Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!!!
So, this week was like absolutely crazy! Satan is attacking
the people we're teaching like CRAZY!!!! And it drives me crazy! 'It's
like...leave us alone! Ghehehe, funny story though....
We had an appointment
with a less-active sister and she had a friend over. I'm pretty sure her friend
was tipsy (to say the least), because she was going through some really hard
times. You could just feel the tension in the room. We say an opening
prayer and we're trying to read Mosiah 3 with them. The friend wanted to
read it, because she wanted to talk so it would make her feel better. ok... She starts reading and then the two of them started talking about something and
within a second they starting fighting and arguing with each other! O.o so
we're like...what the ginger ale... O.O so sister Anderson tries to bring it
back to reading Mosiah 3, and after reading like 8 verses, the LA is like: ok,
I can't handle more for today. so she closed the book. (and in the meantime
they had already argued again). So we're trying to leave with the Spirit, so we
wanted to say a prayer, and her friend started praying like this: Dear Heavenly
Father....(silence)....I'm not sure how to put this into words....(and she has
like this whiny voice...) and then our LA started yelling at her and said: If
you don't know what you're saying, stop praying!!! Sister Anderson, you pray!
Then sister Anderson had to pray. It was soooo awkward, weird,
uncomfortable, and at the same time it was pretty funny...
Then we also had a really cool moment this week! We dropped
off a meet the mormons dvd for a nonmember and as we're walking back to our car
this guy walks by and we started talking to him. So we kind of did our thing
and at first he wasn't very interested in talking to us. But as we talked more,
he started asking questions. Like who God is? The purpose of life? We
started talking about the plan of salvation and at the end he said he had to
go, but that he'd love to meet with us another time to talk more! It was
AWESOME!!! We gave him a copy of the Book of Mormon :D
We also had lunch with Sister Hoole last week and that was
AMAZING! It was so great to meet her! :D
Oh, we had our fireside with
Kenneth Cope yesterday! We were just thinking of ways to get non-members to
come to something and to get members more excited about missionary work. So I
asked Kenneth Cope if he could come do a fireside in our stake! We had
it yesterday and the whole chapel was filled! :D It was soooo great! Even some
non-members came! :D Woohoo!
He talked a lot about our potential and divinity as children
of our Heavenly Father. It was so beautiful and I felt so uplifted! So I want
to testify to you that I know that we have a Father and Brother who love us and
who KNOW us perfectly! When life gets dark and dreary, don't forget to pray.
The Lord wants to use us as an instrument in His hands right NOW, broken, torn,
scattered.
I am so grateful for the Atonement and for Christ's
grace!
Lots and Lots of Love
Sister Spijkerman <3
