Yogyakarta (Week 33)

Dear World,

Wow another week has FLOWN by! And it was a wonderful week. We really saw the hand of God in our work this week and it was such a great blessing. God has not forgotten about Indonesia! The work my be slower than it is in other parts in the world but it is hastening. Before you know it I'll be coming back for the opening of the Indonesian Temple. Wooh!! Well here's how my week went:

Senin: Me and Sister Toegono bought some Batik fabric and had some dresses made. They are so cool! We are going to buy more today ;) I love the cultural stuff here! Also we met with Eddy and Hoa, the def couple, and committed them again to baptism. Great lesson! 

 

Selasa: We went on splits with the other sisters so I was with Sister Olsen for the day! It was so neat to be her companion again and to see The progression that we've both had! We taught some good lessons and practiced with the choir for Stake Conference (which Sister Peni invited me to lead one of the songs! I am SO excited!). Sister Hasibuan and Sister Toegono worked in our area and they helped 2 more of our investigators commit to baptism. WOW!! It was so great to hear! 

 

Rabu: Was a pretty normal day. Worked hard, contacted people, and had an overall good day.

Kamis: We went to Kelatan and I met a pastor on the bus that wants to read the Book of Mormon. I "lent" him the book and I invited him to church but he didn't come. That's something that President has asked us to do, lend the Book of Mormon. Then we automatically have an excuse to meet with them again and hopefully teach a lesson. Now we just need to find him to get my Book of Mormon back. We also visited a good Katolik family. 

Jumat: We helped one of the ward members move, had a good District Meeting, and had some awesome lessons with two Investigators that both have baptismal dates. I have never had so many people committed to baptism at one time! It's so neat! And I know it only came after Sister Toegono and I made some covenants with Heavenly Father and sacrificed a few things. If this is the reward I am more than happy to sacrifice anything. This is amazing~! 

Sabtu: Another normal hard working day. The hand of the Lord is in this work I just know it! 

Hari Minggu: Yet another baptismal commitment to someone who lives in Kelatan! Wow! And it rained really hard while Sister Toegono and I were trying to get to a members house. We had to stop and then the road we wanted flooded...Needless to say we got wet. But the storm was AWESOME! 

I can really feel God's Hands in things. I know this is His work and that in His own time things will be done. Indonesia is progressing, the whole world is progressing, and it is exciting! I hope we all call work together to see this church grow and help our friends, family, and everyone we know receive the blessings from this Gospel. 

Have a great work! Work hard, have fun! 

With love,

Sister Sperry :) 

Look at your phone. Does that contact know you're a member? Have you talked with them about the church? You don't think they're interested or wouldn't be? Who are you to judge? ;) (That's from President Donald. He's pretty great). 

SUPER MISSIONARIES!
