Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Hahah I hope everyone is enjoying the Monday holiday and has had a good week this last week. The work here in Lumberton is continuing to grow! This week we have found several new investigators as well as set new baptismal dates.
Last
week, we had a wonderful Zone Training. The theme of our meeting and
for our zone is "bring 'em home". All of the instruction we received was
definitely things that I needed to hear. We talked about being
consecrated and working to improve ourselves in the work. I was able to
receive lots of inspiration and it gave me the motivation that I needed
this week. We've really been working hard to get people to sacrament and
it has been quite the struggle. Our investigator Danny did come to
church again this week which was great!! Our investigators Tracy and
Tony were supposed to be there...they even called us an hour before
church...we are still trying to figure out what happened. Things are
really great though!! I have felt that this week we have really made a
difference in how people view our lessons with them. We have been
setting really good expectations with the people we meet so that they
understand that we mean business haha!
Every
week, I learn lots of new things and this week, something that really
stood out to me in my studies was remembering Jesus Christ always. In
life, it is so easy to forget about Jesus Christ when we are busy with
work and school and other things. Even on my mission, I sometimes forget
to think about Jesus Christ in all that I do. This next week, I have
made it a goal to remember Jesus Christ more. I know that as I work hard
to remember Him in the things that I do, I will be able to feel the
Spirit more and receive more guidance. The most important part to
remembering Him Always is to go to church every Sunday
and partake of the sacrament. Partaking of the sacrament every week is
so very important, because each time we take the sacrament, we take a
step closer to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. During the
sacrament, we get to renew our covenants with Heavenly Father and commit
to do better this week. On my mission, I have really learned how
important it really is to take the sacrament every week. Coming closer
to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ should be our number one goal in
life. As we remember Jesus Christ always, it will be easier to make the
right decisions in life and come closer to Him.
I love you all so much!! Thank you for everything and have a wonderful week!!
Love,
Sister Paynter
