Selamat Pagi semuanya!
This week was one of those slow
weeks where everyone cancels and it's kinda rough living but you still receive
tons of blessings and learn that God truly is great!...yeah one of those weeks
:) Here's how it went!
Senin: We had a really good
family night with the Sudio family. They are an absolutely awesome family. Mbak
Atin came and we talked about Joseph Smith and prophets. It was a really good
lesson with the Spirit present.
Selasa: This was a good day. We
met two people interested in the church at a restaurant that sells food from
Manado (where Sister Believe is from). They were super kind and right away
wanted to come to church on Sunday. Wow! We had other appointments cancel but
it's all good! We still did the work of the Lord.
Rabu: We met with Mbak Atin
again and she really opened up to us. The Spirit was present once again and
we're really grateful she feels comfortable to express her concerns. The rest
of the day was pretty slow but still good.
Kamis: We had an awesome Weekly
Planning Session. We set some really great goals for this week. English class
was good too, we had a pretty decent turn out and leanred about Goldilocks and
the Three bears.
Jumat: We had our District
Meeting in Magelang. It's about an hourish bus ride away from Jogja. It was a
good meeting and we ate at a yummy restaurant. When we got home Sister Believe
and I met with a new investigator who is muslim but wants to marry with one of
the members here so he's taking the discussions. He's really great and receives
everything.
Sabtu: Saturday was just a
normal hard working day. President Donald called in the afternoon to tell us
about trasnfers. Sister Believe is being trasnfered to Medan. I get to pick up
my brand new fresh from the MTC companion on Friday in Jakarta! I'm really,
really excited to train! She's from Bekasi which is close to Jakarta. She's the
only Indonesian Sister coming in but there are 2 Indonesian elders. 4 other
sisters coming today and 8 elders from the Provo MTC. The mission is growing!
Hari Minggu: Wow we had 5
investigators come to church! It was so great! And a less active member came
again and hopefully will just keep coming. One of the contacts we met on
Tuesday came and asked some really great questions. He would make a wonderful
priesthood holder.
Well I love this work. I love
this gospel, and I love Indonesia!! Thank you for your love, support, and
Christmas cards. Maju Terus, Gereja ini Benar!
Love,Sister Sperry :)
