We had a really amazing week and it ended well with 6 investigators (Janelle and her family and a part member couple) coming to church! Janelle and her 4 kids all came and loved it! Because they are not in our area (they are literally on the wrong side of the road) we have to pass them off but I am so grateful to have met such a wonderful family like them! And we met them all because a member decided to share the gospel at his work!
We had MLC this past week and it was so spiritual and everything tied together so well! Sister Whatcott and I trained on having enduring faith even when miracles don't always pan out the way we want them to. I am grateful to have learned so much about that as we prepared our training; we truly never know where our words or actions might someday take people.
The Fairhope sisters came here for exchanges and it was a blast! Sister Housel and I had so much fun together and I learned so much from her example!
We got a new church building that we moved into last week and it is so beautiful! Grateful that the church is growing in Tallahassee; I cannot wait to one day hear about more church buildings being built ( and a temple would be nice too!)
Venetia is doing SO well! I absolutely love her and she is just soaking up the gospel so much! I feel like those lessons with her on the porch are the most spiritual lessons that I look forward to teaching! Sister Whatcott asked her, "What has helped you change in your life?" and she thinks for a moment and responds, "Honestly, you guys! Ever since I have been meeting with yall, I have felt happier and the depression doesn't seem to drag me down. It's fleeting and doesn't stay but I am getting there. I look forward to meeting with y'all so I can feel it again." Because we were teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we were able to help her see that what she feels with us is not actually us but the Spirit, and when she is baptized and receives that gift, she will have it to be with her all the time as she lives worthy of it! I am very grateful for prepared people to teach! As I was reflecting about what allows me to find happiness on my mission, I have found that it is really the people that make it all worth it!
Love yall!
Sister Bake
