#LightTheWorld - Bringing in the Awesome!!

The answer to the Universe is.... is..... is.... 42! Just kidding, its

actually Jesus with a side of Service.

Hey Everyone, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I know I did!  We had 3 dinners and lots of leftovers! The people we are working with this week were...

- First Beverly H., we had turkey and showed her the new Christmas movie! #Light The World, then SHE looked up the Joseph Smith movie and we watched "The Prophet of the Restoration" on Youtube. It was awesome! We got to the part when everyone was being kicked out and we had to go, but SHE asked when church was! It was all her idea, she didn't make it to church but shes progressing!

- Walter D. is on DATE!!!! Yay!!! He will be baptized next week on the 9th of Dec. He has been moving fast but he knows what hes doing! The prophet asked us to find young kingdom builders and Walter is Heaven sent! Just a couple more lessons and he'll be in for Life!
- Kathy is also some one we've been trying to work with, she has been going through a lot lately and is finally getting on her feet, she is so spunky, its a blast.

- Kim has really grown, she defended the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith this last week! She also has been able to identify the Holy Ghost in us, she loved her baptism into a non-dom church but knows this is what she wants with her heart. I've loved seeing Kim grow!

  This time of year is special for the whole world, in some way or

another everyone celebrates Sharing, Giving, or Serving. There is

nothing that makes me more happy then Serving others and if that's what Christ did, then that's what we should do!

    One of the best moments on my mission happened after leaving

Wendy's last month. We had been having a morning of no progress,

walking around downtown, when this lady came up behind me and asked if I was a Mormon. I said yes and she thanked us both for the modesty we kept.

This lady has no idea how much confidence that gave me for the day. I felt ten times better!

    Please, never underestimate the power of a complement or a smile. This Christmas will be different because of the service of others.

Join in today and share your talents with others. Lets change the

world though the Light of Jesus Christ! Check it out at Mormon.org

I love you all and will be thinking about you this Christmas season!

Have a great week!

Love, Sister Partridge :)

I'm Grateful for my Savior! What a great guy! :)

 What a good look'n comp.

This week has been incredible all because of the Book of Mormon and my Savior!

- Walter is doing great! He and the Woolstens will be in Moab this

week, but all is good!

- Kim has read almost all of 1 Nephi and knows its true! She has felt

the power of the Book of Mormon and is almost ready to live the word

of wisdom.

- We just met Myla! Myla is a member referral that is agnostic but is

still very interested in coming to church. We will be working with her

now too! Yay member referrals!!!

This week I went back in time to something I like to call Early

Morning Seminary. Wow, is it different then payed seminary! So much

respect! Walter was asked to give a lesson on the Atonement of Jesus

Christ and we were going to follow up with Faith and Repentance. It

was soooo special to read the new criteria for the students, I

absolutely love it!!!

If you ever have a moment look up #3. I haven't felt the spirit as

strong as when I was learning about Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for

me.

  He lived a perfect life but felt the filth of my sins, so I have

the chance to return to my father in heaven. My favorite part to this

whole plan God has set for us is Faith in Jesus Christ and Repentance.

The Faith is key! Repentance means nothing to us and God, if we don't

believe Jesus suffered for us individually. But when we do believe is

Jesus as our Savior, there is no greater joy! Its like Christmas on

steroids!!! You feel lighter, others see a difference in you, and I

know I've seen the difference in me! I'm not saying it will be a cake

walk, on the contrary, if you feel opposition it means you are about

to do something to make yourself or others joyful and someone out

there doesn't want that. In the grand skeem of this life, I could talk

all day long but in the end the spirit will be the converter, here' s

the last of my ploy.

    Have faith in the great plan, in Jesus Christ and let your self feel joy!

Have a great feast with out me, I know it will be hard but I know you

can do it! Haha!

Love ya!

Sister Partridge :)

"Jesus is the real deal!"

Hello Hello Everybody!

This week was magical with the Spirit of the Lord! We had a lot of

appointments fall through this week but obedience and diligence helped

us push though! One big miracle we had was from the Worthington

family, Bro W took us around his neighborhood to show us where his

friends lived and share about there lives so we can "tract" into them

this week! The miracle is being able to see/feel just how much he

loves his friends. There would have been no way for me to feel such a

desire for the salvation of so many without the Worthingtons showing

me! Tracting will never be done with this much love before!

- Walter is soooooo close to being on date, he knows its true, he

loves the "feeling" he gets when he comes to church and he has the

best members helping him through his journey! I'm so glad to be apart

of the Lord's work!

    Walter's dad would always say "When life sucks, it's still

Awesome" and I believe him! Wise words Dad, wise words! He's right,

with faith in Jesus Christ life's still awesome!

    Jesus Christ is still cheering us on! He chose to be the redeemer

in heaven for us! He chose to come to earth for us! Jesus Christ chose

to save not just one or two, he chose to save me and You! Oh what love

that must have been! I want you all to know that I love you and you

all mean so much to me! Thank you for the prayers, Have an Awesome

week...because when it sucks, it's still Awesome! :)

Love ya, Sister Partridge

P.S. Broiling toast is a very bad idea! Lol, our fire alarm definitely

works and the oven is still intact! Ha! Never doing that again...

Miracles for Days!!!

Hey Everyone this week has been buckets of Fun!

Up date on Investigators:

- Bev wasn't feeling good and cancelled this week, but that's okay,

I'll get her one day.

- We Got 3 New this week!!!!! YAAAAAY! Walter D. is so cool! He is 18

years old and dating a member in the ward. We taught the Restoration,

Gospel of Jesus Christ and Plan of Salvation all this week!!! He is

from a Catholic home but has been attending early Morning seminary and

church for at least a month. He hasn't said yes to baptism but thats

not a no...

- Dottie or Dorathy was a member referral from a member in the ward,

she is looking for "something more" in her life and wants a new bible.

She has been talking with at least two of her Mormon friends and wants

a Book of Mormon too! We were going to be meeting her tonight but shes

now sick but the future is bright!

- Brandon is the investigator from last week and it gets even

better... we showed up for our return appointment on Wednesday and he

wan't home but his Mom was! Karen was sooooo excited to see us, she

was kind of all over the place but she kept saying something about

Joseph Smith crossing a river? We eventually learned she was taught

the Restoration two years ago by Elder Kyle Norris (my now District

leader) but the story was never finished! She has been thinking about

Joseph Smith's story for two years and now we, by God's grace, get to

finish that story! Miracles!!! This really taught me the power of

being bold, when we open our mouths for good we can do no wrong!

I love the Gospel!! This is the Lord's work! I want you all the know

that I love you and that God only gives us more then we can handle so

we will turn to him and rise in glory together!

Challenge time! Text the first three people that come to your mind and

tell them how much you appreciate them. The Lord wants to bless each

of us and he does that through You and Me!

Promise: You will feel better, your day will go better and you will

lift all you talk with!

I have felt God's love for me through all of you at one place or time,

Keep being awesome!

Love ya, Sister Partridge

p.s I got a hair cut... yep that's a trash bag! Rock'n it!
