Elise Williamson* showed up at church two weeks ago when Sister Lanigan and I were sick. Since we weren't there, we didn't get to meet her, and she wasn't there the next week. But this past Sunday, she was! We met with her after church, and she is so prepared! God has answered her prayers about the Book of Mormon, which she's already been reading, and she is already excited to be baptized! She said her friend from Germany, who's a member of the church, was talking to her about the Book of Mormon because she was looking for a church. He told her to pray about it and to call the missionaries. She never did call us. She came to church instead.
And that, my friends, is how you do member missionary work. I am so grateful for the members who befriended our investigator and shared their testimony with her. It has already changed her life.
Friends and family, you never know how much the gospel will bless your life until you try it. Sister Williamson tried it, and she's so incredibly happy already.
The gospel is life.
Make it yours.
Sister McKay
*Names have been changed
1. Upside down stop sign. Umm... go?
2. For the morning of Thanksgiving, Sister Lanigan and I went to the local park and drew up a thankful list with chalk. We were hoping people would add to the list, and they did! This entry took the cake. Our hearts melted.
3. One of the member families' little kids grabbed Elder Snow's bag and decided he was a missionary. I decided it was too cute not to take a picture. (By the way, whenever we play a game with teams, Elder Snow and I are on the same team and we call it the Prophet Team. It's awesome.)
