Hey mi familia!
So much fun to talk to you all yesterday! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
MOMMY!!!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ANDREA!!!!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
BRITTANY!!!!!!!! And Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful women out
there who have been such great blessings in my life. Thank you so much for your
wonderful examples and I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday!!
I don't have very much to say from this week. Not because
nothing amazing happened and not because I told you all everything yesterday
already. Mainly because I left my planner at the Bishop's house after calling
(worst thing to do EVER) and without it, all my memories of the past several
weeks are mushed together into one haha. But I will try!
T... is awesome but he hasn't been progressing very much
lately. We were trying to figure out what we were going to teach him to help
him up his motivation to act. We had a few ideas but nothing really
felt right - even getting to the lesson, we parked in the parking spot and said
a prayer together. Sister Gillins, Sister Perreira, and I all received a
feeling that we should change up our teaching a little bit and bear
our personal testimonies. Sister Gillins and Perreira both picked their
favorite scripture that helped them out during a hard time in their life and
decided to share their experience with that. I picked a song that brought
me a lot of peace and chose to sing that. We went into the lesson, and the
spirit was so strong it was incredible. T... felt it as well and it was
really cool to experience that together. Even with this experience we know that
he still has his agency to choose if he wants this in his life, but
I DO know that God has not and will not forget him, and has been
giving T... many opportunities to feel the power and peace of the
Spirit in his life. Keep him in your prayers!
So some other sister missionaries gave us a referral they
received from a non-member that they had tracted into (blessings of asking for
referrals EVERY TIME) -> This lady said no at first, but as the
sisters were leaving she said "Wait.... I just thought of someone I
think you should visit. Come in." They went into her home and
she told them of a friend who was dying from cancer, who lived alone, but
was very religious. This lady, her name is M..., lives in our area so we
went and visited her. We knocked several times and were about to leave when the
door opened. The spirit immediately was so strong. Haha she was reading the
Bible just as we were knocking on the door and that got her really excited.
Besides the landlord and his daughter (his daughter was the one who sent the
referral) we are the first people to have come and visited her at her home. She
has no connection with technology ("what's Google?") - she never
leaves her home, even for food she orders it and has people bring it
to her because of her cancer and stuff - she LOVES the Bible - she
has heard bad things about our church but she said that she could tell that we
were normal people and that it made us happy so she would love to hear more.
She is being so prepared by a Heavenly Father that LOVES her. It's the best.
I'll keep you posted.
We had a lot of opportunities to OYM this week and it was
the best! I LOVE TALKING TO PEOPLE!!!!! Elder Urrutia and Thompson saw Sister
Gillins and I contacting on the street this week and took of picture of it.
Kind of fun. I will send it.
Well I know this gospel is powerful and this is a message
fore everything!!! I love my Savior and I love being his representative. We are
ALL His representatives! Mosiah 18:8-10. Thank you all for everything. I love
you with all my heart! Make it a great week!
Love,
Sister Bodine
This must have been after this man saw that we were sisters and began bowing down to us. Haha we get that a lot ;)
