hello all!
it has been another amazing week here in villa rica. i have seen miracles big and small all around me! the Lord loves us so much.
our week was pretty crazy! we had zone training which was really neat. a convert came and shared his story with us, and i was truly touched. i promise that if you are an influence for good in someone's life, you will never know how much you changed them. i can testify of that! zone training was all the way in atlanta, which is an hour away NOT including traffic. we woke up so early, but we got to go to the temple which was something that i really needed!
general conference was AMAZING! we had one of our investigators come to both morning sessions of it and the Spirit was just so strong. i loved Sister Marriott's talk, it was so powerful.
i wish i had the time to talk about our investigator Donna. i witnessed the power of our Savior in her life. there are no words to describe the experiences we have shared together, but i just want everyone to know that Christ knows each and every one of us. He knows our pains and it is only He who can solve them. Donna is a woman in her sixties who has had to endure things i would not wish upon my worst enemies. the truthfulness of this gospel has brought her peace that she has been searching for her entire life. we had a lesson last night and she looked me in the eyes & said "this is what i have been searching for my whole life. it never made sense, but now it does and i can feel my heart getting lighter." Christ can make our hearts light, this gospel brings us the truth that puts us at peace. there is hope for all of us. there is ALWAYS a way back to our Heavenly Father through His son, Jesus Christ.
some days are harder than others. i have seen some of the terrible things that some have to go through. i love these people, and seeing them hurt kills me. i want to make everything right for them and give them what they deserve! i have left lessons with tears down my face because of what some have to endure. my eyes have been opened to what our Savior must have felt when he suffered all sins and afflictions of the world. my testimony of the atonement is being strengthened as i see it working in these people's lives.
i love being here. i love being able to serve the people and teach them about our Savior. what sweet joy it brings me! there is nothing better. i will be changed for the rest of my life and the rest of eternity. how lucky i am!
i love you all! thank you for being you. enjoy your week!
& holla if its your birthday or you have some major event coming up because i think i have forgotten anything i once knew!!
lots of love,
sister bell
