Quick One

We have been teaching one man, who is an eternal investigator as they say (meaning he has been learning about the church for months on end now). There comes a time when you have to say, we have taught the person all we could and now it is time to let them just decide on their own. As a result, we dropped our only investigator this week, which means we are going to do a lot of finding. However, that evening our zone leaders called us, congratulating us on the hard decision. They then expressed a desire to come help us find. The way their schedule worked out, they were in our area the next day for an hour and half finding. We identified the area of Altrincham for them to work in. As a result, they passed along a referral and shared with us some miracles that happened while they were finding. Furthermore, our district leader gave us some of their potential sheets, former investigators and lost sheep. There honestly wasn’t even a moment for me to be sad about the fact that we didn’t have any investigators because I felt the love of my leaders. I know that they want me to have success as much I as want to. It is nice to know that I am not alone in this work; I have truly felt the unity of the mission this last week.

Recently, I have been studying Mormon 9 in more detail. I recognize that Heavenly Father is a God of miracles and I have been diligently praying to help others come unto Christ. However, this morning in my personal study verse 21 stood out to me. It mentions how we need to ask, “doubting nothing.” Just knowing that God is a God of miracles isn’t enough, I need to put my full faith in Him. This means that while I may not have a clue how this miracle will come forth, I need to have that perfect faith it will happen. I know that as we exercise perfect faith that God will grant us our righteous desires, we will see miracles happen this Christmas season.

I am excited to be a missionary right now and there are lots of great things happening. Sorry I don't have a ton of time today (I got everything done in an hour, so I am not going to pay for an extra one). I will be sure to extend my time next week though and let you know more about the miracles that are happening and the people I am meeting. You can look forward to that next week.

Know that I love you and pray for you daily. Keep up the good work and smile :)

Love, Becca (aka Sister Jack)
