I learned that as long as the people you teach know you love them, you don't have to worry about offending them. And if we don't teach them simply, clearly, and unapologetically, then we deny them access to the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Hola,

Another transfer call come and gone. And I am staying in the 'R. Sister K., however, was not so lucky... But she isn't going too far, just a hop and a skip down to M. V., I'll still get to go on exchanges with her! I've had such a great 3 months with her, I've learned a lot, had lots of fun, and preached plenty. And now I get a new chapter with Sister F.! I don't know her much, but life is such.  And our names rhyme, so it should work out fine. 

Speaking of M., we spent all day Wednesday down there helping Sister Sorensen and Anderson out. Poor Sister Anderson has been out with a knee injury, so we went down to have one of us stay with her, and the other one go out with Sister Sorensen and get some work done. The Lord has definitely blessed us for being willing to give up time in our own area, because we saw so many miracles here this week! We taught a lot, and found some elect new investigators. One of whom was Ros__. She is a sweet sweet H. lady who requested a Bible on mormon.org. When we came to deliver the Bible, we offered to say a prayer with her. She immediately gathered her family together to pray with us . She said that people who pray are servants of the Lord, and she wanted her family to hear our message. It was such a sweet experience. 

We also had the amazing opportunity on Friday to travel up to C., for a missionary leadership council with Elder Anthon Perkins of the Quorum of the Seventy. We talked a lot about teaching repentance, boldly with love. I learned that as long as the people you teach know you love them, you don't have to worry about offending them. And if we don't teach them simply, clearly, and unapologetically, then we deny them access to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. And that is the opposite of my goal, so I am going to be even more bold and loving in my teaching. We tested it out, later, with our investigator Brother M., who was once progressing, but has gotten busy, and stopped progressing. We lovingly told him that he needed to make the Lord a higher priority in his life, and continue to learn about the gospel more frequently. And he took it like a champ!! He was so humble and repentant, about it. And now he's progressing towards baptism again!

I love ya'll!

Have a great week!

Sister Ward
