Dear Friends and Family,
Another wonderful week in Searcy! We are
seeing so many miracles everyday it is awesome! And the weather this
week has been beautiful! Missionary work is always more pleasant when
the weather is perfect. Since I arrived in Searcy we have been working
with this girl named Tiffany. This week as we were discussing what we
should teach her I felt impressed that we should talk about
testimonies and invite everyone to bear their testimony at the end of
the lesson including Tiffany. Now this is what you need to know about
Tiffany, she hates being put on the spot. She is really uncomfortable
answering questions and refuses to pray in our lessons so Sister
Mathison and I were a little worried about how she would respond to
being asked to bear her testimony. But we felt like it was what we
needed to do so we went forward with preparing the lesson. The lesson
went super well. We talked about how a testimony is really just a simple
statement of what you believe or know to be true. It doesn't have to be
eloquent or long if fact some of the most powerful testimonies found in
the scriptures are small and simple. My favorite example is Peter's
firm testimony of the diving of Christ found in Mathew 16:16. We came to
the end of the lesson and we had everyone write down their testimony on
a piece of paper and then we asked if everyone would share a part of
their testimony. And Tiffany totally participated and share a short but
powerful testimony that she knew God lived and loved her. It was
AMAZING!! Since then she has started progressing even more. It is a
miracle.
I'm so grateful for my own testimony which has grown so
much stronger as I've been serving a mission. I am also so grateful for
the testimonies of others which help to strengthen my own. I hope that
everyone has a wonderful week and as always thank you for all that you
do!
Love
Sister Aase
