This week has been great! (of course, I'm a missionary for the true church, how could it not be?).
On Monday and Tuesday we knocked on some doors and I got to say goodbye to some of my favorite people from good old Orem. I'm going to miss that place, but I know Heavenly Father moved me to Bluffdale for a reason! On Wednesday we had transfers, and I became companions with the magnificent Sister Black! Sister Black came out a transfer before me, and we actually followed each other on instagram, what a funny coincidence! I think we both knew we'd someday be companions! She is from Colorado and the sweetest person I've ever met. (Well maybe not ever, but she's definitely up there.) We have such an incredible area. There are so many people to teach and who are ready to hear our message!
We have someone getting baptized on September 23; Tayllor. She's 18 and super sweet and quiet. But very excited to be baptized!
We are also teaching Wenchao. He is from China and for some reason goes by Tom. I'm not sure what to call him haha! He is awesome and wants to learn more about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We invited him to be baptized last night and he said yes!
We are also teaching 3 9 year old children, who all want to be baptized. Hopefully one or two of them will be able to be baptized this transfer, but we know it's all on the Lord's time!
We have had a lot of rejections here.. But I know it just comes with being a missionary! The wonderful thing is, even though we've had doors slammed in our face and people yell at us, we still see so many miracles! The other day we were knocking a bunch of doors in this giant apartment complex, and someone answered, invited us in and said "I've been praying for someone to show up and help me. My daughter wants to get baptized and I think I want to come back to church." How can there not be a loving Heavenly Father who listens and answers our prayers!? I know Heavenly Father truly knows each and every one of us! When He and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith, He didn't say "Hello human, " He called him by name and said "Joseph, this is My beloved Son. Hear Him." He knows and loves us! I know this to be true!
As for the oldest man in Bluffdale.. He also happens to be super wealthy and has a bowling alley in his house, that he let the missionaries use today for their district activity today. (AKA us). It was pretty awesome. Pictures will be attatched!
I love you all, have a wonderful week!
Love, Sister Crofts
