Solo (Week 57)


 

WOW!!!!!!! Oktober is almost done...where is the time going!?!?!?!?!! This week was awesome with PLD and a baptism and we are just stoked to keep working hard! Unfortunately I found out I'm going to be moving  come early November but it'll be a good change and a new opportunity to work hard! Well here's the week :) 

Senin: just a normal nice pday. We went and saw a none active member who's kid is SO SMART, He's three and already knows a little english. nuts! 
Selasa: we tried going to all sorts of places but not many worked out...that's ok people have agency. We did get to meet with the Sigit family and they are just awesome. The father has so many awesome questions! Now we just got to get them to come to church to get answers to all those questions! 

Rabu: We had interviews with President Donald. It's always so great to see him and Sister Donald. They are such great people and I know for a fact they were called of God to serve these amazing people in Indonesia :D The bules got to play basketball which was way fun even though they were all 6 feet taller than me....I'm a lot more comfortable playing with the Indonesians who are more my height  :) 

Kamis: We had our PLD meeting with the president and the aps. It was really good and we learned how to be "Full Purpose Missionaries." We are working hard to find, teach, baptize and confirm, RETAIN and reactivate! Retention and reactivation are two of the hardest parts of being a full purpose missionary. But we are working hard here in  Indonesia! The members really make all the difference in these areas of missionary work. So DEAR MEMBERS...WORK WITH THE MISSIONARIES!!! Help us out! We all need to come together to help our brothers and sisters stay on the true and right path. The path that leads to eternal happiness. They need our help!!!! We have to work together to bring God's kingdom to all. EVERYONE NEEDS THIS GOSPEL!!!!! God loves all His children, that has been manifest to me SO many times on my mission...please help Him to spread that love. 

Jumat: We went and taught the park again :) Those people are so great, really. So humble. We also went to a missionary farewell for 3 missionaries that will be coming to Indonesia. They leave for the MTC this week :D at the end of November we will have 98 missionaries!! WE ARE GROWING!! It's so exciting to see this work grow :) Also we learned in PLD, that the mission has gotten 104 baptisms so far this year, compared to around 70 last year. WOOT! TEMPLE IN INDONESIA HERE WE COME!! God remembers His children even on the isles of the sea in this wonderful country :) And this growth is why it is so important to have help from the members for retention and reactivation.

Sabtu: Regular hard working day :) I could really feel the Spirit in our lessons and that is always such a great feeling :) 

Hari Minggu: we got denied 6 times but I wasn't even mad becasue IBU SUMARSIH GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We thought we would still have to wait untli next week so it was a great surprise to learn that she would be able to be baptized this week. She was so happy she said she wanted to do it again :) We love her so much and it was such a blessing to see her get baptized :D 

 

I love missionary work! I love my life! I love this country and I love God. I know this church is true and God the Father loves you too!MAJU TERUS GEREJA INI BENAR!!

LOVE,
GO AGGIES!!!
Sister Sperry :)
