This week has been AWESOME! really busy as always, lots of good things happened this week.
We went on exchanges and i got to be with (LOUD) Sister Knight. I've been with both Sister Knights out here the last 7 months. Sister Anderson and i were able to do service this week and walk lots.
The weather is really humid here and it's getting Super hot. Right now it's 90deg and it's only 10 am in the morning, add on 70% humility, it's uncomfortable to say the least.
We have interviews this week here in Joplin and i went on exchanges with the Sisters.. Sister Anderson forgot her overnight bag and had to go without her stuff for 2 days. I felt bad but she was a trooper... Sister Knight and i just had way to much fun. We had a member Call our Recent Convert who got baptized while we were companions in Nixa for 2 weeks and we went to dinner with him. It is always a Party with Mike. He got baptized in January when i was fresh out, but it was so good to have two originals back he said. I'll attach some photos below of how much fun we really have when all three of us are together.
Sister Knight and i had an awesome experience this week that really helped me hear and listen to the Voice of the Spirit. I had a prompting to go visit Becky who is getting baptized on the 9th of June. So we get there and she's not home. I thought in my head, why was i pulled to be here? So i tried knocking the doors around her apartment. No one was interested.. so we then decided to leave.. As we were heading to go see another person i see this man on the side of the road walking.. I get this STRONG promoting that i needed to Give him a picture of the Savior so i grabbed a picture but wasn't going to pull over. The prompting again came, a lot stronger and more clear so i new it was coming from the Spirit. I looked at sister knight and said i have to pull over, so i did and i waited for this man to catch up to the car, i rolled the window down and said "sir? he looked at me confused and not sure what i was about to say. I then introduced myself and told him who we were and our purpose. He began to get teary eyed.. He had met with missionaries 19 years ago but stopped because he got scared and Satan got to him. I gave him a beautiful picture of the savior, gave him a copy of the Book of Mormon and then answered any questions he had. We made a return appointment to go teach him this upcoming Thursday. I just had to give thanks that night for that prompting i received and for the ability to recognize the Still Small Voice of the Sweet and tender voice of the Spirit. I know that Jim( the man on the side of the road) is fully prepared and that the savior has given him another chance. I cant even begin to tell you how awful i would have felt if i drove away from him.
I am thankful for many chances and the merits and mercy of the Savior. He never gives up on us, no matter what we do or no matter what we don't do. I know that through is atonement we can be made clean and pure so that we can daily progress towards our end goal which is eternal life with our families.
I love you all so much. Thank you for your love and Endless support.
Thank you to all of those that have Served for our country and for sacrificing your life for our freedom.
Have an awesome Memorial Weekend
LOVE Sister Gilmour
