Sister Worthington's two latest letters!
We had a cool fireside with Elder Echohawk one of the area 70's. It was a very good fireside. We had 6 out of 9 zones there. We sang an incredible song. I learned so much from the spirit. Love you all very much!
Faith in Every Footstep
A marvelous work has begun to come forth
Among all the children of men.
O ye that embark in the service of God,
Give heart, mind and strength unto Him.
For prophets have spoken and angels have come
To lift the world from sin.
That Christ may reign over all the earth
And bless His gathered kin.
With faith in every footstep,
We follow Christ, the Lord.
And filled with hope
Through His pure love,
We sing with one accord.
If we now desire to assist in this work
And thrust in our sickle with might;
If we will embark in the service of God
To harvest in fields that are white,
Our souls may receive the salvation of God,
The fullness of His light,
That we may stand, free of sin and blame,
God's glory in our sight.
With faith in every footstep,
We follow Christ, the Lord,
And filled with hope
Through His pure love,
We sing with one accord.
And filled with hope
Through His pure love,
We with with one accord.
SECOND LETTER:
Dear family,
So Monday a really cool miracle happened. So on the 4th a member came up to us and said that she might have an investigator for us. She volunteers at a thrift store and she met a girl who is pregnant. She felt prompted to let that girl live with her. The girl accepted and then the member had to go to SLC to pick up her son so she invited the girl to come along. She took her to church and then to temple square. The sisters there gave her a BOM and pamplets. She loved it so much she did not want to leave. So then Monday my companion and I planned oddly and ended up in their neighborhood. We saw her son who said she'd be back any time. So we talked to members near by and then we were deciding what to do next we had planned to see a less active but she was quite a ways away. So we prayed what to do and right then and there they pulled into the neighborhood. So we met her and she's really sweet. The member told her about the church including modern revelation. And the girl truly believes she's being put into the church and God is leading her to it. It's amazing how God prepares his children. I love you all.

July 8, 2013
Monday- after p day an active
family asked us to teach their family a fhe lesson my companion and i
decided on the 10 commandments. When we walked in we saw that they
invited their less active brother, his non member wife, and their cousin
whose not a member. My companion and I changed our minds and changed
the lesson to the restoration. The spirit was very very strong it was
amazing.
Tuesday- We met our new mission
president President and Sister Miller. Thier amazing!!!!! I already
love them. Their so funny and their great people. Afterwards we did
exchanges with the rio rancho spanish sisters. I stayed in White Rock
and sister Cruz came with me to WR. We went and visted tons of less
actives. Sadly only one let us in :(. and apparently she has pet wolves.
:O i had no idea until a member told us. Its crazy. We also helped a
kid chase down his dog lol.
Wednesday- we exchanged back and did weekly planning. Nothing too exciting
Thursday- 4th of july. the wr
ward has an amazing carnival and parade that they host and almost all of
the town goes to it. It was loads of fun. Afterwards we did studies and
we did some prosletying on the streets as people walked to the
fireworks. We then went home and watched the fireworks from our house.
Friday- We had zone training it was a really good meeting. And then having district lunch with my district was loads of fun.
Saturday- We taught our investigator Melinda. Sadly shes not progressing. :( But our bishop asked us to be patient so we are.
Sunday- The santa fe Elders
baptized a family and they moved to our area. Now sisters are in their
area so my companion and I spent all of yesterday doing tons of
paperwork so that he could receive the preisthood. Its been a crazy
week!!!
Week of the 4th
Dearest Family,
So the work is literally growing everyday. Due to miles we walk everywhere. So people see us walking everywhere. Plus it's easier to approach people so we've been handing out a lot of pass-along cards. Our investigator Melinda is growing and progressing every day. She's making tons of friends with the members, and she's attending every week. It's really exciting. Tuesday was a really cool day a family asked us to come by and teach a non-member family about God's love and the spirit was really strong. We have no idea how interested they are but we hope they will someday. Also an awesome miracle happened. My last companion and I received a referral of a less active and so we tried to contact him but his gate was always locked. So we finally counted him as a contacted. Well the ward gave us a list of 23 less actives to see and he was on the list. So we went by and his gate his gate was unlocked and he was home! So we were able to get his number to schedule a time. It was amazing!
I love you all!
Love,
Sister Worthington
p.s. Also I was over at a member's house and her mom and sister were there and they live in Meridian!!! So they will be bringing a box of stuff to you guys!
