Hello Everyone!!!!!
How has your week been? I hope it has been just
fantastic!!!! This week has been chalk full of miracles. I really do feel
blessed to be a missionary on Temple Square where everyday you see so many
miracles!!!
So, miracle number one: I met a man named Mark December
2011. We taught him one lesson and sent him the missionaries and then could
never get in touch with him again. I would try and call periodically and would
never get him. Then right before I went to Texas I felt very strongly that I
should call and then he called back but I could not understand his message and
so I would call back he would leave a message I couldn't hear/understand and it
went on like this until I left. So, the other night I was going through the
people I need to call and I saw his name and I immediately called him and
....... he answered!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I explained who I was and asked if he
remembered and he said "of course!" then he said "Elizabeth I
feel that I should give you my new address" (because he had obviously moved) and then I asked if he wanted to meet with
missionaries and he said yes! Then he told me that he thought it strange that I
was calling him because he was thinking of me and my old companion just the
night before. We talked a little longer and I set a return apt with him and he
also told me that since we haven't been talking that he has been doing research
and he feels that this is the true church of Jesus Christ and that the Book of
Mormon is the word of God!!!! I could not believe it! After all this time! And
how I always felt that I should not get rid of his information! Okay really
quickly miracle number two: A lady called to get a free Bible and so we were
talking and I found out she is from Texas and then we really got to talking.
Well, then i asked her if there was anyone in her life
that needed a good message of Christ and she told me of her friend Curtis (oh
and don't worry she accepted to meet with missionaries as well and we will be
calling her and teaching her :)) and told me to call him and so I did and we
talked for a little while and I taught him about the Book of Mormon and he said
that he wants to learn more about the church!!!!! That is right! Can you
believe that?! God is real and so many miracles come when you and your
companion are obedient and work hard! I love being a missionary with all my
heart and I love sharing the gospel! Just like Mosiah 2:41 says " And
moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state
of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all
things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end
they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of neverending happiness. O remember,
remember that these things are true, for the Lord God hath spoken it." I
hope you all have a great week and keep smiling because life it too short not
to!
Love Always,
Sister Armstrong
