We had a really good week. The Lord definitely blessed us.
We finally found a new investigator. It's taken awhile. Thursday morning we
were doing weekly planning. I was feeling a little down because it seemed like
nothing we have been doing was working and nothing has really been going
anywhere. I went into the bedroom to grab something and when I walked out Sis.
Hassell told me that we got a Mormon.org referral. So we went to go see this
lady that afternoon. She answered and told us to come back Friday at noon. So
we did and had a really great talk with her. We got to know her and answered
some of the questions she had. She is very active in her church. A security
sale guy was talking to her the other week and talked about his mission and
asked if he could send the missionaries over and she agreed. We gave her a Book
of Mormon and taught her about it and the promise that if we read and pray
about it, we can come to know it is true. She really liked it and was excited
to start reading it. One of the best things about Houston is that no matter how
interested people are, most of them love God and love to talk about Him.
It is so great to be able to hear about their love for Him and how they choose
to show it. And as we talked to this lady, Jackie, you could feel of the love
that she has for our Heavenly Father.
We were also able to meet with one of our investigators that
we haven't seen in a long time. We stopped by a few weeks ago and he told us
that his wife had left him. We were out with a member and went to visit him. He
is doing much better. We were able to talk to him about spiritual awakenings
and how we can get them when we read the word of God and take an act of faith.
We read some Book of Mormon passages to him about how the words of Christ can
guide and heal us.
We were also able to meet with a lady named Courtney.
She lives close by one of our members. Sis. Hassell and her last companion met
her when they were bringing something to the members and they knocked on the
wrong door. We visited her and ended up teaching her a brief restoration
lesson and about the plan of salvation. The Spirit was so strong. And she
definitely felt it. She is very prepared. We just have to get her to take that
step of faith. She has had a very hard life and told us about her experience
with learning about Christ and coming unto Him. It was amazing. The power of
Christ's Atonement is so real. It really can heal everything.
I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Sister Sylvester
