This Wednesday I had an opportunity
to go on exchanges with Sister Allen! She's a sweetie. We were able to
have a member present on the exchange with Sister Kydd. We had a great
lesson about Priesthood. After the lesson, Sister Kyyd said something profound.
She said something like, "I don't want to be offensive, but instead of
saying "our church", you should say "the Lord's
church". When you say "our church" you lower it to the
world's level. Anyone can have a church, but the Lord's church is
something different entirely." She said that lots of people say
"our church" and she's trying to change the world, so I guess I'm
going to help. What she said is so true. The church is more
important and significant than saying "our church" gives it credit
for.
Once Sister Kydd left, Sister Allen
and I decided to just stop by and see Ron and Shannon because they lived close
by and they were home! Without practicing beforehand, we were able to teach law
of Chastity and the Word of Wisdom which they understand, agree with, and accept.
Miracle!
None of our investigators came to
church this week. They all wanted to try the bus, and we want to let them
be independent, but it didn't work out. Any suggestions on how we can
help them get to church?
But speaking of church, I gave another
talk this week. That's the thing about serving in two wards: twice as
many opportunities, twice as many responsibilities. This one was on
music, which I like a whole lot better than speaking on Jonah. I took
elements of music theory and used them as analogies for life. Pretty
good.
Even better, Jair, from the Lewvan
ward, and Kamille from Winnipeg YSA (Sister Wu and I started teaching her last
year) got baptized and confirmed this weekend: MIRACLES!!!! :) :) :)
Life is good in the CWM!
Love you tons! Sister Heidi Hill
