So this week feels like it has been two weeks jam-packed into one. We had Zone meeting, then President interviews, and then District meeting all this week. We also had our trade-offs with our Sister Training Leaders. We also have been given a HUGE challenge for Facebook.
So our mission is hosting a HUGE Facebook even that I have invited you to join. It will happen tomorrow and will be the first of four events that simply involve changing your profile picture on Facebook. I need you to invite everyone on your friends list to attend. Spread the word through the ward and at work. Tell everyone to look up the discover the book Facebook event page and join it. All of the information for the event is on that page in the event info section. It has the potential to reach millions of people all over the world. We need as much support as we can get. We have a few Mormon celebrities joining us (like Alex Boye). I messaged LDS Living magazine and they said that they would love to help get the word out about this event. We basically have decided that we are going to use the resources that the Lord has given us to reach everyone in the world. This will help with that. There is a prophecy that was given by Ezra Taft Benson it states:
"I have a vision of homes alerted, of classes alive, and of pulpits aflame with the spirit of Book of Mormon messages.
I have a vision of home teachers and visiting teachers, ward and branch officers, and stake and mission leaders counseling our people out of the most correct of any book on earth--the Book of Mormon. I have a vision of artists putting into film, drama, literature, music, and paintings great themes and great characters from the Book of Mormon.
I have a vision of thousands of missionaries going into the mission field with hundreds of passages memorized from the Book of Mormon so that they might feed the needs of a spiritually famished world.I have a vision of the whole Church getting nearer to God by abiding by the precepts of the Book of Mormon. Indeed, I have a vision of flooding the earth with the Book of Mormon."
(Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon) Ezra Taft Benson October 1988
This is part of fulfilling that prophecy. Please get everyone you can on board. This is very inspired and very simple. We need your (you and Dad) help. This is how we are going to flood the world with the Book of Mormon.
So this week has been pretty good. We have been trying to find people like always. We actually had a miracle with our Bishop's wife. We went on splits with her and the investigator that we were going to see wasn't home, so we went to see some of the elderly sisters in our ward. At the last sister's house we met her home health nurse. We had a great gospel discussion that was started by our bishop's wife! It was amazing, she just started to talked about the gospel. She introduced us and the Book of Mormon. We ended up setting a return appointment through facebook, because she lives just outside of our area. It was truly a miracle.
Tuesday we get to go and help out again with Habitat for Humanity. We finally got Mormon Helping Hands shirts, so it will be good "publicity" for the church. It will also be fun to just do service as a district. There are quite a few people leaving this next transfer and I will really miss them. It will be nice to have one last big service project to do with them.
President's interviews were just what I needed this week. He helped me realize that I am doing okay. He also helped me to understand more about the enabling power of the atonement. It really helped me to see that I can do this because my Savior will give me strength.
Anyway, I love you so much! Keep staying strong!
Lots of love,
Sister Williams
