Hi everyone!
This is been a really great
week! The mission is my favorite place to be - as usual! We got to go to the Gilbert
Temple on Tuesday! It was so beautiful! I had never been inside before, so it
was a really great experience. We went with some members we have been working
with for a bit now! It was so great to be in the House of the Lord with
them!
I just wanted to share a miracle
from Thursday. We have been working with a woman named Marjory for the past few
months. She has been meeting with missionaries for like a year! The lessons
have never really clicked completely with her, so she doesn't have a lot of
motivation to come to church or anything. On Thursday, Sister Bound and I both
were looking through our area book to see who we could find. Both of us turned
to each other and said we felt like we needed to go see Marjory that moment.
Immediately, we drove up to Marjory's apartment, and just as we pulled up,
Marjory opened her door to sit outside with her dog. We jumped out of the car
and ran to her. When she saw us, she started crying! She explained, "I had
just prayed for the first time in a long time that she could find comfort and
peace, and then BAM here you both are!" We sat down and talked to her for a
while, and testified of our Heavenly Father's love for her. We all 3 ended up
in tears! The Spirit was so strong!! AND, Marjory told us that she wants to be
baptized!!!!!!! AND, that she wants to go to church!!!!!!! I am so thankful
that Heavenly Father led us to find Marjory that day. I know He will also lead
you in your every day lives - if you let Him.
We also went on exchanges the
other day, so I was with Sister Jun! We had a lot of tender mercies happen
while on exchanges! We were able to make appointments with 3 different people
who would never answer their doors before. So cool! We are looking forward to
working with so many new people!
The Lord really does love us. I
am so thankful for the time I have as a missionary to see people's lives change.
I have witnessed the Spirit touching a person's heart for the first time. It is
the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I love helping others come closer to
their Savior!
I hope everyone had a great
Mother's Day! I am truly blessed to have my beautiful mother in my life! Shout
out to Momma Valenta!!! I love ya!!
Until next week everyone!!
Love,
Hermana Abigail Valenta
