We had a great week! it was full of crazy things and miracles!
This transfer we set a goal to hand out 50 copies of the Book of Mormon and so far our daily average is 1 or 2! It's one of my favorite things to give people a copy of the Book of Mormon because they just light up that they are getting this book for free. It makes their day and they are always so much happier afterwards. We have a few copies of the Book of Mormon with chocolate tied to them and those are my favorite to give away because then they for sure want it because it has chocolate! I have faith that out of all the copies we give away many good things will happen, maybe not now but eventually!
On Tuesday we had a lesson with one of our members and we went on a walk with her in the woods and it was so fun. The spirit is always so strong when talking about God and being in His creation. I'm always reminded of the scripture in Alma 30:44 "he scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator."
On Wednesday we had lessons with both of our investigators. Inara was at work so we did a video call and were able to talk to her. And we committed her for a baptismal date for May 18! She has been investigating for a while and we know and she knows she needs this and just how much it will help her. But a few days later she texted us saying she's good with her religion which was super devastating but one day! Then we had a lesson with Anita and she also wants to be baptized May 18! And she's doing awesome! She is so fun to be with and understands and accepts everything so well. She is so prepared!!
Thursday I saw all my friends from the MTC! It was so good to see them! They are the best and also makes my whole week better to see them. I even got to spend half a day with Sister Goodell!
Friday we had a lesson with a potential we found this past week and it was so fun! She's not interested so we had an English class with her. There's a city here in Latvija called Bauska. No missionaries are there but it's somewhere I have always wanted to go there but she's from there and said one P-day she will take us there. I'm so excited! She's the best. We also had a lesson with one of our less actives and she took us to one of the restaurants here called Hesburger and everyone tells missionaries not to go there so we were terrified for what the food would do to us but then she came to the table with literally the best ice cream I have ever tasted. It was so good.
Saturday we were able to serve at the soup kitchen and it was so fun. We also were able to have a lesson with Dace. I love her. She's honestly the best. Each week she comes to us with more things she's learned.
Sunday we had the best surprise. Liga hasn't been able to come to church because of work. She talked to her boss about it but would still have to work all the Sundays in April. So we just assumed she wouldn't be at church but then she walked in! She was able to get work off. It was such a blessing! it was such a miracle! We also went and visited Zina our member and she was so excited! She is the cutest. We watch the Because of Him video with her and she said she can smile because of Him and it was the cutest thing ever.
This week was another testimony builder that this is God's work. We found a new apartment this week and are moving in today, but it has made for a busy and tiring week. All of the hours before and after 9 have been packing and cleaning our apartment that has had missionaries for 10 years. Even though it has been super busy God has blessed us with so many miracles. I love being a missionary. This has been the greatest thing I have ever done. I'm so grateful for it!! j
Have a great week!
Love,
