HELLO MY LOVELY GENTE-
Remember how Hermana Burt and I did a fast to find more
young people?? Well, let's just
start this email out by talking about those miracles.
Alberto-so this random less active texted us and said
something like this, "hermanas, I don't know what to say or do. I feel so lost. I miss my Heavenly Father and I want to
come back. Can you help me?" Claro
que si Alberto!!!! We met with him
and had a really sweet, really spiritual lesson talking about the atonement of
Jesus Christ. The spirit was
really strong and he really opened up. He came to the ward family home evening the next night and had
a super great time, so we're hoping to help him get back on track :))
Carlos- so, this guy is from Peru!! I think a while ago I mentioned that we
contacted some Peruvians. Well,
this week we met with him and he is WONDERFUL. It was a total miracle and he wants to know if it's true and
start reading the Book of Mormon.
Tamara-we had met with this girl previously and she was
great until she got busy and we lost contact with her, BUT she ran to the
elders on the street and told them she's been waiting for us to come by (!!!)
so we went by and had a SUPER great lesson with her and her family. In fact, her dad had read 27 pages in
the Book of Mormon. They're going
through some crazy things as a family so we made some promises that if they read
the Book of Mormon as a family, it would all work out.
Isabel- I actually didn't meet her because it was on an
intercambio. BUT she's a super
cool girl that accepted a Book of Mormon and asked us to come back and learn
more :))
Hermana Burt and I have been having so much fun contacting
these younger people. I am just so so extremely grateful to have grown up as a
member of the church. I can't
image how different my life would have been, growing up without the knowledge
that Christ is my Savior and that God always loves me, no matter what happens. There's a lot of lost and confused
people in the world, but the gospel of Jesus Christ really brings a new light
into life and I love being a member of his church.
I finished the Book of Mormon this week for the 3rd time on
my mission. If anyone is
wondering, it's still true :)) I love how I can read it so many times and ask
if it's true every time. I always
get the same peaceful feeling in my heart that tells me it really is the word
of God. Read it, and ask, and
you'll feel it, too.
I love you all SO much,
Hermana Spangler
