Sister Adrianna Wilson: Week 16: Much Fruit in the Vineyard

Hola!

It's been a great week here in Cardston. Exciting news - we have an investigator with a date! Her name is Vanessa and she's been taught for forever, but she finally got permission from her grandma this week to get baptized... SO IT WILL BE MY FIRST BAPTISM!

Thursday: We had Missionary Leadership Council (MLC) in Calgary all day. I got to see Sister Nield and her new companion and it was so great! Brother Littlefield came to our mission and spoke, which was awesome

Friday: Every Friday we go to a old folk's home and read the Book of Mormon with Sister Hansen. It is my favorite! She is the sweetest thing ever. We conducted our weekly planning and that evening, we had a Cottage Meeting in Lethbridge. It was SOOO good! There were a a lot of people and food. President and Sister Keung came. They spoke and you just had to be there. It was SO spiritual.

Saturday: Don't really remember but we stopped by a bunch of less-active member's houses in the Young Single Adult Ward and then just did regular missionary work. I don't really remember the rest. It was a good day though!

Sunday: Church was awesome.Total we had four people to church. We had a lesson with Luna and she really wants to be baptized, but we are just waiting for he dad to come home. He'll be home soon so we can put her on date. He travels a lot for work, but we'll have a date soone and we're just working on getting her prepared and through all the lessons.

Monday: We do service early Monday mornings and go and play pickle ball with a group of old people, which is awesome. They get so into it though, and honestly I'm kinda terrible at it. All the old people don't want to be my partner because they get so competitive. Ha ha. I was partnered with this old man and I was making us lose and he was so heated. I'm pretty sure he was giving me the silent treatment most of the rounds. Fingers crossed that I get better so I don't keep making the elderly mad.

Later that day we met with a lady named Jennifer who was at the Cottage Meeting on Friday and she really enjoyed it. She's a former investigator but dropped the missionaries when her daughter passed away last June. She has been through some really tough things in life and she is such a trooper. She lives right outside of the Reserve - kind of in the middle of no where. So we went over and sat on her porch and got to know her. Sshe opened up about how she's doing and recovering since her daughter's death. I shared a scripture with he and bore my testimony that Jesus Christ is the source of all healing and shared that He's inviting her to come unto Him so she can find peace in her life. Then I told her that me and my companions offer a message of joy and we would love to come back when she was available to continue teaching her more. She said she really wants that and so we got one new investigator. I can't wait to show her more love.

Really though, it was probably one of my favorite experiences on my mission so far. My testimony was from the heart, and I know that Jesus Christ wants to heal all of His children. There may have been a tear. 😁

Tuesday: Zone Conference was amazing and I learned lot. We talked about setting daily, weekly, and monthly goals. President pulled up my companionship's area book on the Power Point and said we are the only one who were recording our goals and achieving them . So, that was a #braggingmoment.

No, it was all really good though and goals are SO IMPORTANT! Everyday we set our goals for the day and pray as a companionship and ask for help to achieve those goals. Then after that, we had another great Cottage Meeting! President showed 'The Should of Music", a Mormon Message. Go watch it if you haven't seen it.

I have to go now, but have a great week! Thanks for everything you guys do for me I really appreciate it.

Love,

Sister Wilson
