Week 4 and 1/2 in the field

This week has been full of such highs and lows. We met with a girl named Stephanie (she told us during the meeting that she was one of the finalist for American Idol.) She and her cousin Sierra, who is fourteen, felt the spirit very strongly and agreed to Feb 11, but two days later we came for our second appointment and we were dropped. 

I know that I can work on being more Christ like in love and patience because after we got that call I just put my chair down and looked up into the sky. I felt so lost. I'd been sick for a few days and I had been working so hard on just getting the strength to keep smiling and then we were let go again. We are to invite other to come unto Christ. We do not have to force them, but it is hard when they have eternal life before them and they choose to turn away.

I received a blessing of healing and I was told that I would be an effective missionary and that there were soul here in this time that needed me, but most important, it said twice that I would be heal and the we are given trails to help us to be humbled and the Lord knows the shaping that needs to take place.

I'm still sick, but I know that I must continue the work and become more humble because it is only when we are humbled that we can become true instruments in the hands of the Lord.

Blessings this week, we went to a Baptism of two of Beverly's children down in a different area. Beverly is a recent convert who Sister Delaplane taught before I came. She reminds me of Shelia, so sweet and happy. I said the opening prayer and Sister Delaplane gave a talk on Baptism.

I am almost half way through the 12 week training program. Strange to think I have been out here for so long.

Bless you all I pray for you.
