Well I finished my last week in my 1st transfer!! Tomorrow we get a new visa waiter, who is waiting to go to Peru!!! I have a feel we are going to get a spanish pool too! Which would be awesome! Last Pday we went to a place called graffiti park and we were so close to Manhattan! Ill probably never get to go on my mission. But thats okay! I'll go after :D
Tuesday Sister Gonzalez couldn't do anything because her feet hurt and her shoes were really bad. But we went to a senior couples apartment and they fed us and shared their story! THey were married about 2 years ago. Both of their spouses passed away and they got married and decided to serve a mission as a honeymoon. haha Sister Jensen is so cool. (the senior couple) After her husband died she went and served a mission in Paraguay. She was a single missionary and wanted to learn Spanish so she did! After that I ended up deep cleaning the apartment. Mom you'll be surprised to hear that I have been really clean on my mission! haha If you dont believe me ask my companions. I'm trying to be strictly obedient to everything, including cleaning. haha
2 Sisters in my zone recieved their visas. I got an email about mine today. They are working hard! But Im glad im not there. It sounds pretty bad! I know Im supposed to be here :)
On wednesday Sister Jensen took us to get sister Gonzalez shoes. It was really nice of her. I loved being in a clean car :) It was like a piece of heaven. I love cars!
Our less active member came to church this week! We showed her the John Tanner Story. Everyone should watch it :) After I asked her "Sister Mohammed do you believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God? She said yes. Do believe that God would give you a commandment that he would not provide the means to obey? No. Then Sister Mohammed will you follow the commandment and return to church and she said YES!! YAYYYYYYY!!! :D :D :D :D!
A couple miracles happened this week. A girl we have been trying to contact we ran into this last week and we are teachiing her this week :) And another happened where we had a prompting to turn around when we were on the way to a families house but we ended up running into them in the park! We are teaching them today :)
I had a bold moment the other day at a street sweep. A lady came up to me and started bashing. I just stopped her and said "I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints is the true church set up by God in these Latter days. I am not her to argue. Contention is of Satan." She looked at me and just walked away. All the elders just went "woah." hahaha
This week we did a flash mob to a childs prayer on the subway. You should all look to see if it is on Youtube. Hopefully it will get out there and touch some lives!
This week was a good week. I love being here and I know this is where the Lord needs me. We watched a mission broadcast given by the 12 apostles. So many people are in the MTC right now!! The work of the Lord is moving forward and it is up to the members to catch up! Missionary work should not be tracting. It should be the missionaries assisting the members. SO invite! Dont be afird. If we invite miracles will follow our faith. Help is always there when we have faith :) SO you member invite missionaries over and have nonmember friends over too! Every member should be a missionary :)
I know if you do this the work will hasten.
I love you! The church is true!
Sister Powell :)
