It is crazy how fast the time flies. I cannot believe it is almost October! I keep thinking it is only June, but I am always a little slower than most....
I love Oregon. I am still here in Central Point and loving every second of it. We are doing a lot of finding activities because we need more people to teach. It is quite an amazing opportunity to get into members houses and build the trust with them and they are allowing us to meet their friends and families to teach. Just as President Hinckley said that is the best way to do Missionary work.
This last week we had a day where we tracted for a little over 3 hours with no one letting us talk. I was sad when the Jehovah's Witness wouldn't compare scriptures with us because they always compare scriptures with us and I was so tired of being yelled at and being told I was going to Hell. So at the end of the night as were walking in We got a phone call from the Elders. They had a Referral from us of an amazing woman That they met. We went to meet her 2 days later and we asked her how she felt about baptism, her response was "I am trying to get into your church!!" Needless to say she is gaining a testimony of the book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. We are teaching her at the Stake Presidents house and Having Him and His wife fellowship her is a huge blessing. In the process we hope to activate her Less active Boyfriend. We are really excited for Kelly, She says she has been searching for many churches and feels this one is calling for her. After praying much about it she wants to learn more. And After praying for someone to teach our prayers were answered Also!!
I love how the spirit works miracle. We see them everyday and are blessed to see them bless other people. I know this church is true. I know that every good thing in my life has come from the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I am thankful for that knowledge.
We were able to attend Womens conference this last weekend and Listening to Elder Utchdorfs talk was a special experience. He spoke of being happy right now for what we have, enjoying the basic things in life and not waiting for the big things we want out of life. It made me think how many times I have passed on simple joys wanting so badly more in my life. I have most definitely given up more than I should have.
I love you all! I hope you have a fantastic week. Sorry No pictures this week, We have been running all week, But I will take some this week I swear!
Peace and Blessings
Love Sister Rose
