I'm getting transferred to Waycross, GEORGIA and I am training, so
that means I am also whitewashing the area once again! So great! Got
some adventures ahead. Going to go from the city to the country!
Should be great!
Today's letter is going to be short because I need to get some things done.
We had many miracles in our area this week, even though the first part
of the week was taken up with MLC and zone meeting, my last zone
meeting that I got to train at. Such a privileged. I had the
opportunity to do a training on Prayer!! It couldn't have asked for
anything better to train on for my last training as a Sister Training
Leader.....since my whole mission has revolved around learning about
prayer. It was so powerful. I would recommend that everyone read and
reread Elder Scotts address "The Supernal Gift of Pray" -April 2007
Conference
So I think I told you last week that Terry tried to drop us, but after
some spiritual nudges she didn't. We taught her this week one of the
BEST lessons Sister Blotter and i have ever taught together, because
it was all BY THE SPIRIT!!! It was incredible and full of so many
inspired questions, including the one Sister Craig helped us out with.
We taught Terry about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and focused most on
the Holy Ghost and having that after baptism and how the Holy Spirit
speaks to us, and that through church we can feel and know the Holy
Ghost....that is why our Church services are the way they are.
Note....Terry really likes the get up and sing praises, say AMEN, and
Hallelujah, playing the drums, etc....feeling more adrenaline then
actual spirit (this is why she has been struggling with coming to our
church). So anyways.....we had this beautiful lesson and as we were
talking about Church we shared that amazing question from Sister
Craig, "If the Savior were to come into a meeting, what would that
meeting feel like??" It was so powerful, the Spirit was so strong!!
And it didn't even take any encouragement on our part for her to have
a great desire to come to church this past sunday. She couldn't make
it because her friend was in the hospital, but she still has a great
desire to come and I know that The Lord is working on her and bringing
her closer and closer to being baptized! Its all in His timing (as
much as i wanted to be here to baptize her), its better that is not in
my timing.
Absolute miracle with this girl that came to church this past week.
She is incredible. She is 20 years old. The Sisters, Sister Anderson
and Johnson, found her last night and invited her to church and she
came. Then.....she got up and bore her "testimony"....she basically
told her story. She was raised by her mom who was Pagan and worshipped
Satan. She went through all different types of abuse and then moved
out with her boyfriend at 17, ended up doing something stupid and
ended up in jail for two years. She has been out of jail for over a
year now, but while she was in jail she came to know God and Jesus
Christ. She said that around 14 months, she had not been reaching out
to God or even trying to go to church while in jail, but one day it
was as clear as day and she said she will never be able to mistake the
fact that in his own way, specifically for her, he "came" to her. He
let her know that he was there and very aware of her and that is when
she started looking for Christ and a church. She has gone church
hopping for a while, trying to find a place where she could feel "at
home," where people wouldn't judge here. She has made a complete turn
around with her life and is so amazing! You should have felt the
spirit in the room! She has not had a "church home" for over a month
and has been praying to be lead in the right direction and then the
Sister knocked on her door last night and it was a sign. She is
incredible and hopes to make this her permanent church home!!! How
amazing is that! Miracles happen everyday!! :-)
Ok. So there is so much more that I could tell you about this week,
but time is running short today, so I will just send some pictures and
then next week i will tell ya'll about the wonderful adventures I will
have already had in Waycross, GA with my greenie :-)
Love ya'll so much! You are so great!
Have a wonderful week!
Love
Sister Heckel
"With God all things are possible!!"
