So on Tuesday we had district meeting. We talked about Charity, charity is the pure love ____ Christ. fill in the blank(:
We
taught so many less actives this week! It was so solid! And we have
been able to teach a few of them that we haven't been able to get a hold
of forever!!! We just continue to see the miracles!
Everything really
is just going so well!(: Funny story, we had like 10 minutes until we
were supposed to be home, it was dark because it gets dark at like 4:30
now! And we decided to go knock on this house, it looked promising! We
knock and Brother Mcmullen answers the door. What the?! We ate dinner
with them on Sunday
even! We did not realize it was their house! haha! It was hilarious!
They gave us hot chocolate and just laughed it was awesome! haha!
Well then Wednesday,
we taught the Powelson's as we do every week! I just love them(: I am
so glad there are so many cute kids here, without them I would be so
homesick for my nieces!! Well they had this CD that was christian music
that we are allowed to listen to and they let us borrow it for awhile! So Keller and I have been jamming out! haha(: Then there are so many
returned missionaries coming home! It rocks! Sister Keeler and Sister
Smith came out on different nights with us this week! It is so nice to
get fresh ideas and get more fellowship for the people we are working
with! I love it!!
Thursday,
we had our weekly lunch with Sister Jensen as we weekly planned! We
went to see this sweet girl who has cancer and she is up in Calgary
now:( That means things aren't going very well. We taught these two
little unbaptized boys and they were so cute! Braxton wants to be
baptized but we've got to get his dad on board somehow...such a sweet
kid!! Then we taught Melanie! I can't even believe the progression! The
gospel is such a blessing in our lives! Words just don't do it justice.
We helped at Good Sam's on Friday!
Rememberance Day (Veterans Day in the States) is a big deal here! I have been sporting my poppy!(: We need to pay more attention to our
veterans!!! We taught Cheryl after that and we found her primary songs
she can listen to, the only one's we could find were on tape! I felt so
old school! haha! Then we went on splitz with 8th ward and we had some
MIRACLES!!! Sister Keller was able to teach a LA lady and she really
opened up! Me and Sister Wood went to a LA lady who fell away because of
the priesthood, she ripped us a new one! haha! I feel bad for her. She
even served a mission. That's why we need to ENDURE TO THE END.
Especially in these last days. We cannot afford to get confused by Satan's traps. I just love the members here and their willingness to
serve! Brother Wood offered the most sincere and heart felt prayer! He
is a convert and boy is he solid! That's what we are interested in is
converting people not just baptizing them!
I played an accordian on Saturday
haha! We taught Sam that morning and she really has a strong testimony
of the truth of our church! iI is amazing! The Magrath sisters called us
after lunch and said the Mayhues needed some help branding their cows!
YES! It was heaven! It really helped cuz i was feeling bad for myself a
little not being able to heard cows this week! haha Tender mercy right
there(: the only draw back to that was we didn't smell too lovely for
the next appointments we went to! haha! It was well worth it though!!(:
Sunday
yesterday was amazing! We had a family that we haven't even taught at
church! That goes to show how great our members are!! And we ran into
the Moore's who we have been teaching at church too! Sister Smith gave
her homecoming talk and the spirit just spoke to me and I was a mess!
haha! It was so good! She talked about charity. The difference between
charity and caring. Caring is simply just intentions. Charity is acting
because we love them and we LOVE CHRIST! I believe this. And I love my Savior. That is why we are here. And missionary work is not easy because
salvation was never a cheap experience! But it is our calling. Even not
being a full time missionary! We do it because we love the Lord! Hope
you all had a good week!
Love,
Sister Egbert
