Help Wanted!



Hello!

Well Sister Reynders is feeling very "new" out here in the Mission field! ATTENTION: Calling all return missionaries to send me some ideas on how they found people to teach when they were serving. I could use some ideas so send them my way!
  
Honestly things are great! So Sis. LeDoux and I are serving in 2 wards here in the Liberty Lake Stake. The members here are amazing! Are the members this into missionary work everywhere? I don't think they are back home...or maybe I just wasn't paying attention.  The work would be a lot slower if the members were not so committed to doing missionary work - they are fantastic!  We don't have a ton of progressing investigators, but we are meeting with  *Sandra (*name has been changed do to privacy) tonight.  We might drop her if she doesn't truly want to change.
  
I have such a desire to do all the Lord wants us to do.  If there are changes we need to make in the area I want to do it. If there are certain places we need to be, or things we need to say, we want to do it! I just hope the Lord is happy with the work we are doing.  We are trying our best to align our will with His.  This week I want to focus more on planning more with the spirit and how I can incorporate divine revelation into our planning so we  feel confident that we are doing what the Lords wants.

So did I tell you last week we drove off a cliff....yeah...don't worry. I was the heroine and kept everyone calm. It was  raining and we had no cell phone coverage. We are good  but the car got a little messed up but that's a story for another time.

Did I tell you that I get freaked out sometimes walking and biking at night? It is ok though because it hastens my work! I want to be on lighted door steps talking with people because that's where I feel safe!...haha I am sure my companion thinks I am crazy because I am like, "Come on Sister! We have to knock this house!"  My companion: "What? What are you doing?" .....Me: "I think that cars following us!"

Elder Bugs Reynders is definitely going state side and I think Salt Lake City. (That's not a joke...I am dead serious!!) Today we are going winter clothes shopping because don't have the stuff to keep me warm. 

I love these verses I read this morn in Mormon 3.
 2 And it came to pass that the Lord did say unto me: Cry unto this people—Repent ye, and come unto me, and be ye baptized, and build up again my church, and ye shall be spared.
 3 And I did cry unto this people, but it was in vain; and they did not realize that it was the Lord that had spared them, and granted unto them a chance for repentance. And behold they did harden their hearts against the Lord their God.

The Lord has called me to declare repentance whether these people accept it or not. It is my responsibility to throw agency into the equation and give these people the "Chance" to repent.
Life is good! Hurrah For Israel!
-Sister Reynders
