Hello my beloved family!
I haven't much time today and big things are happening around this country and
the entire mission, but I will enlighten you all as to the land where I will
live out my dying days and with whom...Lujubljana, Šiška WITH.....SISTER CROSBY
:) I am thrilled. Completely. So happy!
Our investigators are doing well! We had 4 at church yesterday and they all stayed for all three hours which
is honestly miraculous. One is getting baptized towards the end of this month
and we are really excited for all the others.A few are difficult to
teach because all Balkans loves to talk. But it's okay! One mentioned to
the Elders on Sunday that he already feels like a member of the branch . So that is wonderful! One chose to fast and said that she
could really feel the Lord strengthening her and that she was more in tune to the
spirit. So awesome!
This has certainly been a week of little miracles and seing
the Lord's hand and we have loved it! We had a really great experience last
night teaching a younger woman who we had found on the street a few weeks back. We were able to take her on a quick tour of the church here in
Ljubljana and when we went into the chapel, the spirit was so so strong. She
explained her feelings to us as just "very very peaceful." So neat!
As we sat together downstairs and shared with her the beautiful message of the
restoration of the Jesus Christ's gospel the spirit was once again very very
strong. We focused on our divine identity and nature as daughters of Heavenly
Father. It was so beautiful. It was so neat to see the spirit touch her and
testify to her spirit of the love that God has for her as his beloved
daughter.
It was also a tough week in some ways and I often had the
scripture from the New Testament running through my head which says, "And
they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were
counted worthy to suffer shame for his (Jesus Christ) name." But I know
that as we choose to be faithful through the fire as well as the calm, the Lord
is able to work miracles before us. We definitely saw miracles before us this
week.
I know that God lives and that he truly is our father. I
know that he loves us and he wants us to feel his love. I know that Jesus
Christ is my savior and to me he is the greatest sign of God's love for us. My
initial reaction may not be to "rejoice that I am counted worthy to suffer
shame," but I am working on it! I truly do rejoice in the great
opportunity to serve God and Jesus Christ and to see God's children come to
know him. Let the knowledge of your true identity as a son or daughter of God
change you. I promise that it can and will if you will let Him show you the
great love which he has for you.
Love, Sestra Brown
