Hello family!!
It has been a really good week, Kinda crazy but way
good! We got news about a week or two ago that our stake was going to
rearrange the ward boundaries. We had to keep it a secret from the members and
it was killing us!! So last night they announced it and so we are free from our
silence! One of our wards got dissolved and so now we are only in one ward. We
still are not sure what our boundaries are but hopefully by the end of today we
will be more informed. We are now just waiting for this Sunday to
know what the transfer news is. There are 24 new missionaries coming in so
we are expecting some big changes to happen! Crazy stuff going down!
This week we were checking on former investigators and we
found this woman named Kristin. She is way cool. She is super open to other
religions and as she was talking to us about her beliefs she was
talking about every gospel doctrine that we teach. I’m still not
sure why she isn't a member yet. She asked us why we think there are so
many denominations and why there isn't just one. (Perfect questions my friend)
we definitely had an answer for her. We started teaching her about the Apostasy
and as we were teaching her face sorta brightened up. She really liked it and
said we could go back to teach her more! :D We are excited to work with her but
we don’t know if she will even be in our area anymore because of the changes!
We have a baptism this week; well as of yesterday another
ward has a baptism for this week. Alex, a 10 year old boy who has been learning
for 2 years, is entering into the waters of Baptism! We are SO excited for him.
Sadly he will be in another ward now but I know that he will love it there too
and the missionaries taking over are good elders so it'll all be okay. This kid
is so sharp. I love him and am so impressed with his desire to learn
and share the gospel! We hope his family will have a desire to learn more from
seeing his determination to follow Christ!
We had Zone Conference on Friday. It was so good! We
talked about teaching Faith and helping others come unto Christ through
Baptism. Sister Rasmussen showed a video of the widow of Zarephath. I have
watched this video many times but this time it hit me differently.
I have come to realize the importance of having the faith to do
anything the Lord asks of us. I Desire to have the faith that this women did. It
would be so hard to give the last bit of food to a random man on a promise that
God would give her all she needed but she did it. I look up to her and i am
working on increasing my faith to this level. I believe the Lord can do all
things and i hope to help others gain this same belief.
We got the chance to watch the YSA broadcast yesterday. First
off I got to see a lot of the members from the YSA ward that I first served in
and it was awesome! I love these people so much! Second the broadcast was amazing!
I would encourage you all to watch it. President Bednar
spoke about being a welding link in our generations and making sure we aren’t
the weak link. I know it can be hard to be in the world and not follow
the temptations of those around us but I know that when we try
our best to endure through our trials awe can become a strong link and our
generations will be continually strengthened!
I am grateful for this gospel and the blessing it is in my
life! Thank you for all your emails! They mean a lot to me and I can feel of
your love. I hope each of you have an amazing week!
Love,
Sister Reynolds
1. a member fed us dinner and we had behemoth burger! It was
so good. It was a grilled cheese sandwich, hamburger bun, 4 pieces of bacon,
grilled onions, pickles, BBQ sauce and another grilled
cheese sandwich for the top bun. I felt my arteries closing
but I think it was worth it!
2. my companion loves me :)
