Hello hello!
This week has been crazy busy knowing that Sister Hales and
I are both being transferred. I am going to miss the Independence Ward, but I
am also so excited to go back to the Priesthood Restoration Site.
I was thinking a lot about what I learned from my time in
this area, and here is what I learned: MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!!
When I first got here we didnt have anyone to teach and we
spent a lot of time with less active members. My second transfer here we did a
lot of finding, and there were some pretty mean people. I have never received
so much persecution before. At this point, I was just about to give up. But my
third transfer here came around and miracles started to happen.
Things still weren't the easiest, we got bible bashed and
people told us that we weren't going to find salvation, but we pressed on. And
that is when we found Justin! We met Justin street contacting and at first he
wasnt super interested. Well we met with him and introduced the Book of Mormon
and he loved it. He told us that he wants to get baptized and now he is
preparing for baptism!
Justin's story is truly a miracle, God has His hand in every
detail. Only a few days before we met Justin he was staying at a hotel. He
opened the nightstand drawer and there was a Book of Mormon in it. Well, a few
days later we came by and talked about the Book of Mormon. He told it as a sign
that this is the path that God wants him on.
I spent 3 transfers here with what felt like not much
success, but as I kept going and moving forward so many good things came out of
it. So many less actives started coming back, and we were able to find and help
Justin.
So whenever you are struggling and having a hard time,
always remember that miracles do happen!
Love you all!
Over and out,
Sister Larsen
My Philadelphia friends!!!
And I LOVE MANAYUNK!
