We had an amazing lesson with Tesan this week. You guys... she is amazing!! We got to sit in her beautifully landscaped back yard. She volunteered to say the opening prayer and mentioned that she is hungry for the teachings of Christ and wants to know what she needs to do to feel his love more!! She told us how she has never felt him so close and so real in her entire life. We taught her the restoration and the spirit was so strong when teaching about the First Vision. It is the most amazing and life changing event in the history of the world, after the Atonement of Jesus Christ, of course. The world was ready for this restoration for God to save all his children.
We were able to meet her son and his family yesterday when we dropped by for Mother's Day. It was awesome!!
We saw Madilyn yesterday after church. She has been off the maps lately with health issues and house stuff that we haven't been able to catch her. But yesterday she told us that she needed to continue reading her Book of Mormon so when we come back we can explain it for her and she said she wants to see what a baptism would be like. She is so funny! I always leave so happy. I just think back to the day when we first met her and she was so quiet and grouchy but she has softened up SO much and is so talkative now! It is just amazing what even just a little bit of the gospel can do in someones life. She even thinks she is a happier person!
I am grateful for the work that I get to do each and every day even if all I do is plant a seed of kindness in someone's heart. A wise sister once told me that even though the world doesn't recognize all the hard work and every effort we put into accomplishing something. God acknowledges and accepts every ounce of effort we put into everything. He is appreciative of all that we do. He has a plan for every single one of his children and this work is on His time clock. Even outside of missionary work everything that happens to us is for a reason. When we invite him to help us and if we continue to stay close to him and make righteous decisions he will take care of it all.
Grateful to be able to talk to my beautiful family yesterday, they strengthen me and keep me going!! Grateful for the gospel that brings us together for eternity.
Have a wonderful week!!
Love always,
Sister Holt
