Yogyakarta - Week 24

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 :)
