Well, this week can be summed up in two words: "sick" and
"iPads." Haha last Monday evening I started feeling pretty sick and
then I spent most of the rest of the week in bed. The monotony was
broken up only a few times, one of which was to attend a meeting where
all of us missionaries got iPads. Missionary work is changing in very
good ways and it's amazing to be a part of it! We taught a lesson a
few days ago to our investigator and it was amazing to be able to
utilize so many gospel tools. We are told that the internet and
technology were invented FOR missionary work, and here we are using it
to its fullest capacity right now. This is super exciting!
Another exciting lesson happened with a member of our branch
and her family history. She and I were working on familysearch.org to
find her grandparents, and miraculously we found her grandma. When we
made the connection, it filled in an entire family line that needs to
have their temple work done and it can now be done because we found
them! That was incredible to be a part of that salvation work for her
family who has already passed away. This work is so real and it is so
much bigger than we can see with our eyes!
It was a tough week to be stuck inside for so long (my poor
companion!), but The Lord continued to move his work forward and we
were blessed to be instruments in His hands. I love you all and I hope
that everyone is healthy and doing well! As for me, I am getting
better and I am learning even more that The Lord is in charge and this
is His missionary work- I just need to show up to the party willing to
work :)
Love, Sister Amber Ricks
