So this week we HAD AN INCREDIBLE WEEK.
I wish I could tell you everything cool that happened but I will
just say a few things!
So, we have been trying to work with members and help them get
the love of missionary work into their hearts. We have a fireside and we
invited a young boy to bear his testimony at it. It came as a very strong
prompting to me and I wondered why. Well on Sunday he showed up with three of
his football friends! Haha the Lord just knew he needed a little push. COOL!
Can't wait to hear his testimony at the fireside.
I decided to change my attitude a few weeks ago to more of an
expectation that I was going to see more conversion. Well, apparently, that was
what was missing from my missionary work because I AM SEEING BIG MIRACLES.
Bigger than ever before. It hit me last night that I can't ever do or see
anything that I haven't even imagined or had any faith in happening. Miracles
happen after the trial of our faith. Sometimes it is just elevating our belief
or trust that it could happen! (I hope that makes sense).
We worked this one street like it was the only street in our
area and after around 8 referrals we are seeing this area COME ALIVE. We found
an awesome family and it has been amazing to see the dads heart just completely
soften towards the gospel. They are going through a lot. Please keep them in
your prayers.
Just a fun little story: The other day Sister Allen and I worked
an area and found nothing promising. As we were leaving, Sister Allen said
something about this area just not being any good right now. I felt my heart
sink and instantly I recognized what a lie that was! I immediately turned
around and we talked to the first person we saw because I felt like if Satan
was working that hard on our hearts there is someone prepared to hear the
gospel there! I realized how even the smallest negative thought comes from the
evil one! My challenge this week is to BEcome quick to recognize the
negative thoughts you have and then remember who they come from! THEY ARE NOT
FROM GOD. Only good things come from him (:
My testimony grew so much in the Book of Mormon this week when I
left my scriptures 10ft away from me and then ended up not having time to go
get them and share a scripture. I cried myself to sleep that night because my
heart just ached that I couldn't share Alma 40:11 with her after a death in her
family! I realized how true I know the scriptures are. Cool experience.
Well, I love you all and I love being a representative of Jesus
Christ! President talks about how our calling from him TRUMPS all of the
opposition we face. Sure, I feel closer to the devil than ever before, but that
is because I am getting closer and closer to God. With all good, there is the
evil there to oppose it! gospel principle (:
Love, Sister Campbell
