POINT: SISTER MISSIONARY LETTER HOME

Hello Family!
This was another week when I felt the Lord’s hand in
this great work. I’m learning to pay attention to His promptings, and I know
that He is leading my path. The most
difficult day was Thursday. Of course it was snowing, but I had the strongest
impression that we should go visit Claire. I had it when I woke up and then
when I was getting dressed. When I studied with my companion Sister Hovey I
said, “Sister Hovey, how much do you trust me?” She of course said, “I
completely trust you—where do you think we should go?!?!” We visited people all day in spite of the terrible
weather. What made it a difficult day was that we didn’t see any
results. I have no idea why we had to be out in the cold all day, but we did
and I guess that the Lord will accept our sacrifice. I’m grateful for Sister
Hovey and the love, faith, and trust she places in me. She has been such a
blessing for me, and such an instrument in God’s hands for me.
We were richly blessed in other ways this week. We felt the
Spirit powerfully witness to us as we testified of the Book of Mormon. We did
service this week working at a retirement facility, helping a lady move out of
her house, we heart attacked the ward
mission leader’s house for his birthday, made and delivered goodies to a less
active family, cleaned up a lady's yard, visited someone who needed a visit,
and my favorite: helped someone regrout their bathroom. It all helped me to realize
that if you want to love someone YOU HAVE TO SERVE THEM!
I know I have said this before, but tell Powell that he
needs to start to read Preach My Gospel NOW so that he can be ready to serve in
just 6 short years. He’s a Deacon now, and those teachings will help him avoid temptation and hit
the ground running when he gets to his mission.
Mom and Dad, have the courage to take a Book of Mormon
with you wherever you go. If you have faith like Ammon you will know who to
offer it to. Also, Mom and Dad, please extend this invitation to the ward. Tell
them to email me to tell me how it went. I want to hear from EVERYONE!
Love,
Sister Snow
