Wow it was another long and crazy week. I don't even
remember most of the things we did.
Our neighbor moved to Ohio for a little while. That was kind
of disappointing. I wrote her a card before she left and took it to her telling
her how impressed I was with her faith. I hope that she'll be able to continue
learning about the Church while she's there. It's the most heartbreaking thing
to see people gain a witness of the truth and then turn away from it.
We had a pretty powerful lesson with Nick about scripture
study. We talked about how we can gain revelation from our scripture study. I
have such a testimony of effective scripture study. I know that the Lord
answers our prayers through the scriptures.
We had a lesson with Sharon and we talked a lot about the
temple. She is so eager to go to the temple and she's very enthusiastic to be
involved in family history work. She and Rob have decided to get married in May
and they are looking forward to getting sealed next December. They're preparing
to go on the baptismal trip our branch has in a few weeks. They're conversion
is impressive. They have such firm testimonies that this is the Lord's will for
them. She told me that for their honeymoon they planned a road trip that will
take them past several temples while they drive to San Diego so they can look
at all the houses of the Lord. Their righteous desires amaze me.
I continue to find opportunities to use my musical talents.
In a strange way, I really feel like my talents have grown immensely on my
mission, even though I don't practice very much. I played the piano at the
baptism in another ward this weekend. I'm grateful for all the talents the Lord
has blessed me with and the opportunities I have to use them to bless the lives
of those around me.
The Church is true! And that's really all that matters.
Missionary work is hard, but the Lord is always in the work.
Have a great week!
With love,
Sister Jasperson
