So this week, we taught Judy. It was a really good lesson. She
is so ready to do what it takes to make it to heaven, but we can't get her to
church. It makes us so sad. And because we can't get her to church, we have to
reschedule her baptism until the first Saturday in October. We were originally
aiming for the 21 of September. Oh well. We love her so much. She is such a
wonderful person, and she wants what's right for her and for her kids. If only
we could get her to church.
Ok. So this is really cool. This past week was transfer
week, and in our zone, we got three new sets of missionaries. That means that
we got 6 new missionaries, and we are expecting at least three new
companionships within the next two transfers. Currently, we have 14
companionships. We have the largest zone in the mission, and we consist of the
leaders of the mission. We are nothing but leaders. We have the AP's, 3 sister
specialized training leaders (like zone leaders, but for sisters), two?
district leaders, and everyone of the missionaries, except our zone leaders,
are training new missionaries. So that means that we have a lot of leaders. People
should look up to us to find answers. So, we have set some really amazing
goals. For this month, we as a zone, are aiming for 230 member present lessons,
which are vital!, 210 new investigators, and 15 baptisms. In October, we are
aiming for 310 new investigators, 410 in November, and 510 in December. Can you
imagine how many people that is. If you do the math, that is over 1000 first
lessons alone. And we don't have numbers for member presents and baptisms
decided yet, but that number will also increase. How amazing is that? Oh, and
Sister Savage and I have prayed and we believe that there will be 6 baptisms in
this transfer alone in our area of Oxford. That is almost half of the zone
goal! But while we were talking about goals, the idea was raised that if we
allow our doubt to overcome our belief these goals will never happen. So, our
new motto has come from Mark 9: 23, 24 (think). It's when the dad brings his
son to Christ and asks him to cast out the devil and heal him. Christ tells him
that if he believes, all things are possible. He replies, "Lord I
believe. Help thou mine unbelief." So, that is our motto. We are going to
pray so hard to overcome our doubt.
Yesterday, our branch president pulled us out of RS and told
us that he is going to get a Face Book page ready for the branch, and wants us
to be involved in that. We can't yet, but we will as soon as we receive training
for it. But he was sooooo excited. I have never seen him so excited about
anything. He is so excited for missionary work. He wants so much for his
branch, but the members haven't been ready. But I think they are now. So the
work is going to explode! I am really happy.
Well, I don't have a lot to say this week. I will let you
go. But pray for us. This is a miraculous goal, and one that will be impossible
if the Lord is not involved. But with Christ, all things are possible. I love
you all, and am praying for you. Keep up the good work. The Gospel is true, and
this is the only correct church on the earth.
Love, Sister Worthen
