Howdy Everyone!
This week I have learned quite a lot about the Plan of Salvation and I
am so very grateful for it. I know that everything happens for a
reason.
To start my week, we went bowling as a district and I almost got 3
strikes in the last frame, but I missed a few pins on my last try. It
was awesome though because I was so far behind and then came back and
got second. I thought it was pretty sweet! 😊😂😜
Some tender mercies really happened this week. It really was an off
week for us finding wise. I felt like we didn't do a whole lot, but
looking back a lot of stuff happened. This upcoming week is going to
be awesome! It's all because of the wonderful plan that my Heavenly
Father has in store. I could really feel Him leading us to where we
needed to be. IT WAS AWESOME!!! 💜😊
The first thing was Zone Conference. We had it on Thursday at 9 am. We
got up and got ready and we were actually going to be on time. Well
the night before our tire pressure light came on and we thought
nothing of it and we just planned and got into bed. Well we paid for
that in the morning. Sister Dillman had an idea to check all the
pressures in the tires before we left then that's when we found it. A
flat tire! Well so much for being on time for us! We had no clue how
we were going to get to Cookeville for Zone Conference! Sister Dillman
had an idea to call the mission office. We called and the Sister there
told us that the other couples going to Zone Conference had already
left, so she gave us one of their numbers so we could call. We called
and turns out they were just getting to the Crossville exit! WHAT!?
Talk about miracle! We were so excited! I felt like Ammon in Alma 26!
It wasn't us, but it was our Heavenly Father! We actually made it on
time to Zone Conference too, with two minutes to spare! It was an
awesome Conference! 😂😜
President sent out an email a few weeks ago telling us what to prepare
for Zone Conference. We had to prepare an experience where the Holy
Ghost helped us. Once I read that email I felt sure that President was
going to call on me. Well sure enough when it came to that point in
the Conference I was the second person called on! It was a good time
though. I am so grateful for the companionship of the Holy Ghost in my
life. I know that I wouldn't be where I am today without it! 😳😁😊💜
Some more tender mercies happened the following day! Friday was
actually pretty good! We went to visit one of the recent converts so
we could get her new member lessons going again. Well turns out we had
to reschedule because her mom wasn't home and she was doing chores and
forgot we were coming over that day. We were headed back to the car
and I felt like we should go knock on this potential investigator's
door. Turned out that she moved four days prior. We had no clue what
we were going to do next! As we were walking back to the car a guy in
a truck asked us if we were the new missionaries. We were so excited!
We got to talking and turns out the Elders before us were teaching
him, but he ended up moving and getting a new phone number and didn't
tell the Elders, so they lost contact with him! He told us that he
was excited to take lessons and that he wanted a Book of Mormon. We
are way excited to teach him on Saturday! This guy seems golden! It'll
be great teaching somebody for a change! 😊 My Heavenly Father is just
amazing! Did y'all know that!?
After we got done talking to this golden guy. We went to look for some
more investigators that the Elders left us. We went to find this guy
and his wife answered the door. Usually the wife gets very defensive
when two young girls asking for their husband knock on the door. She
was pretty cool though and let us know when we could come back. They
seem pretty promising too! 😊 I am so excited for this next week!
We definitely do have a plan and reasoning for everything! 😊 I am
definitely glad that I don't have to go through anything alone. I
always have my Savior, my Heavenly Father, the Holy Ghost, my
companion, my family and friends. I am just so blessed and this week
has really opened my eyes to that! Thank you all for everything that
you have done for me! 💜😊 I am so grateful for everything that I have
been given!
Remember that the church is true, the book is blue, and I love you!
😊💜 Have a fandidalytastic week!
Love,
Sister Jacob
