Important Experiences

I've had some really touching and important experiences happen this past week. I didn't want to share them over the group email. Yesterday we met with a family for dinner, they're awesome! We shared the message of the restoration afterwards and bore powerful testimony and then asked who they knew that could benefit from this message. It was quiet and they thought of a couple people. But after the lesson, the brother said "Thanks elders. We really appreciate it. I can feel the spirit when you guys teach. You are awesome missionaries". It really hit me because I know I only have so much time left where people will say things like that.

 

 

And then right after we went to another family's house for Elder Cusworth's birthday and they said the same thing! They thanked us for our service and hard work and told us how much they loved us and how impressed they were. The sister said, "I want my boy to grow up and become like you guys". I wanted to cry.

 

 

And then last of all, Elder Sitati of the seventy... Wow. He is amazing. Being able to be close to him and converse with him is just mind blowing to me. We had dinner with him and president mella sunday night and discussed the work in the mission. I mean, it was crazy!! I was thinking the whole time, "here's a guy that I have watched speak in general conference numerous times over the years as a young boy, and now here I am sitting across a dinner table from him talking and discussing the Lord's work together". One of the Lord's anointed!!! It was such an incredible experience to do that with both Elder Hamula and Elder Sitati. I am full of gratitude. I often think, what did I do in order to have such special experiences like these? I am weak and so unqualified.

 

 

I just love this work so much.
