Good day everyone! As you may have noticed, I hit my 4 month mark this past week! It's crazy!
This week was good, we struggled a little bit with our numbers, but it was a good week nonetheless. So much has happened! Daniel is progressing and he loved conference! Direct quote from him about conference, "It was informative, and focused mainly on principles of faith." Yes, Daniel. We love him so much! He told us he had already seen all of the anti-mormon material and that he trusts us as a more reliable source. He's so awesome!
Lilli is doing really well and I am loving her more and more every day! She is working on getting a patriarchal blessing and a temple recommend. Her divorce is finalized and she's officially a young single adult! Woohoo!
We got to go to the temple visitor's center this week with an almost-investigator named Jim. He's roommates with one of our favorite ward members, Mace. He loved the visitor's center and was surprised that there was a place that nice in Oakland. haha!
The ward is doing really well and I love them all so much! As sister Livingston would say, "They're all so adorable!" It is true, brothers and sisters. The Monta Vista YSA ward really is where it's at. I love everything about it!
Marcella is doing really well. The ward is fellowshipping her so well and she is fitting in great! Her boyfriend, Michael, just left on his mission, so the ward is supporting her really well!
So that's basically it for the people we're teaching. As for me, I'm doing better. I was struggling a bit the first couple of weeks of the transfer, but things have been put in perspective for me and I'm doing really well. I've gained a testimony of prayer and faith. They really go together like pb&j. You can't have one without the other. Pray to Heavenly Father and then go out and act with faith. He ALWAYS delivers.
I've gotten better at teaching, too! The more you work at something and have sincere desire to be good at it, the Lord will bless you. So this whole mission thing is going well. I'm loving it. It sounds cliche, but it really is the best time of my life! I love the gospel and I love the Lord! I love His work and I'm so blessed that He trusts me with this portion of the vineyard.
Oh and a shout-out to the Harris Chronicles! Hello everyone! I love you all!
God Speed!
Your favorite Sister in Zion,
Sister Julie Catherine Harris
