Another
week has come and gone. This week went by so fast. Two of our
investigators have baptismal dates now so I am very excited about that.
Haley is on May 4th and Mary is on April 20th. Sister Davis and I are so
happy for them. It is amazing to see how much the lord has prepared
them for this step in their lives. They are elect I know that and they
are going to be strong members of this little branch.
We had a relief society birthday party Thursday evening. It was SOO
fun. I never thought I could have so much fun in Relief Society but
these women are becoming my best friends and my second family. Sister
Wachob the 1st counselor said to tell mom and dad thanks for making me!
haha It was a great time. I was smiling and laughing so hard and I just
feel like I am at home here. Missionary work is becoming who I am now
and it is amazing to see the change. Heavenly Father has Elect children
in Bedford and I feel so blessed that he sent me here to find them for
him.
The best day by far was Saturday. We woke up at three A.m and drove
to Charleston for a mission conference. There we got to hear Elder
Dallin H. Oaks speak to us. Not only that but I got to shake his hand!!
He looked me right in the eye and said "Nice to meet you SISTER
ROBINSON!" then I got to sit in the third row from the front right in
the middle. I would say that is pretty awesome. After we heard him speak
we got to stay and talk awhile with the other missionary. I saw my
other district from the MTC they were all glad to see that I am still
alive and we got to take a picture since we didn't get to when they left
me. It was awesome to here how good everyone is doing!
That was pretty much my week. Nothing crazy happened or out of the
ordinary. Besides that there is a possum that keeps getting in our trash
can at night and dragging it all across the lawn. GRR!
Heavenly Father really does answer humble prayers. That is what I
learned this week from Elder Oaks. When we are willing to act on the
prompting that we receive then he will be willing to give us promptings.
The holy ghost will ALWAYS guide us in correct, safe paths. Just let it
go... everything that is holding us back from being 100% obedient to
Heavenly Fathers commandments. Any selfish desire and pride in our
hearts just LET IT GO! and be willing to submit to the lords time table.
His will and His way. When we go forward with faith knowing that
everything will work out in the end everything WILL work out in the end.
This is not my mission it is Heavenly Fathers mission and I feel so
blessed that he is allowing me to be an instrument in his hand to bring
salvation to his children. He is hastening his work I have seen that so
much since I have been here. People are more prepared than ever to hear
this message! I love you all. I hope that you will have a great week :)
love,
Sister Robinson
