Dear Family,
Wow the Lord truly is blessing us. This week we were CRAZY BUSY. So busy that we literally were running from appointment to appointment. I think the Lord...is blessing me with keeping me very busy so I don't think about home.
We had Zone Conference this week! It was incredible. It was sad because it was my very last one. The instruction given and the spirit there always pumps me up! I was involved in a role play and I was the "member present" as the missionaries taught an investigator. It really hit me that soon that truly would be my role. That I no longer would be the full time missionary, and no longer the teacher, but the fellowshipper and friend. It broke my heart to know my journey here can't stay forever, but I am so grateful for my incredible experiences that I have had, and honestly my mission has made me know how to be the best member missionary, because before I honestly just had no clue.
This weekend we took one of our investigators to a baptism. Little did I know the baptism was someone in Regal Park!!! I got to see all my recent converts and the members! It was such a tender mercy! The ward and the missionary work has just sky rocketed since I left! The man who got baptized married his wife a little over 18 years ago, when they were newly weds she joined the church but he never really wanted to be a part of it. It took him 18 years before joining her in the Lords Kingdom! I was in shock when I saw him because when we would go over there to teach his family, he was always nice but never interested. It just shows its all in the Lord's timing! T., an investigator I taught a year ago, who I had one of the most amazing spiritual experiences with giving her achurch tour was there too! The sisters just started teaching her again! So I just was overjoyed! Of course seeing Sandy was the biggest blessing though! She plans on going through the temple very soon, and it is just a blessing I get to be a part of that experience with her!
I just feel the Lord is truly showing me and pouring down blessings of all the hard work I have done over the course of my mission! F, one of the people I knocked into a year ago that we contacted, went missing in action for like 2 weeks. I was so sad, but last night he called! And he said he was so sorry he hasn't gotten back to us, but just a lot has been going on, we told him how Heavenly Father loves him and is so aware of him, or he wouldn't have led us to him! He told us thankyou and said he is so grateful he hadn't completely given up yet. We are meeting with him this week. :) I am SO excited!
...
I love you all so much!! The church is SO true. I have witnessed miracle after miracle after miracle. I think I need to write a book of them all! Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Turner
