My child is coming tomorrow!!! (most likely) I'm so excited to train. She is from New Zealand and she's polynesian, but I dont know how to spell her name, i'll let you know next week.
so this week i've been with sister utomo and sister Bourelle AND WE'VE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!! thinking about trios used to give me anxiety but this trio has been a BLAST. sister utomo is finishing up her mission at the end of this transfer, and sister bourelle is one of my favorite sisters. we are litterally twins. shes just canadian and i'm american that's the only difference we love the same movies songs tv shows it's so fun. we've seen many miracles this week too.
time is short so i'll just share 2 cool stories that happened last night. so this week we were rejected hard core but on the way to that terrible appointment we met this sweet pregnant woman who used to be christian but has then become the other religion to follow her husband. we told her who we were and she said she needed someone to talk too. so we went to her house yesterday. she was so opened to us on how much she misses the bible and how she used to feel in her heart, she says she needs jesus to help her, but it's hard since she's changed religion. we promised her the blessings and comfort she'll get from learning our message. she even prayed to heavenly father in the name of jesus christ after our lesson. the spirit was so strong and so sweet, and it just hit me how amazing being a missionary is. we are here to help people come unto jesus christ. Help people remember who they are and what they need. i was so touched by her.
and then the second story when i was still in malang i met this lady at the park, we told her who we were and she's like sorry i'm not christian and we're lqike oh okay. so we keep talking and then she's randomly like. but i want to marry a christian. and i'm lke. huh? and she's like. i'm so confused. and i asked her if she knew anything about jesus christ and she's like no. so we gave her a plan of salvation pamplet and got her number cuz i was about to move to surabaya and she lived in the exact same area! so i finally get to surabaya and try calling and texting but she seemed not interested..... 7 weeks later i get a call from a number that's not ssaved.
"Hello?" "Is this sister rowntree? do you remember me?" and i'm like uhhhhh sorry this number is not saved... .and she's like, you met me in malang and iwas like OH YA I REMEMBER YOU HI. and she's like, i'm coming back from church right now... and i'm like WOAH YOUR'E GOING TO CHURCH NOW?!?! can we meet today?
so we met her and her new boyfriend who is christian at this big park. she told us about her hard life, and how she wants to find peace and happiness in jesus christ. we shared the restoration with her and hse is the most humble person ever willing to accpet. she knows she has little knowledge about the savior but we promised as she reads the book of mormon she'll come to know it for herself that he's her savior too. IT WAS SO COOL. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!! pray for missionary opportunities yall. show your light, come unto the savior and follow those first promptings from the spirit. I love you all have a nice week!
