Monday: For
P-day we hung out as a district and played cards... So the Fardale Sisters came
up and that was super fun! After that we had Family Home Evening at the church
again and that was really great! :) Then we went to teach our baptismal
candidate! We just talked to her about her baptism again and she was all set to
go! :) And that was that!
Tuesday:
Well we woke up and got studies done then we got word that one of the sisters
in Fardale was super sick.. So our District meeting was delayed.. But after we
had that, we were able to go and teach the some kids we have been talking to. Their
Grandma is a member but they aren't so we have had some lessons with them.
Wellllll the two girls weren't home so we talked to the boy on the door step and
he was supposed to ask God if the Book Of Mormon was true and he told us that
he felt a REALLY calm feeling when he prayed! So we helped him recognize that
was the Spirit and then he was sooo excited! He was like "WOW! I got my
answer? That’s great!" It was great to see him! :) After that we saw our
baptismal candidate again... We talked to her about the Doctrine and Covenants
and such! That was good... Then for New Year’s Eve one of our investigators
Grandma invited us over! (our inv, wasn't even there! haha) So it was just this
lonely Grandma that wanted us over so that was great, we went there and we
talked and she fed us then we left to be home by 9! Then it was funny cause
Sister Legg and I had these big plans and we made brownies and we were going to
wake up at 11:57 and eat them and wait for the New Year... Well we still had to
be in bed at 10:30 so we were out... ha! The alarm went off on time and we looked
at each other and say "We are NOT getting up...Happy New Year..."
haha then went back to sleep. So I guess you could say we had a great New
Years! :)
Wednesday: We
found out this morning that the sick sister in Fardale was in the Hospital
because she had been throwing up all day.. :/ Not good... But we kept working.
We had the opportunity to see soo many people today! :) We saw a Head Quarter
Referral that wanted a Book Of Mormon and she didn't really want us to talk to
her... but we delivered it to her and then she just opened up to us! She was an
alcoholic for 30 years and she is now sober and we just told her that the Book
WILL change her life! So we will hopefully get to follow up on that! :) After
that, we saw a Less Active and that was good.... Then we went to see another
new Investigator who had been taught before. He seems like he really wants to
know so we will see how things go there! Then we were able to go pick up dinner
at a members! So sweet of her! :) And then we saw another Less Active and her
husband and they were really great! They were talking about going to the
temple! They have been coming to church quite a bit so that’s nice! :) Then we
were able to see another Less Active and it was interesting lesson because we
just let her talk. She pretty much shared her testimony with us and it was
amazing! We hope to work with that and get her back to church! :) Then last
one... we went to see our baptismal candidate again and we had a Family Home
Evening with her and her son and she LOVED it! :) She said she is going to
teach her son everything she knows now! It was sooo cute! :) She said she will
do that every Monday! I love seeing them come together!!! :)
Thursday:
Well it was supposed to be our walking day but they knew a big storm was coming
in on Friday so they said, go out today and don’t' drive Friday! So we did! We
didn't have any plans... but we were able to still see a lot of people! We saw
a member and then we went back to the house with the three kids and had a great
lesson with them! We talked to them more about prayer and we prayed with one of
the girls right there and she said that she felt that peaceful feeling too! So
now she knows it’s true! :) We committed them to be baptized on Feb. 16... What
a great day right Nicole? :) Oh yeah. They said yes! :) After that we went to
see another Head Quarter Referral and she said she wants to learn more so we said
we will be back! :) Then we went to see our baptismal candidate again and we
had a great lesson with her about what to expect for her baptism! :) She was
soo prepared! Then after we taught her son separate and that turned out really
good as well! So a busy day! :)
Friday: SNOW
DAY! (boring) I would rather work. But all is well... we actually got in our
studies, then we went to clean the church with the Kays (they drove us) and so
that was a great service! We cleaned the whole baptismal font! :) that was fun!
Then after we actually went with the Kays to the hospital because the sister
from Fardale was still there... :( So we went to visit her and keep her comp, entertained
because she had just been sitting there for the last couple days... :(
Then that was pretty much our day...
Saturday:
Welllll the Fardale Sisters actually had a baptism this morning with a kid that
I taught when I was there... So since they have been in the hospital all week
they didn't know what to do... but President said we could go on exchanges so the
other companion could go to the baptism! Soooo of course... I offered to go
with her (I probably would have thrown up at the hospital anyways...:/) but I
got to go back to Fardale and be there for that! It was sooo fun! It was like a
family reunion walking in the door and seeing everyone! I missed them sooo
much! :) I love them! The baptism went great!! :) It was cool to see this young
man get baptized. I only taught him a couple times but he finally decided to be
baptized! :) After that, we went back and we were able to exchange back and
Sister Legg and I went to dinner with a member... Macoronni Grill! Don't worry...
they have gluten free pasta WITH ALFREDO SAUCE!! It was the best! :) Then we
went to teach another former investigator and she and her son were super
interested and so that was good as well! :) Then we went to see our baptismal
candidate again and had one last lesson with her about the sacrament and her
baptismal covenant! It was great! :) Then we went on home!
Sunday:
Stressful little day! Baptisms seem to be that way... I just want everything to
go perfect! But all is well! :) She came to church in a beautiful dress and she
was sooo happy and excited! So we made it through church and finally after
church it was time! :) So we got her all changed, took pictures, and then
started the service. Sister Legg talked on Baptism, and we had a special
musical number with us missionaries "Teach me to Walk in The Light"
That was fun! :) Then after that she was baptized! :) She only had to do it
once! WAHOOO! And when she came out she started to cry... she felt like a
new person! :) It was such a cool experience! After that I talked on the Holy
Ghost... and I didn't even prepare it because of our crazy week... but the Holy
Ghost SURE helped me cause I just talked... ha! Then after she bore her
testimony and it was so tender! She knows she made the right choice! :) I love
her! Then that was that! She will receive the Holy Ghost next week! It was a
beautiful service! After that, we went to see the kids again and had another
great lesson about the Book of Mormon. Then we came home to study and then all
of a sudden the Zone Leaders called us and told us we need to go on another
exchange with the Fardale Sisters! So we packed up and went to see our new
convert again and she told us a cool story.. She said that in November she had
a dream that she was baptized by her grandfather in some river in Haiti... and
when she woke up she knew that she was ready to be baptized! That’s why she told
us she was ready! Well it turns out that just two weeks earlier, her son, had
been baptized for her grandfather in the temple! SOOOO How cool is that? She
was being worked on from both sides of the veil! So amazing! I am so proud of
her!! :) So after that we drove down to Hackensack, NJ and dropped off Sister
Legg and then I came up to Fardale and spent the night! Weird to think I am
back here... but just for the day! Transfers came and Sister Legg and I are
staying together another transfer in New City! I am happy and excited for what
this one has to bring! :)
I love this
gospel so much. I love seeing the happiness it brings other people! Witnessing
this is incredible! I am so blessed that the Lord chose me for a tool... I love
being the person in the middle and allowing the Spirit to work through me! :) I
know Heavenly Father Lives! I know Christ Suffered for us! And I KNOW the Book
of Mormon is the most amazing book we have! Ah. I just love everything.
Love you
all!
Sister Dahl!
