We went on exchanges this week and I went to Conyers with Sister Moon. She is still in her training and so we decided to do a lot of finding. On Friday night we looked at some people that were taught in the passed who aren't learning any more and visited some. One lady let us right in! She told us that she hasn't seen sisters in a long time come over. She was so nice and told us that they are 7th day Adventists members, Well Friday night is when their Sabbath starts off. She invited us to stay while they kick off the sabbath and it was pretty interesting! Her two kids came and we all prayed and then sang some songs! They taught us a sone about Jesus's love and it was pretty cool. Then lastly they had time to go around and share their testimonies from the week. She told us that she would like for us to come back over and share a message! I am not in Conyers but the other sister missionaries are planning on going back over to visit.
This coming Sunday is Sonjas baptism and we are so excited! Our friend Khalia is also getting baptized! Recently our ward just had a change of boundaries and she is now in the Conyers ward. So we passed her off to the Conyers sisters 2 weeks ago and she is now getting baptized on Saturday! We are super excited to go and support her too!
On Thursday we had a quarterly meeting with the stake and all of the missionaries and members that attend missionary coordination counsel in the wards. This is my third time going to one...that will tell you how long I have been in the Conyers Stake/Zone lol! We got up and talked about missionary work and social media and how we can get members more involved. Not going to lie, I liked these meetings a lot more when I just had to show up haha!
On Sunday a lady in the ward gave a talk and it was really good. She talked about how absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of God besides our own agency. She told us how for work she has to drive through Atlanta and it's terrible (fun fact: GA drivers are wild), she continued to say how there are so many worldly things that go on in our lives but how she tries to make a safe bubble. Driving to work she CHOOSES to listen to talks or uplifting music because even though there is so much going around her, she knows that she still has access to the spirit and the Saviors love. I love that she shared that because we too must choose what we do. There are so many distractions in the world but we can always create a safe bubble for the spirit to be with us! We must get rid of the "clutter" or distractions and remember what is most important!
