Dear family and friends,
Hi hi hi! Shout out to Mom and Dad for their letters this week - thank you so much! I always love getting mail...*hint hint wink wink nod nod*
Haha but hello! This week was SO GOOD. All weeks are good, but this week was especially good! You know why?
Because Sis. Naqia and I are teaching the most elect young woman EVER named Holly. I talked about her last time, and she still does not fail to amaze me!
This week we taught her the Plan of Salvation and she kept tearing up and said, "This just feels right!" We taught her again after church and she said she just loved it. She said, "I don't know why, but this already feels like home!"
You all would LOVE her. She is so excited for her baptismal date on October 18th and is progressing perfectly :) She told us that she was feeling sad on Saturday, but the things we've been teaching her just helped. She knew that the sadness would go away and she prayed and it did!
I know that God does answer prayers and that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints truly is Christ's church restored on the Earth through a prophet. I also know we have a prophet today, Thomas S. Monson, and that he receives revelation directly from Christ and Heavenly Father for what we need to do to come back to Them again.
Isn't just amazing we have a prophet? I am stoked for the General Woman's Broadcast this weekend! For all you ladies 8 and up, GO! Listen to the prophet and have a question in your mind that you need an answer to, and I promise that God will answer it through one of the talks!
Also, General Conference is coming up in a couple of weekends - GO! Or watch it online or on BYUtv. It is SO worth it. They speak for the benefit of the whole world, and you are a part of this world, so General Conference is meant for you! :)
Anyway...for the rest of this week haha:
We set a date with Thierno for October 25th, and with Dennis for November 8th. Dennis didn't come to church yesterday, though! He had too much studying to do since it is his last semester of school before he graduates. Gah! Agency. I was kind of annoyed but then Sis. Naqia said, "You know Sister Decker, we all have the gift of agency." Haha she has such a good attitude.
It's a great feeling to trust and love each and every missionary in this zone. Sis. Naqia has also helped me to feel more love for others.
You know what else we did? We went to the temple!! Yay!!! It made me so so happy. It was JUST the boost I needed. I love the temple so much. I am so grateful for the temple and know it is the house of the Lord. For anyone who is not worthy or who is not a member of this church and cannot enter the temple, I invite all of you to repent and be baptized so you may receive the blessings in the temple :) I know this is God's true church on the Earth once again.
Well, that's all I can think of for this week! I love you all and hope you know how much God loves you :)
Love,
Sister Kolee Decker
