Week #7

HELLO!!! Family and Friends,

I want to start this email off with a miracle that Sister Martin and I had. Our investigator Lisa came to church for the first time yesterday. Thank you to those of you who have kept her in your prayers. After the sacrament Lisa had so many question's. One of them being why we partake of bread and water. We explained to her the importance of the sacrament and why we partake of it every week. Lisa not knowing very much said that she could feel the love that Jesus Christ had for her. She had the biggest smile on her face. It is so amazing to see how the Gospel really does bring happiness and joy into peoples lives. Lisa enjoyed the rest of church and also let us know that she thought that relief society was a social hour. We chuckled with her and told her that the sisters don't always comment that much. As we walked Lisa to her car she began to cry! With tears in her eyes she asked us, "How is it that you just met me, but I feel like you really do love me." We told her it's because we do love her, but it is through our Savior Jesus Christ example that we are able to love her to the fullest. She gave us a hug and said that she was excited to get baptized and would be attending church with us for the rest of her life. I couldn't even believe what she was saying. I know that the spirit was the one who did all the hard work! Man am I grateful that our Heavenly Father gave us someone who will always testify of the truth.

We also got some exciting news last week! We get to wear pants now to protect us from them bugs down here. I am so grateful that the brotheren have allowed us to wear pants. My companion the other day had 15 Mosquito bites and she did put on bug spray.

I don't have too much time today but I want to bear my testimony that I know that the church is true. One thing that has been a huge blessing on my mission is the Book of Mormon. I know that it is the word of god and that the Prophet Joseph Smith is a prophet of god. There is no way that he being as young as he was, could have written such a profound book, but through god he was able to translate it so that we could have it today. It is the Keystone to our religion and can answer any questions that you might have. I love this gospel, I love my Savior and I LOVE BEING HIS MISSIONARY!!

Love,

Sister Kenzie Graham
