Hey everyone! great week this week!
this
Monday was Zone development where we get together with our whole Zone
and play games and do sports and just have a bunch of fun! C: It's an
all day thing and they have it because Scotland missionaries tend to
get... well, depressed not only because of the weather but also the
people are hardy and it is a very prominent country for Catholics and
protestants and then the there's people in the middle that just see the
bad that comes from religion and tell you to go away and stop causing
problems. So Zone D is meant to enliven and brighten our spirits. and it
works! C: Im super sore from running around everywhere though XD
This
week was amazing we went on exchanges and I got to be with Sister
Montgomery. We had a great experience when we were headed back to our
flat for the end of the night from Hilltown (about 5min bus ride away).
We caught a bus even though we could have walked (but I've been stuck in
Hilltown before with 15 min to get in the flat for the night and it's a
20min walk! so we took a 22 bus) So we were almost home and I just
randomly decided to push the the stop button and get of at an earlier
bus stop and walk so that we could stop people along the way home. Well
it just so happens that a guy got off at the same one and it was someone
that Sister Montgomery had taught once when she was here for a
transfer back in November or October! His names Nick and he was a
former investigator but he had said that he had been reading the Book of
Mormon on his own! we set up and appointment for the next morning
(which never happens) and he said he wanted to start taking the lessons
again! How amazing is that? That the Lord guided us to be in the right
place at the right time with the right people! All we need to to is
continue trying to do the right things! C:
We
have 3 new investigator friends this week and it's great to feel like
our efforts have paid off. Sister Reed and I have been working for a
long time to be diligent in stopping and talking to anyone and everyone.
We have now beun to see the trust that the Lord is placing in us as we
do our best to talk to all of His children even if they don't want to
listen. As Elder Holland said "Don't you ever! Judge anyone on
whether or not they need the gospel. Christ talked to all. Your most
effective tool that you have are words" How true?! especially in the
account of Josph Smith 1st vision. The adversary can't kill him, he
doesn't have that power. So the next damaging thing he could do was to
bind his tongue. How crazy is that? So remember all- your words are
important!
Got
to go but 3 Nephi 14:9-11. Remember that God loves you and wants the
best for you all you have to do it talk to him through sincere prayer. Our heavenly father loves us and will always give us the best gifts that He can. C:
PS totally didn't pull that scripture out from memory guys, I'm not that good XD haha..
Love you all!
Sister McBride
