Birthday week

Dearest Family,

 

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MARYN AND BLAKE THIS WEEK!!!!!!!! I hope y'all got my birthday cards!

 

We had a really great week this week! I am super grateful for the miracles that I've seen this week. Heavenly Father has definitely been helping me out extra. We have been learning about being bold in lessons and what that means. I have noticed, through my scripture study this week, that there is a pattern of boldness that all of the prophets use. It's referred to as "plainness". I have been reading in Alma about Alma and Amulek as they are preaching in Ammonihah to the wicked people there. The people are angry with them because of how "plainly" they preach to them. There are people though that were prepared to harken unto the teaching of God, and they repented. The Spirit was able to touch their hearts more powerfully because of the simplicity of how they taught the doctrine of Christ. I was able to have a few really powerful lessons this week. We had a great one with the Llanas family. It was my Zeezrom experience. Jose, right after the opening prayer just started sweating bullets. And he just says, "Man, I guess I feel really guilty". We had a really powerful lesson about the Atonement and how he can be freed from his guilt. We had another lesson with Rosa Marrufo, we haven't taught her in a while, but we taught her a powerful restoration and she accepted a baptismal date! It's her time to change. She is more open to the Spirit. I love being a missionary and being able to help other come unto Christ through simplicity.

 

A super funny thing that happened this week! So Hna. Wilzbach has been reading the Book of Mormon a lot before bed, she is trying to finish within a set time. So this one night I get up to use the bathroom and I come back and get into bed, just about to fall asleep again and I hear, "Verily, verily, I need help!" Ha ha ha she should read less...

 

Well Family I love y'all so very much! I hope everyone has a great week!

 

Love,

Hermana Florence
