Dear Family and Friends,
This week was super tiring so I was going to not write a weekly letter but I just can't resist! This week was great and we found out that we are both staying in Lake Placid!! yay!! I love it here and I will be sad to leave when I do get transferred, so for now I am so so happy to stay! We had a really awesome but strange lesson this week, the spirit was super duper strong and we set our investigator with a baptism date, but it was also the weirdest experience of my life. I'll just tell you what it involved, it involved a note being passed around, a cat in heat, a muslim, a prayer circle around cigars, and a forced priesthood blessing. yeah super weird, but it just goes to show that if the spirit is there strong enough, nothing else really matters :)
We put together a family history night as a way to find people to teach, which really wasn't super successful that way but 2 of our investigators did come and 3 less-actives came so that was awesome!
We saw Trisha again, we didn't really get to teach her a lesson we just kind of got to know her more, but I got to give her a Book of Mormon with my testimony in it. She was really excited about it and said that she had always wanted to read it, but never had the chance to, and she loved my testimony in the beginning of it, she is so sweet, I love her!
This week at church our investigator Liz came, she is so awesome! She really wants to get baptized but is waiting for approval from her husband. Anyways we have been praying that she would be able to have a spiritual experience without being distracted by her 2 cute little girls. This sunday they were answered! During sacrament her 2 little girls came over and sat next to me and sister Mathews and played with us, yay! And her littlest girl actually stayed in nursery the whole time because we were there this week :) It was a huge answer to our prayers.
Can I just say how important it is not to judge those who come to church. The reason we go to church is because we are imperfect, we don't go to church because we are worthy, we go because we are unworthy and we need the atonement in our lives. I may have quoted this already but I'm going to quote it again, "church is not a museum for saints, it is a hospital for sinners." Anyone can go to church, church is there for everyone. Be kind to those you see at church and don't judge them, you are both there for the same reasons, to become closer to God. If everyone remembered this I think investigators would not feel so scared to go to church.
Anyways I love you all! Keep pressing forward in whatever you are doing!
-love sister Hunting
