This week has been amazing!! I am absolutely loving my new companion Sister Flinders!! She is so determined to work hard and find the elect!! It is great!! So, we were going to be in a trio but due to issues with a new missionaries visa, our third companion went with another Sister. We don't really know what will happen when the other Sister comes. We will just have to wait and see.
This week we have had an
amazing time finding new investigators. We have spent several hours
tracting and searching for those that the Lord has prepared. Agnes (our
super great investigator) is doing amazing!! We taught her the Plan of
Salvation and she loved it! She loves the idea of eternal families!
Agnes is also very excited for her baptism. She has some back problems
and was concerned about the baptism, but we told her that it would all
work out and she started crying and said that she knew it would work out
because Heavenly Father loves all of His children!! Like I said, she is
amazing!! We are also working with the Thorpe family. We are still kind
of trying to discern their interest level, but they love having us over
and have really enjoyed what we have talked about so far! Tonight we are going to be inviting them to be baptized! I can't wait!
This
week, I have learned quite a bit! Something that has stood out to me
the most though is submitting our will to the Father's. Our Bishop gave a
talk yesterday on Elder Maxwell's talk "Swallowed up in the Will of the
Father". This week, Sister Flinders and I made it a priority to do
EVERYTHING that Heavenly Father wants us to do. Obviously, we are not
perfect and we didn't do everything, but we strived to. This week, I
have completely lost myself in the work and it has been great. I find
myself being more positive and finding more joy in the work. It truly
has been the most refreshing week! It reminded me of what I felt in
Jacksonville. I know that as we submit our will to the Father's and we
honestly strive to do what Heavenly Father has asked of us, we will find
greater joy in the journey!
I hope you all have a great week!!! I will keep all of you in my prayers! I love all y'all!!
Love,
Sister Paynter
