Sister Wood is from Gilbert, Arizona! She loves graphic design, and art! She just got finished being trained in Vienna and did some amazing work there. She has style! We are the same size and height so I can wear her clothes! ;)
(One of the pros to a stylish companion, is that you can be stylish too!) She has such a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and of Jesus Christ! We had no problems in getting along and teaching together. I can take over a little just because I know the area so well... but that is being fixed! :)
One of the miracles this week that has been waiting to happen since I've been here, is Rosa Bertoldo to listen or sit in on anything that we discuss about in lessons we teach the Bertoldo's.
STORY: We went over to the Bertoldo home for dinner. We started out with an object lesson with cups and knives where you try to put them together to be able to balance a Book of Mormon on it! Then we talked about how this represents the firm foundation Christ is for us and the cups represent the old new and another testament of Jesus Christ and they also represent the godhead... then we went straight in into the restoration how God is our Loving Heavenly Father!
Then we ended it with an invitation that popped into my head--of them praying as a family each night!! And, they all said that they were willing to do that. Baby Alex and William weren't there obviously.. they were playing, but Sofia, my companion, and Brother Bertoldo were there and they kept testifying and bearing truths and doctrine to Sister Bertoldo and then I could just see her think alot about things when Sofia was talking about things that made her happy! It was amazing!! I have never testified so powerfully of Prophets! We are hoping to keep going over there for dinner and teaching her!!
Sarah has this guy that comes from Maryland for 5 days of the week and helps her Dad. His name is Moez! He was in the picture with Sarah at her baptism! We were talking about how we need to be baptized to go inside the temple and Sarah said " have you ever asked Moez if he wants to be baptized?" and We said , "no!.... Moez would you like to be Baptized?!" and he got so Excited!! He said "Yes, of course! I would love to be!"
Wow the Work is going forth --STILL in Centreville 2nd ward! I love this area! Still Itching to get out but giving it my big last all these next 5 weeks!! :) <3
God is Our Loving Heavenly Father! We are His offspring and we have the ability to be as He is! He created us and He desires the best for us! Even though things tend to get hard and annoying and frustrating, we must always remember that this is the process of which we agreed to go through at the beginning of time! This is our mission, just as Jesus Christ, we must stay focused on our mission here on earth and strive every day to fulfill it and at continue to learn so that we are all able to be as he is!
May Jesus Christ's Grace and Mercy forever be on our side as we strive to live his commandments with exactness! <3
Always Love,
-Sister Chaffin
