THE FIELD DEF IS WHITE ! [07.13.09]


there is SO much work to be done yet in WISCONSIN ! the field def is white and ready to harvest !

Doctrine and Covenants 4:4
"For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul"

Alma 26:4-8
"Behold, thousands of them do rejoice, and have been brought into the fold of God."
"Behold, the field was ripe, and blessed are ye, for ye did thrust in the sickle, and did reap with your might, yea, all the day long did ye labor; and behold the number of your sheaves! And they shall be gathered into the garners, that they are not wasted."
"Yea, they shall not be beaten down by the storm at the last day; yea, neither shall they be harrowed up by the whirlwinds; but when the storm cometh they shall be gathered together in their place, that the storm cannot penetrate to them; yea, neither shall they be driven with fierce winds whithersoever the enemy listeth to carry them."
"But behold, they are in the hands of the Lord of the harvest, and they are his; and he will raise them up at the last day."
"Blessed be the name of our God; let us sing to his praise, yea, let us give thanks to his holy name, for he doth work righteousness forever."

we had a wonderful week full of teaching the word of God ! the experiences are amazing .. feeling the spirit so strong is beautiful .. i truly love this work !

* FHE = lots of YSA running around ! we had a lesson centered on FREEDOM .. anything we were grateful for about freedom ! i know i am grateful to have the freedom to worship my Heavenly Father as i may ! what a blessing !

* DISTRICT MEETING + INTERVIEWS with PRESIDENT BARRETT & SISTER BARRETT = THE BEST !
district meeting was full of good training from our DL e. dunn but i kept going in and out for interviews ! this was my first time having s.barrett come with pres.b for interviews and she interviewed us too ! i LOVED it ! pres.b strengthens my faith and energy each time i talk with him ! i love that man !

* YSA FIRESIDE .. key speakers = PRESIDENT & SISTER BARRETT ! wednesday night there was a special YSA fireside from the Barretts .. it was an open forum of Q&A and they had 3 YSA recent converts [alex, dan, jeremiah] bear their testimonies and it was amazing ! i love being a part of their lives and seeing their eyes light up with the restored gospel of Jesus Christ !


* FREE LEMONADE ! we tried a finding technique down by UWO .. we had a free lemonade stand ! it was fun ! we worked with the oshkosh elders and had some success ! some people yelled things at us .. some people actually wanted free lemonade .. and some people talked with us ! it was fun and now we know how and what to do to make it better !

* FRIDAY = lots of fun .. we were teaching all day basically ! lots of unplanned opprotunities came about for us to share the message of the restoration ! the Lord works miracles according to our faith .. thats for sure !


* SATURDAY = MOVING DAY ! in the morning we went to the Appleton Farmers Market .. SO COOL ! [reminds me of the monrov and our little farmers market there ! we also got honey sticks just to make it feel like back home for me :)] we talked to a flower lady who asked where we were from and she told us her niece and nephew were in utah trying to convert people to their church but it wasnt going so well ! after the market we PACKED AND PACKED ! we had a couple brethren from the APL 2nd Ward to come and help us move out to DARBOY [south appleton area] we got it done surprisingly fast .. the only prob was we didnt have BEDS ! haha the office elders came up from milwaukee to bring us 2 twin beds ! thank you OE's ! we got settled in our new room which is a little less spacious then our last but it works ! we still live with a member ! we live with ROSE THIEL .. the THIELS sister in law ! love family !

* SUNDAY = missionary time ! sister johnson and i planned a sweet combined sunday school lesson for all our YSA about MISSIONARY WORK ! the spirit was SO strong and they loved it ! motivation is key ! i also gave a talk on following the savior in sacrament .. its crazy how i do not get nervous anymore to stand up and talk in front of people ! its a huge improvement ! i love being a misisonary !

this week is gonna be good .. lots of work to look forward too ! I LOVE WISCONSIN .. SO MUCH !

I LOVE YOU !
