I'm turning 15!

May 26, 2015.....Happy Birthday to me!

I HAVE to type on my iPad this week due to it being Memorial Day and
all (first world problems), so I'm just going to type a few highlights
from this week:

1. Arturo taught us his first new member lesson about the restoration
and may or may not have called it the restorection of the gospel,
twice. He also paid his tithing this week and was super excited about
it! He also asked about that part in Joseph smiths first vision where
it talks about e hearts of men at the time drawing near to God with
their lips but their hearts being far from him. He said when he first
started meeting with us he could tell we were close to God silly
because of how he felt when we talked about him and he could also tell
everything was true in such a powerful way that it scared him.

2. Jennifer cooked us breakfast ( she calls it a loophole because she
can keep us longer when she feeds us) and continues to call me Amish
and ask where my horse and buggy is. She makes this "hiyah!" Sound
like she is cracking a whip when she sees me. She says it's from Ohio.
She calls sister Schafer Swiss family Robinson because of her sailboat
trip with her family
:)
3. The biggest miracle of this week was too big to write because it's
multileveled ( props of serving in rose park area for over a year) but
I'll tell you the second biggest one! We took one of our ward
missionaries out with us and found no one home all night and everyone
we talked to pretty much rejected us.  On the way home it was 9:50 so
we asked the ward missionary if her inactive brother who she had told
us about was home. She said we could check and we ended up sharing a
message with him and his active parents. Tears filled their eyes as we
invited paul to allow the light of the gospel back into his life
through coming to join our ward. He said he wasn't ready for church
yet but would be willing to meet with us once a week. It was a
testament to me that we have to go down to the level where people are
and lift them from there until they're strong enough on their own. His
mother whispered an emotional thank you in our ears as we hugged her
goodbye.

This is the Lord's work and it is the work of salvation, no doubt
about it! I have the best job.

Love,
Sister Pearson

P.s. In reference to my age, I'm actually turning a bit older than 15
but I think I forgot to mention that the first time sister Johnson and
I went to teach Claudine who is 15 she thought I was younger than her
and was amazed I would be out trying to teach her something about God
when I was so young;)
