Oh, and this is the best part!!!!!!!! We have been given permission to go to the temple once every 6 months!!!
We had a special training this week and President announced it
at the very end. He almost forgot what it was. When he told us, I started crying.
I am so excited! Anyway, that training was really good. They make these videos that
are meant to get us all excited for the work and they put pictures and quotes and
have cool music in the background. There was a picture of my group as they walked
into the airport in Cincy, and when I looked at it, it struck me how powerful the
people in the picture looked. And then I realized it was my MTC group. It took me
back a second to realize that yes, I am powerful. I am a called servant of the Lord.
I am called of Him to teach his word. I am a disciple of the Savior of the World,
and if I am doing what He asks, there is no force that can stop the work. It's sad,
but I forgot and I needed the reminder. I was sitting next to a sister from my MTC
zone and she reacted the same way. Needless to say, it was a really good training.
Last night was just...somehow...I had a fog over my mind. I could
not think straight to save my life. It was really weird. It's almost like when you
have a fever and your mind cannot function. But I didn't have a fever, or not a
full blown fever. It was really weird. I felt really bad because I was trying to
work, but my body and mind were not connecting. I seem to be a bit better this morning,
but I am still a little foggy. We will see what happens as the day goes on.
Well, we have a few investigators.
1. Bill: Bill is a nice guy. He has some interesting beliefs,
but he seems to absorb knowledge. We had a lesson with him on the doorstep the other
night that was really good. He promised that his first Sunday off, he would come
to church with us. But the reason we had a lesson on the doorstep is not because
he is a single man, but because he has bed bugs. The sisters who were here before
us found out the hard way. Needless to say, we were very thankful they told us before
we went in.
2. Greg: We had a good lesson with him the other day. He is a
widower of about 60. He seems really nice, but the lesson could have been much better.
But he seems willing to let us come back. We will figure it out.
3. Hailey: Hailey is the granddaughter of a less active. She
has had a really hard life and she is just now starting to figure out about God.
She is 20. And our objective is to help her realize that God does love her and that
the Gospel will bless her life. We just have to take things really slowly because
she is very immature, which is not all her fault. Like I said, she's had a hard
life. Anyway, I love her. Slow and steady wins the race.
Ok, well, I love you all and I miss you immensely. I know that
the Gospel is true. The work is hard, but if it weren't the fruits of our labors
would not be nearly as sweet. If the work was easy, Christ would not have been crucified.
If the work were easy, the Lord wouldn't need missionaires: people would just walk
into the font without a fight. I know that the Lord is truly a Lord of miracles
and wonders and that He loves all of us. We are all His brothers and sisters, and
we all have a loving Heavenly Father.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Love, Sister Worthen
