Sorry it's been longer than usual since my last
email- our pday was changed to today b/c we had another trip at the
Meridian temple! But then, a live endowment was happening and the
session got too full so they kicked us (the missionaries) to the next
session but by the time we got the permission from our MP to do the
not-noon-session we missed it and had left. So, we sat in the temple for
two hours, but didn't actually go through the temple.. Next time!
Anyways, this week was literally so cool.
So
this transfer my comp and I are part of a small group called "The
Mission Commitee" and basically that means it's our job (along with the
other companionships in this group) to help motivate and unify the
mission and solve any arising problems that we see happening around us.
So, together with the AP's, we decided the mission needed to focus most
on seeing miracles right now, and a big part of that is recognizing the
miracles already happening so much around us!
So
we sent out a text inviting all missionaries to fast together as a
mission this past Sunday to see miracles happen this week in "finding
one more" (referring to new people being taught), and within that first
night it was great and a few miracles were posted to the INM FB page,
and it was cool!
Then, Monday comes along and
it's pday for most of the mission, but not for our district (as you can
see from this email coming today lol). So, being a day we don't have any
regular set appointments, Sister Frandsen and I spent the entire day
visiting former and potential investigators that have been sitting on
our list for a while now that we just have never had enough time between
teaching appointments to visit yet. And the Lord definitely knew that
this was the day we needed to contact them! Every person we tried was
home and answered the door and we got to meet with them and by the time
we went home that night we had 11 return appointments set for the rest
of the week (which, if they all become new investigators, would beat our
PR of 9 new people that glorious week in Baker a while back 😁)!
It
was just such a testimony builder to me that the Lord knows us, He
knows everyone around us, and He constantly inspires us in so many
different ways- sometimes so small we don't even recognize it! But as we
are willing to sacrifice, to show Him our faith and the desire we have
to be made instruments in His hands and to have our eyes opened to His
miracles He will show us His wondrous works!
God is so good. 😊💛
Fasting and mighty prayer work miracles according to our faith, as our faith allows the Lord to work miracles in our life.
Needless
to say, the FB page now has a lot of miracles posted onto it and the
Idaho Nampa Mission will live on to be a legendary time of miraculous
missionary stories for those who served here 😁👍.. because yes- the
rumors you've heard are true- we are becoming the Idaho Boise Mission in
July when the currently existing IBM gets divided in half and we take
over their largest city (Boise), their name, and half of their
missionaries.
But it's all in the Lord's will! He knows what
He's doing. 😉 And we aren't actually changing at all other than just
growing. 😊👍
Anyways, I invite you all to look
for miracles this week, and I promise you will always find them. You
are never alone and you will find that God is in even the smallest
details of your life because He Loves You.
And I love you too. 😊💛
Email you again soon!
Sister Wilcox
P.S.
Pics are of exchanges and the temple and all of my favorite peeps at
the mission conference we got to have to discuss the mission changes! It
was a good day to see everyone I love in one place! 😍😊
