Tuesday I had exchanges with my sister training leaders and this time I stayed in my area and was companions with Sister Howard for the day! She is from Washington and is the youngest of 7 children! She has been out on her mission for over a year. We worked hard together and had a miracle that night. A family we are teaching whose dad is a member but his 3 children are not, decided they want to be baptized!!! We will continue meeting with them and teaching them the rest of the missionary lessons but their baptismal date is currently October 19. Yay!
Wednesday we went to the temple and I had the opportunity to perform ordinances for one of my ancestors! The temple is such a special place and I know it is the house of the Lord.
Saturday someone in Sister Mayer's previous area got baptized! She helped teach him some of the lessons so we went and supported him and it was a special day. When someone chooses to follow Christ and make promises with God to follow Him, I feel happy inside because I know they are doing something that will bless their lives and their family.
This weekend was stake conference which means that multiple wards (congregations) gather together for church. It was a great meeting and I received inspiration from the spirit on some things I want to change. The Holy Ghost is amazing.
I know this gospel is true and can calm our souls when we are feeling overwhelmed. I know the Book of Mormon brings peace and happiness and guidance and that it is the word of God. I encourage all to check it out :)
Love,
Sister Chilson
