Wow, time flies!
I cannot believe it is August! But what a weeeek!! We definitely saw the Lords hand in the work this week! On Tuesday, we had texted a girl a few times that we were so excited to meet with to confirm our appointment. She never responded. But we showed up at 4pm anyway and her and her twin sister were there and ready for a lesson! They have so much faith and we were so stoked that not all of our plans had fallen through that day haha!
I was roasted so hard by an old man this week. This cute old guy named Billy takes us to lunch about every week. He is amazing, he takes different missionaries to lunch everyday!!!! My comp and I were eating some strawberries at lunch then Billy gave us his strawberries too and says "Do you know why God put strawberries on the earth? To see if you're stupid enough to eat them" hahaha He hates strawberries, it was too funny!
We went on splits with Hermana Kimball again and had a killer day! She is so cool!!
Best news of the week.... CHRIS WAS BAPTIZED!!!!!!!! The baptism was absolutely amazing!! Every word shared at the baptism was perfect. The spirit was so strong. It was also so cool to see a bunch of missionaries come and bring the people they are teaching! Chris was just beaming with happiness!! He shared a very powerful testimony with everyone that made the whole meeting. Such a special day for him! It is a day I will never forget that's for sure! This weekend was amazing to see him commit to follow Christ and become the newest member of his church. It really has been such a journey for him but it is so cool to see how he has been blessed!
Transfers are tomorrow and Sister Blazzard and I are staying here!!! I am soooo stoked about it :)))
I am so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ and the example he has set for us! I feel so blessed to be a part of His work and for the gift of baptism and the Holy Ghost. We are so blessed to have a father in Heaven who loves all of us so very much. Don't forget it. LOVE YOU ALL!!!! READ Isaiah 41:10 !!!!!
Much love,
Sister Liljenquist
