Week 18 Cold Week

WE GOT SNOW!!!:)

How is everyone??

This week we were able to visit a lot of people. We visited our new investigator this week, Maybelle. She has been doing soo well this week! Her baby Petros is seriously the cutest baby ever! Maybelle has a lot of faith and is so amazing! She understands what we teach her and what she needs to do to progress. It was actually kinda funny--towards the end of our lesson she said "yes, I know I need to read...otherwise I wont progress." I really loved that...because it meant she knew what she needed to do to become closer to Christ. It was so cool!

This week we also had a conference with the Zone leaders. They came up to Thess to give us a presentation on Doctrine and Covenants 20:37. In the meeting/conference we went into depth of that scripture means and how we can apply it better with our investigators. 

This week Sister Jansson and I did a lot of street contacting and finding! It was so good this week! We were able to find a lot of people who needed our help and were looking for the Savior's guidance. We were able to meet up with Sofia again from last week!! She really was looking for something. And we have arranged to meet with her again. Its been such a testimony builder to meet people like her!! 

This week we also had a lesson with Maya!! We taught her the restoration and she told us she felt something. She knows its true. It was so good to hear and be able to bear testimony of it! I know its true! And Im sooo grateful for the opportunity I have to share my testimony with the people here! 

We also had a lesson with Elsa and Bernada. They are both doing very well. Elsa wants to come and do service with us this week and Bernada told us in our previous lesson she wants to be baptized but just doesnt know when...

This week we were looking for a lady's apartment to meet up with her, but we couldnt find it and a young boy was walking by and so we asked him for some help. Afterward he asked us who we were and why we were here. We were able to tell him a lot...(basically... the first lesson/ restoration of the gospel). And after we had talked about it for a bit, he asked,"Do you really believe in Joseph Smith?" We smiled and said yes. And  told him how he can come to receive an answer. He really thought what we were telling him was interesting...and so, we gave him a Book of Mormon and said a prayer to end our little lesson. He smiled and said thank you. 
I know God puts us in these situations to bless people that have been prepared for us. I know that the young boy, Safiris felt the spirit. I know that when we listen to promptings we are guided. I love this work so much!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Love you all!!
Sister Ramsay

p.s
 We were given a bag of fresh fish from a member in church....It was one of those funny experiences you just dont forget! We are very grateful for the members and their service to us:)
