HELLO!
Well another week has passed and the first snow
fall has happened! Wasn't too excited about the snow, but that does mean that
winter is coming soon and that means Christmas! I am so excited for the month
of December to have the lights on every day and to be in the Christmas spirit!
Temple Square I decided is just super awesome! Especially during Winter.
There is a play called Savior of the World and the staff has blessed us
with tickets to give to people we meet that we feel like would benefit from the
message or to our investigators that we have, but they want us to be able to
talk about the play and know what it is about so we get to see it this
week!!
I don't know if any of you remember but President
challenged us to start the Book of Mormon and to finish it before December.
We started September 1st and I got so into it and I enjoyed it
so much that I finished it this week! The Book of Mormon is the best and
reading it more like a story and not as scriptures really helped me and I
learned so much.
This entire week we have had mission meetings every
morning at 7:30! It has been a struggle some days getting here on
time but it is exciting as we are preparing for the Musical Fireside on
Tuesday. I wish you could be there it is going to be really cool!
We start the program with Called to Serve with the famous 3 verse that we
have and we are all holding our country flags and it looks really cool!
It has been a lot of work but I cannot wait to see the finished product!
One quick story of a good experience this week!
So my companion was on exchanges with the District Leader and so I was
with her companion and we came across this guy and his wife, his 2 little kids,
and his parents. They asked us to do the pin drop in the Tabernacle and
so we did and then we ended up talking with them and they wanted to go
EVERYWHERE. They were so energetic and such a fun family to be with.
We were at the Conference Center and the dad comes up to me and says well
did my wife tell you our story? I was like nope and he says well we just
got baptized 2 weeks ago! Even though we had no influence on them joining the
church it just made me think of the investigators that I have had the chance to
teach that have accepted baptism. The joy that they have and the joy that
this family had just made me smile the rest of the day. It made me think
on how lucky we are to be members of this church. This church is so
hopeful and so full of joy and it is such a blessing to have it in our lives.
I think so many times we take it for granted to be raised in the church
but it truly has made me think lately how grateful I am to have the gospel.
Thank you so much for all your words of
encouragement and support. I love all of you and am so grateful for the
opportunity I have to be a missionary right now. Have a wonderful week
and mom...have so much fun with your little grand baby!!!
The church is true.
Love,
Sister Marsh
