! It's so cool how she understands a great
deal more than what we signed to her. They are so cool!! They really want to
start bringing their friends and stuff and they're just amazing.
Margret is great, but she has
a lot of problems 'knowing' things are true. You know like we say we
know we can return to live with Heavenly Father but she has trouble
saying she knows. She believes but she tells us we can't really
know.... anyway well figure her out soon enough
Last story: miracles
happen!!! So.. Sis wilkinson and I were at Alisons house (a recent
convert of about a year who feeds us and goes on joint teaches with us
and is basically just fabulous) in Woodside. We were waiting for a
bus but thought we'd missed it so we started walking to a different stop
to hopefully catch another. Of course just as we got far enough here
comes the bus! so we book it back to the stop just in time! (picture me
with a heavy side bag spriniting in boots and a skirt... it's pretty
rediculous :) ) anyway in that process I lost my wallet but did'nt know
till we got on the bus and it drove away! I was freaking out! (it was about
8pm) Sis wilkinson called Alison and asked if she'd go out looking. All
this time I'm just praying an praying that someone kind will find it!
It's got my mission debit card, my regular debit card, my library card for
the computers at the library, and my weekly bus pass! anyway we were lucky
and Alison came across a group of girls who had found it and asked her
if she was looking for a little black purse. They were so nice and were
about to turn it into the police but luckily Alison came by just in
time!!! Prayer is one of the greatest things of ever!!! It was a
miracle!
Jacob 7 is also, so good! (random scripture popping into my head)
Anyway I hope everything is
going well with you all. Tell dad sorry I didn't get
to write to him personally but I am staying warm and I do have those
holy crap I'm in Scotland moments.... haha.
I love you all a ton!! Pictures will come later today! The gospel is true! and changes lives...
This is a picture a sweet sister took of her at one of their dinner appointments and the sweet sister send it to me via FB message. Love that sweet missionary of mine!!
