Dear Family,
This is the warmest December I've ever experienced. It's tripping
me out. Everything is going well. We are just plugging away and things
are good. Guess what! I am sitting here typing in the library and
totally got a new investigator. :) This lady
next to me just asked for help. I (miraculously) was able to help her
with this computer stuff. She kept saying, "I love you! You are
beautiful!" Then as I introduced myself, she looked at my name tag and
said, "my daughter has been wanting to go to that
church! I have sunday off, we will be there! " No way. She said,
"God is in everything!". He sure is.
Get this. I should get the diligent missionary award because guess
what I started doing. I have started writing scriptures on little
notecards and memorizing them while I exercise in the mornings. I
started this past week and I've already memorized
close to 10 I think. Most of the ones I've memorized so far have been
scriptures about the apostacy. Well this has prompted the invention of a
sweet awesome game. The other day, Sis B was touching her ear like it
was hurting her. She had a pretty bad ear
infection a while ago, so I asked her if her ear hurt. She said "No,
it just itches". I said, "Well you know what that means don't you?"
..."no..". "Apostacy. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the times will come when
they will not endure sound doctrine, but after
their own lusts they shall heap to themselves teachers, having itching
ears. I'm brilliant!" She wasn't even impressed. But I was. I then
created the scripture quoting game. It's awesome. I've already started
a page in my journal about it. She doesn't
really want to play, but I will help her to want to. :)
I just got to do something really cool. Today our district leader
called and asked if we wanted to come and help work on the temple. The
temples get new carpets every 5-10 years and it is time for the Memphis
temple to get new carpets. We helped move
furniture and rip out carpets and vaccuum the floor after they ripped
the carpet out. It was way fun. We were talking with some of the
workers. Their job is to go to temples all around the world and lay
carpets. How cool is that? They get their trips
paid for and they travel to really cool places. They just got back
from Australia. Next year they are going to Paraguay and Tahiti and
other cool places. I was grateful to have such a great opportunity to
help with working in the temple-I don't know if
a lot of missionaries get to do that. We were just in the right place
at the right time. It was really fun. I was also grateful to be able
to be in the house of the Lord and know that love and peace and joy can
be found there. It can be found for all who
live the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is a lot of crap in the world,
but when we cast off our sins, we can experience the peace of the Savior
and not be afraid even in this world of wickedness.
I have recently gotten a complaint about my long letters....:) haha
just kidding. It wasn't really a complaint. But I actually have to
make this one short because the computer kicks me off soon. I love you
all. Seeing some people in some pretty crappy
family situations lately has caused me to cherish my wonderful
family even more. God doesn't even need to bless me with anything else
my whole life cause He already gave me the biggest blessing I
can imagine. Thank you for supporting me and praying for me.
I can feel your prayers.
love always,
sister annalisa wilde
