Wow,
Can you believe it? I'm on my third week here in Chesterfield, England! What a fantastic week it has been! Full of miracles and baptisms!! yes I said baptisms!! Two of my investigators were baptized December 14th, 2013 and Confirmed December 15, 2013!!! the baptism was amazing. one of the elders-Elder Orr and myself sang a musical number Acapella and i have to say I'm suprised that my voice didn't crack! haha. we sang i know that my redeemer lives. the spirit was so powerful and great. it was amazing to see two children of god enter the waters of baptism in just my second week in the field. Chesterfield is on Fyre like i have been saying and is full of miracles. we had just 5 miracles Friday! i have them written down and will never forget them. i have been able to notice more and more when i have a prompting from the holy ghost to say something in lessons or just when finding. i am so proud and happy to be here. i have seen the miracles of when my investigators are changing me while im helping them change theirself. we as missionaries are NOT teachers! WE ARE GUIDES!! thats something that i've learned a great deal of here in the last week. i am so thankful for everyone and the support you give me.
Its so weird because I don't know what to say. haha. I don't have enough time. lol.
Miracles:)
1. we were walking and i said hiya(that's what they say here in chesterfield) and just continued to walk he then turned back and said hey are you two elders? hahah no were not we are sisters, we replied. we then found out that he was being taught by the elders but haven't seen him in 5 weeks. we set up a time to meet with him this week:)
2. 5 minutes later after miracle one we got a call from two Slovakian girls that we met on the bus a week before asking when we weren't busy so we could come see them!!
3. had a lesson with this guy we met on the street a week before. i prayed that he would come with questions because he is really big in Buddhism(well that's the closest religion he will affiliate himself with) and he came with questions and we were able to answer them with the spirit. we were able to see his head turning and he supported all of our answers so it was super nice, but we didn't feel impressed to invite him to be baptized but that's okay.
4. we then had a less active to tract down that our bishop gave, we went to the house to find out she didn't live there anymore, but the guy who lives there now is interested in learning more!!!! ahhhh!!!
5. we then didn't know what to do so we said a prayer on the side of the road and didn't feel impressed to knock or to street contact but this one house stood out to Sister Beesley and we went. a lady opened the door and I said "hi, how are you, I'm Sister Howard." she said, "come in, come in" what the heck!! I mean what the awesome!! haha. no one has ever let us in when we just knock we were at her house for a good 30 minutes. she told us her life story and then invited us back!! and shes Catholic!!!
so those are my miracles that all happened on Friday, December 13,2013 -FRIDAY THE 13TH!! haha. i just realized that. lol
well I hope everyone has a very very Merry Christmas and remember what its all about!!
With love,
Sister Howard
