Hello!!!!!!!!!
Well things are bright and happy
today on Temple Square! Things have kind of picked up this weekend...too bad my
p-days on Fridays!
Last week we got to go to the
broadcast of the Brigham City Temple dedication. HOSANNA! It was great! I
loved hearing from the special witnesses of Christ. They were powerful!
Where 2 or 3 are gathered there shall he be in the midst of them! We also
got a tour underground and behind the Organ in the tabernacle and in the
Conference Center which was awesome as well!
This week we had a special meeting
with Ruth Todd who is the head of Public Relations for the church. She talked
to us about being the " Face of the Church". She spoke with us about looking our best and
being nice....which is kind of interesting because I thought that coming to
Temple square we would get lectured and told about this all the time but this
really was the first time thus far. Anyways it was good.
So besides all these fun things (Oh,
also! We get to go to the RS broadcast tomorrow for which I am very excited!)
The Missionary work is going great! My favorite is just being on the square and
taking tour after tour. It is so great to preach the gospel. This week it has
been so fun because we have gotten so many people with GREAT questions! From where I serve in the field it seems like people that come to Temple Square are in
a famine and our message is like savory homemade bread! Honestly what
we have to be careful of is teaching (feeding) too much, that their stomachs
are full and they don't seek out the missionaries in their local area. That is
why the timing at which we invite is vital.
Once again I have to say I am going
to miss teaching Brazilians when Sister Sagari is no longer my companion! I
love Brazilian people and I really, really, really want to go visit Brazil someday!...Hopefully relatively soon! honey
moon? These people make me feel at home, and I think they create a great environment
for the spirit to dwell. We took an awesome Brazilian family around yesterday and
probably spent more time with them then we should have but I felt like they
needed it and we needed it!
This week Michael L. is getting
baptized. It has been a long journey for him! We have been teaching him for 6
months, but this last week when we called him on the phone he bore the sweetest
testimony. I cried on the other
end...but good thing I can play it off, because he can't see my tears through a
phone. He wants to be baptized so bad and truly has an understanding that this
is just the beginning on his path of discipleship. He is great.
Well I am going to go know. I would
appreciate it if you all could keep me in your
prayers - thanks.
Love you later.
Hurrah for Israel!
Sister Reynders
