Hey everyone!
Yesterday we finished up our time in quarantine and we were able to leave our apartment!!! It was so nice to get out! Being stuck inside was tough but we were so blessed because we were able to put 3 people on date for baptism throughout the week!! Woohoo!
One of them we actually just met yesterday. We got a phone call from a member saying that he had a friend that was interested in learning about the gospel. We went right over and met the most incredible and strong person ever, Shannon. She has been through so many tough things in her life and is just ready to find peace. The member who called us said, "You ladies talk and I'll go make you some cookies". We taught Shannon about the Restoration and I felt the spirit SO STRONGLY as I recited the First Vision to her. It was amazing. After we finished the lesson, the member wasn't back yet so we just started teaching the Plan of Salvation lesson and we also ended up teaching her the Gospel of Jesus Christ lesson too because she was super interested. She told us that she wants to be baptized so we set her date for September 5th! Unfortunately we have to pass her off to other missionaries because she isn't in our area, but I am so grateful that I was able to meet her. Her faith and strength are inspiring and it was definitely a miracle that we were able to teach her.
I know that the Spirit guides us as missionaries and that this is the Lord's work. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!! I love the gospel! I know it's true.
Last night we had a fun photoshoot with some other missionaries because we were getting pictures of missionaries to put as the cover photos of the mission Facebook pages. It was so fun to hang out with the other missionaries and to be at the Red Rocks park for the pictures.
We also had dinner with some awesome members last night and it's like 3 generations of the family living together. All of the men in the family are named Gary so it's really funny because they all have numbers. So you have to specify if you're talking to Gary 1, Gary 2, or Gary 3 haha.
For P-day, Sister Smith and I went hiking at the Red Rocks park and it was so beautiful!!
Love you all!
Love, Hermana Megan Young
