Another week had gone by already! Crazy!! Well this week at church we had 6 investigators! That's a miracle!! It was amazing! Also one of our investigators came and she is a 7th Day Adventist, and we learned about the Plan Of Salvation, like where we came from in Sunday School. We were worried that it was to much for them. But she said she had a dream the night before we came and met her the first time about the pre-mortal life!! She has never heard about it so she was very interested. She said it makes sense! How cool is that? For companion study we read a talk that Sister Anderson gave us on how the spirit works, and one of the ways it said was through your dreams! It was amazing. For sure a miracle in it's self. Also on Saturday we went to the 7th Day Adventist church! Haha weird... it for sure makes my testimony stronger when I go to other churches, or bible studies!
Also Eileens daughter Josie has never liked the Elders and when Eileen was going to get baptized she got all mad and that's why Eileen never got baptized. But she loves the sisters! This week we went over and cooked them dinner because they were sick, then we actually went to the mall with Josie to pick something up! She likes me better than sister cotton so I just asked her some hard questions about our church and Eileen and all. I was like if you come to our church we'll go to yours, she was like i'll think about it!! THATS AWESOME!! Ahh the inside of my cheeks are torn up from being so nervous asking her questions, but the spirit for sure was there helping me! haha
We have had many great opportunities to help ward members with their missionary efforts! It's so exciting that they're catching the missionary bug! I love it!! I can't believe I have been out for almost 3 months, I have learned so much and I continue to learn and grow everyday. I love being a missionary!!
Love,
Sister Gates
P.S. Also we went and saw this guy names Apostle, thats not his real name, but thats what he changed it too! So the old mission president and him were really good friends. But he is his own religion, and i guess he can like read people! So my whole district went over and he read me! All i said was hi to him and he was like well you're one of service, even if people don't want your help, you're willing to put forth hard work! I was like what does that mean? My district was like, it's like being a mom!! I was like thats all i want to be!! And they're like well your new name is Mama Gates!! Haha so i have a new nickname! Kind of funny but it was crazy he read everyone and it was all right!!! Pretty cool:)
This is today, we went to Joann's to get some things and we walk out and see a camo truck! Welcome to the south;) haha it's the Real Tree brand too! haha
We went to the mall with Josie, and we came back and Lilly her daughter had made us gift bags! Haha she is the sweetest:)
A little something I do when I have a few seconds before bed!! It's relaxing too:)
