Hello Friends and Family!
Things
have been good here! We had a wonderful Valentine's Day. :) We had
visited our Less Active family twice and they came to church. We were
sick that day but they still came. That was two weeks ago. We went over
Saturday night and had a discussion that changed our relationship for
the better, and they came to Church the next day too. Even if they think
it's only for their girls, they still came to church. It was
remarkable. I know the Spirit was there and was SO SO strong. So given
time and a new way to help them through the members, they can be
spiritually edified and uplifted that will help them enjoy their times
spent in the temple. :)The Little girl was running around in Gospel
Principles and filled the room with a special spirit. The lesson was on
The Fall of Adam and Eve. And without the fall, That precious little
tike wouldn't have been there. We wouldn't have been there. Without
good, we'd never know bad. But without bad, we'd NEVER know good. Any
good. The Good of the Father, the Good of the Son, the Good of families
and temples and everything. It was a great lesson and we loved having
them there. They haven't been to Church in years because she has a
hardship with a personal loving relationship to God. It's always been
out of fear. Not love. So we've been trying to help her feel loved by
Heavenly Father and help him come to know he can find truth through
Sincere Prayer. It's always hard when people look up Anti information.
So it made it hard on him. All of it has been wonderful.
We've
been working hard and finding new ways to connect with the ward. We've
been trying really hard these past few days to make a plan and execute
it. We did that yesterday with Brother Matthews. We're going to be
experimenting again with some less actives and those who we can't get a
hold of. So we'll see what happens. We're going to work really hard this
week. Last week, not sure what happened. We had an interesting week to
say the least. Satan had his hands in the work. But we were able to take
the Sacrament yesterday and it helped us feel rejuvinated. The
cars were grounded yesterday due to snow so we took to calling people and having conversations
with them about the Savior and His love for all of us. Even the love of
God. Through His love, we can come closer to Them and be able to Return
to live with Them someday. I'm excited to do all I can to help me come
to know Them. I've come to know Them so well since being a missionary.
I'm excited for more time with Christ and my Father in Heaven.
It's been a great week and we're going to do even better this week. :)
Monday,
great P-Day! Played a ton of Soccer and had a blast! It feels like
Warsaw again! WOO!!!!!! Then we had a Swiss dinner that involved melting
cheese over potatoes and cooking Garlicky Shrimp as well. Mom, I want
one. It's a cool Machine. :)
Tuesday, We came
up with a new lifestyle change (because diet has the word DIE in it and
that's how I feel when I think about it) that will help us lose weight
and just feel good about what we're putting into our system. :) we saw a
ton of people, went tracting for a bit. Found out where a Less Active
lives so that's cool. Had a good day. :)
Wednesday, Tracted, taught a Recent Convert, and Had really really good Roasted Chicken for dinner. Oh. Man. Good stuff. :)
Thursday,
had a lunch "date" (JK!) with some elders on their way to Avon for an
exchange. They're kind of assistants but not really. They work with
LA/RC's from the White River/Crossroads area (Basically Indianapolis
area). We had pizza. :) It was really good. :) Then we tracted and
taught three lessons in an hour before dinner. Had three really solid
lessons. :) Spirit = STRONG!
Friday, District
meeting, had lunch, partied, tracted, Recent Converts, partied, Drove
home, Partied and then slept. :) Haha we always have fun together,
Sister Simmons and I.
Saturday, Had a birthday
brunch for Sabrina (Nicole's Daughter). That was a blast. :) We got her
Roses and Nail Polish. It was a hit! :) Went to a basketball game but
missed it entirely. So we actually get there and no one is there... That
was a bummer. So we made an appointment with the family we missed. :)
Had Curry. Met with the Bullocks! Our amazing Less Active family. :)
Sunday,
WE GOT SNOWED IN! Cars were grounded after we had had a couple of
lessons and we spent our night calling people and spreading Gospel Love.
:)
1 John 4: 18-19. :)
Love you all! Hope your day was wonderful and that you have a wonderful week! Love you!!!
Love,
Sister Halverson
