Friday, we had a lesson with this sweet recent convert in the other
ward. She's moving into our ward, so we get to help her and take her
under our wing from now on :)
Saturday was the
day of huge change for me. We went to visit a less active from
Bangladesh. She told us she didn't want to do the "Mormon thing"
anymore, but that the Mormons are always continuing to get her. It was
funny because the night before in planning we weren't going to visit
her, but I felt like we should. I said we have to visit B! So
we did. At the end of the lesson she came back and expressed how she
knows she needs to go to church, she knows she needs to read the
scriptures. She is so sweet and is just in a bad, sad situation.
A couple weeks ago, on my exchange with the Sister
training leaders, I contacted this guy on a tram, he was Muslim but very
nice. I gave him our card and that was that. he called us a week later
and wanted to have a lesson. We tried to set it up, but it didn't work
out. Then on Wednesday, I decided to call him again. He answered and
said yes I am so sorry, can we meet on Saturday at this time, this
place? Kinda cool. So we met him on Saturday. He had questions and they
were really great questions. We talked about prophets and how God will
continue to give us His words, because He works the same. He really
liked that. We shared with him Moroni's promise and he really liked
that too! He said that makes complete sense. Of course God will answer
if you pray to Him. It started from the beginning as just a
informational thing, to being a lesson where he asked if he could have a
Book of Mormon in Arab, and wants to see us again this week. Super
cool. The spirit was so strong.
Then we went street boarding and I talked to this
guy literally for 40 minutes. Nice guy, not really interested.
We had another lesson with a recent convert. It was
good. On our way back we contacted across the
bridge. It was a miracle bridge that night. The first person I contacted
was a young man, not believing, but I asked him what the most important
thing to him was and he said his family! I love that response. We
testified of Eternal families and he wants to learn more. I truly felt
led by the Spirit. Next person. Guy from Fresno, went to church with his
LDS friends for three years before getting married. His wife is atheist
and scared of religion. He described how that is how a lot of french
people are. They are scared of religion because of all the bad it has
done to their country. He was so cool and just told us how he believes
and he wants his daughters to believe but it is tough. Next guy I
contacted looked like a hippie so naturally I wanted to contact him,
right?? He was cool. Then I contacted a kid named
after Micheal Jordan. Super cool. Said he believes, not practicing, also
wants to learn about our message. And another kid also interested.
Sunday We had a lesson with this old investigator,
S, from like April. He was great and basically set up our next
rendezvous. Then we went contacting again and got
another number from M who met with missionaries before! That night
we had a lesson with a potential I contacted after general conference,
wearing a star wars shirt. He was so sincere, expressed how right now
his priority is soccer and if he gets into a religion he wants to be
completely faithful. He said he will start reading the Book of Mormon though because he wants to learn more, and he totally connected with our
member. It was a great day!
I have learned that I can get things done.This is the Lord's work. Anyway, this gospel is true. IT BLESSES
YOU. I love it so much. My knowledge and understanding has expanded
enormously. I love you so much. I don't know if I have time to write you
this week. I'll try! I love you Mom; and Dad. I know this church is
true.
Love; Soeur Roberts
