The Flood came down

5/15/2017

Hi Yall! 

So on Friday, my companion and I went to see a potential investigator, and it was starting to rain. Well when the potential investigator, Andrea, answered the door, she told us to come back in 20 minutes because she was on a business call. So we thought,no big deal we will just go tracting for 20 minutes in the rain. Well we got to one house with it lightly raining, then as we continue down the road, it starts pouring even more. The last door we knocked, she was not interested, but she felt bad for us so she gave us an umbrella to use because it was pouring. I was literally soak from head to toe,and my shoes were soaked. So Sister Fox and i booked it back to our car and sat for a few minutes drying off. Then we went back to Andrea's house and were able to teach her about the Book of Mormon.

On Saturday,the ward was doing an auction and enchilada baking contest for their Girls camp fundraiser. We went and when we got there, a member (who owns a hotel) gave us missionaries each $20 to spend in the auction. Now there was the other ward's 4 missionaries there as well because they were invited by this member. When the auction came, sister fox and i bid on this gift basket with 2 beach towels that have something about Pensacola embroidered on it. The other missionaries bid on food. At the end of the fundraiser, Sister Fox and i got handed a family size pecan pie, plate of Carrot Cake cookies, 1/4 of a Texas Sheet cake, and leftover of the beans and rice they had for a side for the enchiladas. The members had all bid on these desserts to help donate to the girls camp fundraiser, but they did not want the desserts. Sister Fox and i are trying to eat healthy, so we decided we would bring everything to our district meeting on Tuesday and have our district eat it all. 

It has been alot of fun this week. We were able to teach our investigator Chelsea, 2 times this week. She has a baptism date and is excited to get baptized. She has such a strong faith and even though Satan keeps throwing things at her, she has stayed strong. She loves the Book of Mormon and knows this church is true. I love how Heavenly Father has prepared the people in Pace, and as we work hard, we will be able to find His elect.

"Behold this is the doctrine of Christ, and there will be no more doctrine given until after he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh. And when he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh, the things which he shall say unto you shall ye observe to do." 

- 2 Nephi 32:6

Of Him the Prophet also declared: “And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!“For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—“That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God” (D&C 76:22–24).

The Living Christ

Love you all!!! My commitment for you this week is to study The Living Christ and learn more about the Savior in the scriptures.

Love,

Sister Lewis

P.S. here are pictures from when we were soaking, when we built a house, the time this week that we broke a book shelf trying to redecorate our apartment, and the fun of missionary work.
