This week was transfers and Sister Cragun is still my trainer in the good old area of Milford.
Tuesday we met with the Trexler family. They are of the do good things religion. We talked about the Restoration and the Book of Mormom. Sister Trexler was interested in reading it and "putting it to the test". She said she had always wanted to read it so it was perfect! They are not one of those families that you find and baptize in a transfer but who knows. Miracles happen everyday.
Wednesday we had the Worldwide Missionary Broadcast and we got a new Schedule! It is s awesome! We have so much more flexibility and I have noticed how much more successful we have been because of it and it has only been a few days!
Thursday we still hadn't heard from Shayne even though we had called and texted her several times so we decided to make her some cookies and drop by her house to see if she would talk to us. She was home and she let us in. She explained to us that she is really scared of the Rapture (not sure what it is but we think it's when the devil comes or something and terrible things happen) and being led away by the devil. She had read some things on the interweb (we all know how dangerous that is) specifically about plural marriage and she got scared. We discussed it and shared some scriptures with her and that helped. It just showed us how important the spirit is. She recognized that when ever came over she felt good and then when she left and the spirit left she became confused. We planned to have a lesson on Friday and Friday morning we got a text from a member, JoAnna (she hates when we call her Sister Duemmel) JoAnna owns her own antique store but she decided to g to the thrift store for something instead of opening her store on time. Shayne volunteers at that store a couple times a week and so she decided to go Friday morning. We had told JoAnna about Shayne and Shayne about JoAnna so they officially met there. We got a text from JoAnna saying she met her and they were going back to her store to talk. JoAnna shared her conversion story and Shayne told us later that this sounds like the path she needs to be on!!! What?! Can someone be anymore ready to be baptized?! We are so excited.
That's pretty much the exciting parts of my week. We just keep knocking doors and serving others. I love this work. It's people like Shayne that makes me want to do this forever. Just seeing the spirit testify to her and feel the spirit guiding us while we teach is amazing. Seeing her faith grow in every aspect, I know I am not doing anything except I am a tool.
Lots of Love!
Sister Van Buskirk
It started snowing while we were emailing.
We burned the first batch of cookies. Don't worry we made Shayne new ones.
