So at the end of Pday last week, Sister Young and I didn't really have anything planned, but we had a referral that only lived a half mile away. So we decided to bike there and just stop by since we weren't having much luck getting in touch with them over technology. So we stop by and they let us right in! I was holding a Book of Mormon and the man who referred himself asked what the difference was between the Bible and the Book of Mormon, so we got to teach them about the Book of Mormom! They were so pumped to start reading!!! But it doesn't stop there! Then they proceed to tell us how they've always wanted to get baptized but never knew what church to get baptized into... obviously, we jumped on that pretty quick, offering to help however we could! We had a return appointment and they are loving what we've taught so far! I'm so excited for them!
I have learned over the past year or so that my love for rap helps me connect with so many people instantly. Funny story, we are teaching some teenage boys right now (they're the cutest and I'm obsessed with them) and they wanted to play basketball with us out in their driveway before we had dinner with their family. Somehow I was able to make a 3 pointer and one of the boys starts singing a rap song. I immediately start singing along and this kid looked at me with pure shock and says "people from your church don't listen to rap!!" Haha they didn't realize I used to be a normal human I guess lol. So it was awesome! As we were shooting hoops, we were talking about what they liked and they were so pumped to talk about rap with a hip sister missionary. Making connections and forming friendships is the best way to share the gospel! Who would've thought my love for music would help me so much on the mission!
So last week I mentioned being an STL last week, turns out rumors are true! Your girl is going to be a Sister Training Leader again! I am actually so excited and I cant even wait! I get to go to Baton Rouge tonight for mission leadership council again. It feels good to have an idea of what to do and I just love serving the sisters around me. So this transfer will be awesome.
I have been studying lots about missionaries lately, and I feel so blessed that I've had the chance to grow so much on my mission. I have had my fair share of hard times and I know that's how it is for all missionaries. But the Lord supports us and helps us the whole way through! Alma 26:12 say "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever." I'm so grateful that the Lord can make this weak Sister stronger! I love Him for that!
I love my Savior, I love being a missionary, is is hard and I have to rely on Christ daily. But we can do all things with Christ. God is good! I love yall, stay safe and have a great week!
Love,
Sister Crouch
