The gospel is True!
Buenos Dias!
Today we found out about transfers... **drum roll**... Hermana Wiggins and I both are staying in Lakeville! This will be her last transfer which means I will be staying for at least one more after this!! Yay! We are both really excited to be staying and also glad that none of our district was changed. :)
This week was a bit tough, but I learned so much! I realized that I was not having the best attitude ever as appointment after appointment fell through. My perspective changed a lot though as I thought about how blessed I am to know the gospel is true! What does it matter if we don't have as many lessons or we get the door shut on us a billion times if we are doing our best to share the happiest news that anyone could ever have? Here is a quote that President shared with us this week from Howard W. Hunter:
"If our lives and our faith are centered upon Jesus Christ and his restored gospel, nothing can ever go permanently wrong. On the other hand, if our lives are not centered on the Savior and his teachings, no other success can ever be permanently right."
President also talked about how happiness isn't the absence of adversary. We can be happy now, even when there are disappointments, if we just remember the glad message of the gospel! :)
We did find some new people with potential this week and our other investigators are coming along as well. O was in California for the past week and just got back, so we should be seeing him this week. We also saw C last night and she seems like she is ready to give living the gospel another shot. Hopefully!
Love you all! Hope you have a great week! :) I think about and pray for all of you!
Love,
Hermana Pierce
