Fam and
Friends!
Hey everyone!
Well, I'm staying in Santa Barbara!! I'm staying with Sister Ashworth.. BUT
we're getting a new companion. We're Tri-Pan training.. I'm super excited! It's
definitely going to be a different experience.. teaching with TWO companions
and doing everything with one more missionary. It will be fun :) I don't know
if she's going to be able to handle both Sister Ashworth and I .. we're
hooligans.
Anyway, this
week was great!! Sister Ashworth's birthday is on Friday, So we had the opportunity
to go to the LA temple…it was incredible. (I will attach photos) I missed it so
much.. It was really refreshing and especially helped me remember the
importance of my covenants. It was definitely different because I feel more in
tune spiritually as a missionary and my relationship with God is so much deeper
now… It was an unforgettable experience.
We met with
Ben and Natalie yesterday... Unfortunately, it didn't go so well. Because of
some cultural differences and some other issues they are having, we will be
postponing their baptism, but please, please keep them in your prayers! They
are so special to us.
I've been
thinking a lot about all that I have learned this transfer... I think I've
grown the most these past seven weeks. I'm learning what it really means to put
these investigators before myself and fulfill my purpose as a missionary in
doing all that I can to help them come unto Christ. I have a sure testimony
that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. He blesses us in times of
confusion and in those times when we need direction. He knows his children so
perfectly and truly wants us to have joy in this life. I've also been thinking
about TIME and how fast it flies!! .. :) It just shows how short our life is
here on this earth.. we have to make the most of it and realize what matters
most in the eternal perspective. I love this work and I love my savior Jesus
Christ!!
LoveSister James
