Aloha!
I hope you're getting a beautiful tan right now. It's
actually 65 degrees in Salt Lake - I can't believe it. This week has been so great. About
a month ago, I was on exchanges with Sister Tekurio and we took this guy on a
tour. He was super sweet and told us a lot about his life and his faith in God.
At the end of the tour we asked if he'd like to meet with missionaries back in
his state and he said it wasn't really something he was interested in, so we
asked him if we could keep in touch with him and teach him a little more over
the phone. He said sure and so we've called him two or three times since then. On Monday, he said he wants to meet with local missionaries!
I don't really know what to write. Seriously the week just
flew. But I'm just so grateful to be a missionary. There is really nothing
sweeter than being able to share how you feel about Christ everyday and watch
people change their lives with Christ's help. I'm so excited to see you again, though, and apply in the real world the things that I've felt and learned.
Yesterday, we had such a sweet experience. We were about to
go home and this girl stopped Sister Almeida and me (...love it when that happens).
She was like "Sisters! Do you have a minute?" We, of course, said "Sure" and started talking and she actually works in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and was telling us that one of her co-workers has been asking her a
lot of questions about the Gospel. He went with her to the Provo City
Temple open house last week and she said that she wanted to bring him to Temple
Square and have us take them on a tour! She just inspired me so much and you
could tell just really loves sharing the Gospel in the simple ways that she's
able to. We are going to meet them this next week and take him around Temple
Square, so hopefully it will go really well!
A scripture just keeps popping into my head that I read a
few months ago. It's in Proverbs 27:14. It says,
"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord."
I feel like waiting and trusting in God is something that
I've been able to practice a lot the past year and a half and it is so
beautiful to know that He does have a perfect plan and that if I can just be
humble and wait on His timing, He will give me strength and peace to keep
walking until my path unfolds in front of me.
I love my Savior. I'm grateful for the peace He's given me
and for the opportunity and blessing I have to repent and change everyday with His help.
Love you so much! Hope you have the best week.
Sister Helton
