Hey,
So this week has been pretty good. We have been working like mad
to try and cover both the areas that we have. It has been good though.
We have been able to meet a lot of LARC's and members in the Viera ward.
Just trying to meet people and build up relationships right now. My new bishop
is way awesome and has really been helpful with all the changes that have been going
on as well as the ward mission leader. But hopefully next week when the
transfer ends and I get a new companion up here it will be a bit easier to
balance the area and just focus on Viera and not Melbourne as well.
We have had some great lessons this week though Sister Collins
got sick and stayed at home with a member while Sister Welch and I went
out. We had a great lesson with a woman
named Beatriz Garcia. She is a Spanish lady who doesn't speak English to
well, and so we brought a Spanish member to our lesson to help with
translation. We went in with the intention of teaching the plan of
salvation, but after we said the prayer we went right into teaching about
keeping the Sabbath day holy and the symbolism and importance of the sacrament.
The lesson was way powerful and during the lesson as we spoke about the
atonement and how we access the atonement through the sacrament Beatriz started
to tell us how that was one of her concerns, and how she was worried about
taking the sacrament, because she didn't know if she was worthy or could.
We explained to her why we take the sacrament and that it is not for the
already perfect. She understood and started to cry as she realized the
love that Jesus Christ has for her and that she could participate in the
sacrament. It was a very good lesson. She was able to come to church on
Sunday with her daughter and she loved it so much. She will be baptized
very soon no doubt. She really wants to get into the gospel, and going to
church and learning about the gospel is already changing her life so much. I
just wish she was in Viera, but that's ok. Well this week is going to be a lot
of finding, we still have ton's of work to do in Viera, we don't really have
anyone we are teaching there and so we are going to be tracting a lot. That's
always a joy; it will be good though, at least it's not too cold here. I am
also on Facebook now, which is sooo werid, I always feel so disobedient when I
am on. The mission has it now and all the missionaries get an allotted
time to be on. Don't get mad if I have to delete any of you or not add
you, P Ber is still trying to figure out exactly what he wants as far as the
rules and our usage. We are supposed to be on for an hour each day to do
online proselyting, I still haven't figured out how to really do that, I am
mostly still trying to remember how it all works and how to set up my own page.
But once things get rolling it should be better. But that is pretty much
all for now! I love you all!
Sister
Jamison!
