Hola!
I could just cry right now thinking about how hard
this week has been. I could just cry thinking about how amazing this week has
been. I found out early- missions are hard. Really hard. BUT miracles are real.
Very real.
This week Sister Clark and I were on a split and were
knocking doors and we knocked on Angel's door. Angel immediately let us in and
started bearing testimony of her love of Christ. She also shared with us all of
the things she has been going through in her life. Angel has had a rough life.
Really rough. She had to hit rock bottom a couple months ago to come unto her
Heavenly Father and Christ. We just sat in her kitchen for over an hour as her
and I took turns sharing our experiences and our testimony of Christ while
completely balling our eyes out. I don't know if I have ever felt so connected
to someone within 10 minutes. She is just so broken and every time I think or
pray about her I just know that of all things right now, she needs the constant
companion of the Holy Ghost so badly. Last night I bore testimony that I know
wasn't coming from me-as I was speaking to her with tears running down my face
I just knew that through the Spirit, her brother Christ was speaking to her
asking her to come unto Him. I feel the love that Christ has for her so much
that it hurts and I just hurt so badly for her and the things that she has been
put through in her life. But there is SO much joy because I know that I can
share with her exactly what she needs. We talked of baptism and the Holy Ghost
last night and she said she just felt so much peace as we were praying about
those things together. Keep Angel in your prayers. We visit with her again on
Wednesday.
Sister Miner and Sister Hendrickson were knocking doors the
same time Sister Clark and I were that day and they met Rosie and Donald- the
cutest old Catholic couple who weren't very receptive at first but the second
the Sisters stepped into their home they just opened right up I guess!
Sister Miner went on a split last night to visit them and guess what? Donald
read the entire Book of Mormon since they had been there Wednesday! I always
hear of those things happening but never believe them! I get to meet them on
Wednesday and I'm so excited! So keep Rosie and Donald in your prayers too!
Especially Donald because his health hasn't been so great lately.
Brothers and Sisters, the Atonement is real. The love our
Savior has for us is truly infinite, I have the amazing blessing of feeling this
love that He has for each and every person I come across and it is
overwhelming. "I know that my Redeemer lives, what COMFORT this sweet
sentence gives." There is so much comfort, so much joy, so much
peace and so much hope in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This gospel is true.
Why are we not sharing it with every single person we come across every day?
Why would we not share it with those that we love? Share this knowledge and
love with everyone through your actions and through your testimony. Never be afraid
to share your testimony to others- it is something so powerful that the Lord
needs you to share.
I love all of you SO SO much and I feel your love and
support everyday.
Sister Haley Knight
P.S. I'm getting a lot of my hair cut off right now- don't
get mad dad- It'll grow back by the time I get back. Also we are going to have
a fierce of dodge ball and four square today! I'm so excited! pray that I don't
get hit in the head because that ALWAYS seems to happen!
