Wow what a week! We were always busy which was awesome, made
a LOT of contacts, gave away some Kitab Mormon and I just had a great first
week in Solo. I absolutely love my companion. She works hard, has fun, is
brave, and persistent! Well here's how our week went:
Senin: We got to go to Jogja to play futsol as a district. It was like coming home ;) Haha even though it had only been like 4 days. It was fun to meet with everyone and I bought some awesome batik shorts! I'm going to be the coolest kid at school when I get home.
Then when we got back to Solo we decided to do some
proselyting. We went to Solo Grand Mal and I had a feeling to go into
Hypermaret (it's kind of like Walmart). We did quite a bit of contacting and then
while we were at the check out point I saw this guy wearnig a shirt that said
"I <3 Jesus Christ" and I instantly thought hey he's Christian! We
went to go talk to him and turns out him and the girl he was with are looking
for a new church. WAHO!! We got their information and did our "success
dance" when we got back to the house. ;)
Selasa; We had quite a few cancelations but we didn't let
that get in the way! We went out there and worked. We met with a few people
that we didn't plan for and met a lot of new people. Funny how we show our
faith and dedication through preparation and planning and then God takes our
plans and makes them His own. It's really neat!
Rabu: We got to meet with that couple at the church. We gave
them a church tour and Ibu Ima, the girl, got chills. She got them again when
we read Moroni 10:3-5. It was awesome! We could actually see the Holy Ghost
work with her! We are excited to get to know Ibu Ima and Pak Bagus more. Pak
Bagus just moved from Muslim to Christian and said he just hasn't found a
church yet. We're hoping he starts to feel really comfortable here.
Kamis; This was another one of those days where God switched
up our plans. We met with 2 moms while proselyting and as we were teaching them
like a group of 15 kids gathered around us. It was awesome! I felt like such a
missionary :)
Also we met with Brother and Sister Tito. They are a member
family that is way cool! And so nice. And have lots of dogs.
Jumat: We got rejected over and over and over. But hey,
that's life. Sister Fisher said she realized the Christ felt the same thing.
People rejected Him. That was a really cool way to look at it.
Sabtu: We met with an investigator who didn't want to get
baptized until her birthday in July and we were all prepared to try and
convince her to switch the date because we feel she's already ready and there's
no reason to wait. Before we said anything she said, oh I can be baptized next
week right? OF COURSE!! So we are preparing a baptism for June 8th (happy
B-day Natalie Gines ;) )
Hari Mingg: Unfortunately Ibu Ima and Pak Bagus couldn't
come to church. It's ok we'll get them next week! Other than that, had a
meeting with one of the Ward mission leaders that served with my teachers from
the MTC. It was cool :)
Well I hope you all have a wonderful week!! Love you! and
remember Miracles happen daily!
Love,
Sister Sperry :)
