Not really sure if anyone caught this, but the prophet totally talked about Juneau, Alaska in his talk!!!! I guess I was one of only 6 missionaries in the world serving in the place where the prophet talked about. I'd say that this is promised land!!!
Let me just tell you about the miracles that happened this week.
1. We have a new bishop that was a missionary here in Juneau 15 years ago. He is super focused on missionary work. On Friday night we had dinner with his family and a family that he has been sharing the gospel with!!! The mom and one of the daughters went to womens meeting last week and loved it. The dad went to priestood session on Saturday with bishop and said he was so inspried. We are talked to them about the chruch. It was so wonderful. Last week they said to bishop that they were going to be baptized, but they just wanted to learn a little more. My companion and I are starting to teach them!!!! It's the mom, A, the dad, V, daughters M who is 15 and M who is 17. They are coming to mutual on Wednesday. We get to baptize a family! We are so excited! Member misisonary work works!!!!!!
2. This week was transfer week and our mission president brought in all of the misisonaries from the south east. There were 18 missionaries here in Juneau. My companion and I had to organize work for 8 different missionaries. You know I love planning, so it was so much fun doing that. One night we went on a zone tract. An amazing thing happened from that. We got 12 referals!!!!! 12 people to start teaching. It was amazing! IT was fun to have all of the missionaries up for a few days!
3. This morning we had a call from our bishopric member. He said he was out visiting families last night and was talking to the family about sharing the gospel. They said they have been bringing a 12 year girl to church for a couple months and she is ready to start taking the lessons! Miracle right there!
4. We are teaching a dad and a 12 year old girl. The mom joined the church when she was a teenager, but wants her family to start going to church. We have them on a potential baptism date for April 26.
5. Last week the elders gave us a referal for a lady that wants her two girls baptized. We are meeting with her this week!
It is amazing to see the Lord's hand in his work. It just strengthens my testimony so much.
I absolutely loved conference!!!!!! My favorite talk was probably Elder Bednar's where he talked about sharing our load with the Lord. You all should read it again. I loved it! I learned a ton about the spirit world this conference. I guess I just never realized that when Christ went through the Atonement we literally made it prossible for all people in the spirit prison to be able to accept the gospel. I learn more and more about the Atonement each and everyday. I love it!!!!!! I hope you all learned something fabulous at conference!!!!
Love to all!
