Sister Sabrina Trimble in Canada: Being A Missionary Is The Best!! July 18, 2016

Can I just say that being a missionary is the BEST! We have just been so blessed this week! To start off, last Sunday we stopped by a part member family's house. Amanda is less active and her boyfriend Chris isn't a member. They have seen missionaries a few times in the past but never really wanted lessons or anything like that. But last Sunday they had their baby Lane blessed in Sacrament meeting. Since Sister Brown and I were speaking in Vauxhall we weren't able to attend the meeting and Bishop asked us to stop by during the week but we were never able to catch them home... so we went last Sunday to visit with them and congratulate them on blessing their little baby boy!! While we were visiting with them they asked us to come for supper on Thursday (meaning this Thursday that just happened) So we asked them if after supper we could have a lesson about The Plan of Salvation because they just had a baby, and they said YES!!! So on Thursday we had a lesson with them and it was amazing! Chris was asking so many awesome questions and he said, " I feel like now, I'm finally ready to learn." Oh we are just so excited!! I love being able to see how Heavenly Father prepares people. I'm so grateful that the Spirit is the true teacher and that I have this awesome opportunity to just be an instrument in the Lords hands.

Also this week we were able to visit with Lester and Brenda again. We talked a lot about baptism and found out that Lester and Brenda both felt like they got baptized because they felt pressured into it, not because they really knew the Gospel of Jesus Christ was true. So we invited them to take the lessons again and take time to learn, and gain their own testimonies of the Gospel. During our visit Lester actually said. "I feel more ready now, than ever before to really learn about the Gospel." They both said that they wanted to talk it over together and decide if that was right for both of them, but the Spirit was so strong and I am so grateful for all of the things that we were able to talk about. I just love what it says in Moroni 10:5 "And by the power of the Holy Host ye may know the truth of all things." The Spirit truly is the teacher. I am so grateful for the Spirit and that it can guide our words and help each of us feel the individual love the our Father in Heaven and Savior Jesus Christ has for us. I love being able to see the Spirit touch the lives of so many people here in Taber and also see how the Spirit is changing my life. I am so grateful for the Gospel and our Savior Jesus Christ. I know that because of Him there is always hope.
