Well, this week has been really good. I have felt much better.
Sometimes I think I am as bipolar as the weather is. But I take the ups whenever
they come. It's funny, this morning I was looking back through my MTC notes, and
some of the things I learned while I was there, and I found one on my 1st day
there that talks about what I think my purpose is. At the end, it says I am
going to help people. I thought, man, if I'd looked back on this last week, I might
have had an easier week. I knew it 6 months ago, and I have forgotten. But now I
remember.
Ok, so as far as experiences go, we had a really cool one yesterday.
Since yesterday was Fast Sunday, we were fasting until our dinner at 6:00. We met
with a less-active/part-member family. The husband is a member, but fell away years
ago. The wife is not a member. It was funny because they offered some food, and
I said yes, and then I remembered we were fasting. The wife asked us about it. We
explained why we were fasting and such. And then Rick, the husband, jumped in and
started talking about Whitney Huston and her 5 #1's on her debut LP. Linda just
shook her head. We all knew that he was just trying to distract us. He tried to
get her to follow his line of conversation, but she stopped him. She told him that
we were talking about the church, and not Whitney Huston. And it was really cool.
We got to explain testimony meeting, and how we share experiences. The Spirit was
present, and even if he didn't want to talk about the church, she did. And when
we explained testimonies, we didn't use the word testimony, but he jumped in and
told her what it's called when we share like that. And then he shared what's left
of his. He remembers things from Vietnam that I am sure he holds very near and dear,
and he told us about a time he almost died and he did some real soul searching praying.
It was awesome because he volunteered it. He tries to distract us, but he also will
join us if he can't beat us, if ya get my drift. It was really cool.
Also, I forgot to mention this one from Cherry Grove. So before
we left, we had a lesson with our investigator, Jada. We were studying the Plan
of Salvation and I felt impressed to make sure I knew where it talks about baptizing
little children in Moroni 8. So when we got to the lesson, we started talking and
she asked about it. We started reading Moroni 8 and it was so powerful. The Spirit
was SO STRONG!!!! It was so amazing. I love the Plan of Salvation.
Ok, I gotta go, but I love you all. I know this church is true
and that the Lord loves each of us. Don't forget that.
Love, Sister Worthen
