Big news! I'm finally leaving
Congleton... mixed emotions. I will really miss it! The Congleton ward will
always have a special place in my heart. I bore my testimony in church
yesterday and cried my eyes out! Oh it was so hard to say goodbye!
Where am I going you ask? To
WALES! I will be serving in Rhyl with Sister Campbell from Canada. She is a
great missionary, and I am excited for this next chapter of my mission!
I have loved every minute
serving with Sister Tolman. She is one of my closest friends and I know that
Heavenly Father put us together at the right time in our lives
We had a breakthrough with Paul
this week. I was prompted to share Jeffrey R Hollands talk "like a broken
vessel" with him, and we watched it together at the Moss' home. The spirit
was really strong, and Paul was filled with a new desire and motivation and
committed to give up the things holding him back! He is working towards being baptised on the 7th of
June!
Claire and Natasha are
progressing very well. I just love them so much! Claire is just a sponge and
soaks up everything! She came to the missionary fireside with us and loved
every minute of it! She even said she would like to get up and speak there
after she is baptised!
I went on exchange in Wrekin
with Sister Hansen. Sister Hansen was the first sister I ever went on exchange
with, and it was nice to be with her again. We gave a chapel tour to a couple
of their investigators, and it was a great experience. When we were in the
chapel, i know that they felt the spirit. That experience really helped me to
see how chapel tours can make a big difference in the progression of
investigators. It helps them to feel more comfortable when they do come to
church.
We taught Sascha on friday
night, and it was the best lesson we've had with her. The spirit was so strong,
and we all got a bit emotional with the thought of it possibly being the last
time we taught her. We talked about baptism, and Sascha told us that she
really wants to be baptised... it's just her parents that wont let her. We
reassured her that God understands her situation and knows the desire of her
heart and she will be blessed for her obedience. I just love her... I have no
doubt that when the time is right she will be baptised.
We had tea at the Windsors
house saturday night and it was so great. The girls made us thankyou cards and
bracelets and it was so sweet! It is such a great feeling knowing that you've
made a difference in someone's life. I am so grateful for the privilege and
blessing it has been to teach them and help them make covenants with God.
My heart is full. Sometimes I
don't feel worthy of the many blessings Heavenly Father has given and continues
to give to me. It is truly wonderful.
Thanks for your support.
Pray for opportunities to share the joy that you have with
others.
xoxo Sister Riley.
