Hey Friends!
I have no idea where to begin! This week was all over the board!
We played Dungeons and Dragons for the first time ever on Friday with
the sweetest men I have ever met! That was fun, we might go back, I
would love too but my purpose might be else where...
Then on Saturday we had President Robert Gay come from the Presidency
of the 70 and talk about Hell fire!
He put me back on the straight and narrow thats for sure! He spoke a
lot about how Faith and Obedience brings blessings.
My favorite was Elder Sinclair's opening remarks. He started with the
scriptures and taught us all how to use them more in our lives and to
bless our investigator's lives as well.
Any way, Cool spiritual story of the week:
Sister Johnson studied the "Recognizing the Holy Ghost" chapter in
Preach my Gospel yesterday morning and then I'm sure she had a desire
to serve the Lord to the best of her ability. Then we went out and as
we drove we passed a street that she hadn't noticed before, but we
drove on by and later she brought it up but I blew it off.... but it
kept bugging her. We were in the middle of Companionship study when
she brought it up again. I had never had such a prompting to go to
this particular street but I know how it feels to not follow a
prompting when you know its a prompting. So I trusted her. We went to
Maple st. and drove the whole way down to an empty parking lot.
Parked. Prayed. And started to walk, we only had an hour but we asked
the Lord to show us who needed us. We had only walked ten feet before
I saw these three apartment doors and thought this is it! But we said
we would walk the whole street and then tract what we felt. So we kept
walking. Well it turned into a game of Hot and Cold. The farther I got
from the apartments the colder and less motivated I felt. Sister
Johnson felt the same way, so we went back and knocked a couple. We
opened the door to the stair well and it hit me. There was sooooo much
weed smoke I was instantly hi! I turned around and was like "nope, we
out". Then we had second thoughts, everyone needs the gospel and that
includes the weed apartments, so we climbed the stairs and on the last
door we met DJuan the nicest man ever! We asked him about his life and
what he wanted that we could promise him, he opened up and we gave him
a Book of Mormon, then he told us he was house sitting. If we hadn't
followed the prompting to go that day we would have missed helping
this him and his two daughters find more joy and peace. He said he
would read and we could follow up, DJuan is legit!
Moral of the story would be trust your companion and have love for
others written on your heart. With this everything will be just
fine....well also obey the law....thats a biggy!
How do you receive the Holy Ghost? What can you do this week to
improve that relationship? I promise as you do so you will be happier
knowing what you are doing is what God wants and that you will find
Heavenly Father bless you more with the little things that seem super
big to you.
Let me know how it goes this week, I love hearing these stories!
I love you all soooo much I will see everyone in July! Bring on the
Fire Works!!!!
I would also like to let all my mission friends know that I love you,
that wont ever change!
What also wont change is my love for all my friends from College and
Family in Utah, you have all supported me so much and I am so grateful
for all of you! Thanks for changing my life and helping me look to my
Savior!
Have a Great week everyone!
I love you,
Sister Partridge :)
