Hello!
Hello!
How
is everyone?
I'm
doing great!
I
love it here in Farmington.
This
week we got 3 new investigators!
One
was a member referral, one was a former and the other we found knocking.
We
feel really good about all of them.
Thank
you to the Lord for guiding us to them!
I
just got back from a district activity.
My
arms are super sore from playing volley ball, but it's all good.
We
still had fun.
Let
me tell you who is in my district.
Sister
Aughenbaugh: She's from Hawaii.
Sister
Monefukai: I don't think I spelled her name right.
Sister
Hartley: Canadian.
Elder
Hart: His brother served in the San Fernando mission!
Elder
Smith: Plays the piano.
Elder
Dymov: He's from Russia.
Elder
Spencer: He's afraid of bugs.
Elder
Cormier: His name doesn't sound like it's spelled.
That's
it! They're awesome!
Our
ward here is great!
We've gotten 7 referrals, six of which were from members!

AND
they all have friends that they want to invite to have dinner with us.
We
just have to help the members actually invite the people.
How
cool is that?!
Let's
see, what else exciting happened this week?
-We
had three bees in our apartment. How they got there, we don't know.
Sister
Taylor killed one with a snow shovel.
-I
spilled ketchup and nacho cheese on my skirt at zone meeting.
Cute,
I know.
-We
accidentally got on the freeway to Lansing.
Don't
worry, we got off at the 1st exit.
I
think some other things have happened, but I can't really remember.
I
should probably write everything down so I can remember to tell you all.
I'm
so sorry I didn't give a scripture reading assignment!
I
TOTALLY FORGOT.
Oh
well, I'll give one this week :)
Here's
my favorite scripture for ya!

Nephi 26:24
24 He
doeth not aanything save it be for the benefit of the
world; for he bloveth the world, even that he layeth down his
own life that he may draw call men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth
none that they shall not partake of his salvation.
He
doeth not aanything save it be for the benefit of [Sister
Heywood]; for he bloveth [Sister Heywood], even that he layeth down
his own life that he may draw [Sister Heywood] unto him. Wherefore,
he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.
He
doeth not aanything save it be for the benefit of [your
name]; for he bloveth [your name], even that he layeth down
his own life that he may draw [your name] unto him. Wherefore, he
commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.
Cool
huh?
I
love that.
Now,
I want to extend an invitation to all of you.
Give
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints a chance.
Meet
with the missionaries.
I
promise you that you will find even more joy and happiness than you have
ever felt or than you can ever feel without this gospel.
http://mormon.org/missionaries
<--- Go to that website and request a visit from the missionaries. They will
be kind. They will be fun.
They
will not take away from anything you believe.
They
will only add to the truths you already know and hold dear to your heart.
Will
you do this please?
And
shoot me an e-mail if you do.
For
those of you who are already members,
I
invite you to invite.
Have
someone over for dinner.
Do
it.
It's
easy.
I
promise.
Practice
inviting someone if it really terrifies you.
I
know this church is true with all my heart.
It
is the one and only true church on the earth.
How
do I know this?
I
have read the Book of Mormon.
I
have prayed about the Book of Mormon and God told me it is true.
I have felt it in my heart.
I have felt it in my heart.
I'm
19 years old.
I could
be at school, living life, hanging out with friends, working, playing, having a
good time.
What
am I doing?
I'm
serving the Lord 24 hours.
I'm
not getting paid for it.
Why
am I doing this?
Because
I know this is true.
I
know this is the only way to eternal life (to live with God and be like God).
I
want to bring all of my brothers and sister home with me.
I
love you all!
Have a great week!
Love,
Sister
Heywood
