| New Companions: Sister Cammack and Hermana Farnsworth |
Hello again!
This has been one of the craziest
weeks of my life but it has definitely been such a great one! Here are the
highlights:
- We were supposed to have transfers
on Thursday- but we get a text super super early Thursday morning saying that
transfers are cancelled due to bad weather that day. Then about an hour later
we get another text saying that the fleet is grounded so we couldn’t use our
car.... Since all of the jail sisters don’t live in their area- we get to get
pretty creative! It ended up being an amazing day! In the morning time we
cleaned the downstairs of the building because we are getting new computers
this week! It is really exciting! Then in the afternoon the assistants brought
in all of the new missionaries and we were able to do role plays with them and
give them some trainings on being a missionary. It was a really special time
and I am so grateful for the chance I had to be able to meet and help some of
the new missionaries

- We had transfers Friday morning!
Sister Gudgeon went to Liberty 1st ward and I got Hermana Farnsworth! She is
amazing! She has been out on the mission a little longer than me and has served
at the jail before, so we hit the ground running! There has been so much to do
these past few days, but we have seen so many miracles!

2nd to last night as companions - Sister Cammack and Sister Gudgeon
- We had a super awesome lesson this week! We taught the restoration and the spirit was so strong. it was such a special experience!
- We seriously took the coolest tour the other day. So we get onto shift and there is a tour in the rotunda. We go in to take it and find out that it is some nonmembers, but they had a really strong faith in Christ and God and in following the commandments. So we talked about that a lot and we were really able to connect with them. The spirit was there once again and at the end of the tour we gave them Book of Mormons and they said they wanted to come back. It was such a cool miracle!
I have been thinking a lot about the
Spirit, and how important its role is in our lives. I was reading out of Preach
my Gospel this morning and there was a whole paragraph listing things that the
Spirit can do for us. For example, he has a cleansing effect, he testifies of
Christ, helps us recognize truth, he provides spiritual strength, he can warn
us and he provides the power by which we teach and learn. The paragraph goes on
to say that the gift of the Holy Ghost is one of our Heavenly Father's most
precious gifts. I think we can really see that from the things listed above,
but especially from the fact that he provides the power by which we teach and
learn. We are here on earth to learn and grow and then help others do the same.
We cannot do this without having the Spirit with us. That then puts forth the
challenge of us needing to always live worthy of having the Spirit in our
lives. I would like to invite you all to ponder this week on something you
could do better to invite the Spirit more fully into your life. I know that as
we all do this we will be able to be stronger teachers and learners and we will
feel the blessings that come from the Spirit.
I love you all and I hope that you
have a great week!
Sister Cammack
