Dear Family and Friends,
This was a great
week! We had one of the greatest dinner appointments ever with the
McBride Family. We taught a really good lesson about the Book of Mormon
and committed them to give away a Book of Mormon and their 7 year old
daughter Mylee shot up and declared, "I want to go give it to our
neighbors right now!" We grabbed a Book of Mormon and had her write her
testimony in it and mark her favorite scripture. Then we role played
with them before we went over. It was a total success and we went over,
they gladly accepted it and the McBrides invited them over to have
smores. It was such a great experience to see a family doing missionary
work, and Mylee was such a great example to her family and us of
declaring the gospel with excitement!
We also
found a new investigator this week named Maffany. He is from Cameroon,
Africa and has a very sweet and gentle spirit. When we were in his home
the spirit was abundantly there. He is seeking for peace in these
turbulent times, and I know he will be able to find it. As he listens to
the spirit with an open heart and mind he will come to know these are
true.
We were also able to pick up an
investigator that dropped us last week. She had the resolve to stay
stuck in the situation she was in. Then she called us yesterday and said
she needed us to come over stat. We hurried over and brought the Elders
with us because she had said she needed a priesthood blessing. After
she received the blessing she told us she wanted to start the lessons
again and to be baptized as soon as possible. It was such a mighty
miracle. I'm so grateful for the Priesthood and that I live in a time
where the fullness of God's power has been restored to the Earth. I love
you all!
Love,
Sister Williams
Look! I made it to Versailles!
The Bed and Breakfast we helped garden at this week. I love this place--it is who I am in a house.
Don't freak out Mom--it is just the leprosy running its course!
Everyone in North Dakota has personalized license plates.
We had a mishap with our car so the Elders fixed it with duct tape. How many Elders does it take to fix a car?
Love reading your posts; very inspiring! I love missionary work and YOU!
