Friends and Family :-)
In the last 14 days Sister Jackson and I had the opportunity to travel the world. ☺️Meaning, we met people from the following places:
- China -France
- Russia -Cameroon
- South Korea -Iran
- Thailand -Germany
- Mexico -Peru
- Brazil -Turkey
- Puerto Rico -Taiwan
- Malaysia -Japan
- Chile -Ghana
- Canada
Its incredible that no matter where an individual is from, God STILL loves them with a perfect love.
Speaking of that, Sister Jackson and I talked to a college student named Ch about a month ago on the bus who is from China and doesn't really know who God is besides "going to church with my American friend". We briefly explained the Plan of Salvation and he asked if he could keep the Plan of Salvation pamphlet. Well, he set up a time to meet with us last week and I had the opportunity to teach Ch with Sister Taylor (we were on Exchanges). It was the most sacred experience to teach and testify of the Godhead to Ch while he tried to express himself through his broken English. God really does love His children.
Last week we were walking down the streets of Columbus when basically, we contacted this guys dog Boo. (because it was the cutest and fattest bulldog I've EVER seen). As we started to share our message with M, the dog owner, Boo ran into the bar we stood outside and M ran in chasing after Boo. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. But we did get to briefly teach the restoration to M and set up a time. He said his belief in God was a question mark right now but then said, "Maybe it takes two random girls on the side of street to guide me to an answer." We are excited and pray to help him develop a relationship with God starting this week.
We had the opportunity to go to another baptism and C came too. Randomly Sister Jackson and I got asked to sing "How Great Thou Art" which then led us getting ask literally 30 seconds before sacrament meeting the next day to sing it as a prelude for the YSA ward. How thankful I am, not only for the talent God has given me but helping me learn to love and be confident in the talent He gave me so that I may help others to Christ through it.
Yesterday, the tornado warning sirens were going off, the roads were flooded, the wind was blowing and all OSU missionaries were in the Van traveling home from a missionary fireside. So President had all us sisters go to one apartment and the Elders had to take cover in a local Kroger. Luckily, we were all save and the tornado did not touch ground but it was crazy.
A few weeks ago I shared that we will be better acquainted with the Savior as we get to know Him and experience things He has experienced. As I pondered this I realized that, it is important for us individually learn to recognize the Savior. The Savior knows you with a perfect knowledge. He understands your strengths and weaknesses. When you meet again, He will recognize you but I ask you: will you recognize Him? My prayer is that each day each of us will take steps to learn who the Savior is and what He did. So that when the glorious day of reunion happens, we can see the Savior, fall to His feet and proclaim with humble hearts full of gratitude: "My Redeemer, My Savior, My Brother." He lives and we need to strive daily to live for Him. I so testify in the Sacred name of Jesus the Christ, amen. Until next Wednesday, I love you all! ❤
