Quadruple the Fun Plus One: Lindsay

Kelly's Baptism

Hi Everyone! I love all of you! I hope your week was awesome!

Transfer calls were on Saturday and I am staying in YSA 2nd with Sister Grange!

I'm so excited! Especially since we were pink washing, I feel like we

need to stay another transfer, just so we can get used to the area

more!

So this week was so stressful, but amazing! We had a baptism

planned for one of our investigators. Oh my gosh, Satan was really

working on our investigator as well as Sister Grange and I. We

literally were just so irritated, and stressed out to the point of

breaking! It was so crazy! Satan's power is real, and we learned so

much from that experience! We knew that Satan didn't want us to have

the spirit with us, and he knew that we were a bit stressed out. He

made it seem so much worse in our minds! We prayed multiple times and

just worked our way through weekly planning and we made it! We were so

happy by the end of the week! After that experience, we talked to each

other and said what even happened? It was crazy!!

On Tuesday, we went on exchanges! I exchanged with Sister Condie who

has been out for a month and a half. She is so sweet, and I had so

much fun with her! We had a goal of passing out 3 copies of the Book

of Mormon! And I was so scared to do it! But I told myself that I had

to be a good example to Sister Condie, and just take an act of faith!

:) So, during the day, there was a HUGE monsoon storm!! It got so bad

that it literally started hailing..... In Arizona!! We couldn't see

anything outside our window, so we slowed down to 5 mph. But we made

it to the apartment complex where we would try a potential

investigator! We knocked on his door and no one answered. Right then

and there I saw two people sitting outside smoking. I told myself, "ok

Sister Dunn, here is an opportunity! So I said to Sister Condie that

we should talk to them. Then she said, "I'm such a wimp!" And so I

said, "Well, let's go then!" So we went!!! They didn't seem super

interested, but they said they would read it! So you never know!

Then right after that we talked to another lady, and her bus came so we

barely got her to accept a copy! Whoo!! It wasn't perfect, and I'm

pretty sure it was a little awkward, but we faced our fears and we

felt so good after!!! We had an awesome day of meeting and teaching people, and I knew that the Lord helped us and provided a way for us to have success because we acted in faith!

On Wednesday we had Zone meeting! It was honestly amazing! Something that our district leader said really helped me. He was talking about prophets, and how

we need to proclaim the truth of the prophets to everyone we talk to.

He said, "I'm sick and tired of Satan deceiving people". We literally

are called to serve the Lord whether we be members or missionaries! We

all have a part to play in God's plan and we can help others find the

gospel that we have!

We also had another exchange on that day too! I went with Sister Walter to the Vail Area! She is an awesome sister! That night we taught the Priests of the family ward about missionary work. We talked about the priesthood and how it such a sacred calling. The spirit was so strong, and I know that they all will be great missionaries!

The next day, Sister Walter and I were going to try some potentials when we saw a man down the road trying to flag down 2 cars. We turned around and pulled over and asked if he was ok. He was off roading, and got stuck! So we called a lot of ward members to come out and help us. While we were waiting for them, we talked to him a little bit and eventually we brought up the Book of Mormon! He has talked with missionaries and he knows the church, but he hadn't

received a copy of the Book of Mormon! So we gave him one and he said

he would read it! Then the members came and helped him! He told us

that we had saved his life! It was awesome, and an experience we won't

ever forget!

On that same day after we exchanged, we went to a less

actives apartment and his girlfriend was there! She doesn't know if

God is real and so it is really hard to help her know that God exists.

But she is really open with us, and we see a lot of potential in her!

On Friday we attended Kelly's baptism! She had me say the opening

prayer which was awesome! It was a great service, and many people came

to support her. After her baptism she said "I feel so clean!" It was

amazing!
