I can't believe I'm already one
transfer into my mission! I still want to tell people I've only been
out for a couple of weeks haha.

The work is progressing so much! Our
numbers have nearly quadrupled since my first week here :D. We got
another new investigator this week, too! It was really cool, we were
at a bus stop just waiting for the bus to come when a lady came and
stood by us. After we rode together (didn't say anything to one
another yet) and got off, she mentioned to us how she saw our
commercials on TV. So, we asked if she wanted to learn more and she
said yes! We had our first appointment with her yesterday and we are
excited to give her a church tour and bring her to church soon :).
Our other investigators have been really good, too. We had a lesson
with one of our investigators (who has been investigating for a good
amount of time) and we focused on baptism for this lesson. We had a
member with us and she just explained her conversion and testimony to
our investigator and it was amazing! It was exactly what the
investigator needed to hear. I am so grateful for members who are so
willing to help us in inviting people to come unto Christ. I've
learned from that experience how important members are in missionary
work.
We also had the opportunity to have the
3rd hour lesson during church focus on missionary work yesterday. Our
ward mission leader taught the entire lesson instead of us
missionaries though because he wanted to emphasize how it is the
ward's job to find people for us to teach instead of the ward just
taking over when we get someone converted (we have to work together
throughout a person's conversion process). The lesson focused on
mormon.org and how easy it is to be a member missionary using that
website. I'm so grateful we all have the opportunity to invite
everyone we know to come unto Christ and find joy and happiness in
this life and forever. I know that the gospel can change someone's
life, and all we need to do is introduce them to it.
Missionary work is great! (D&C 4)
Sincerely,
Sister Tyler
