Hello Grandma and Grandpa!
I love you lots!
I am excited for a great week: eating berries and going to the temple to participate in the greatest work on the earth! How blessed we are! I love this church! I love you and your diligence and obedience! You two are amazing! We have had lots of rain, and it's cooled down a lot! Sometimes it is hard for me to believe that it is already...well…almost July! WE are going to have a fun party for the members and our investigators on Saturday! I'm excited! We are going to make some fun flagged desserts and play some fun American games! Also, during our English lessons we are teaching American history! It is so inspiring. I feel the spirit so strong as I talk about the inspired men and women of the revolution!
I love American history and how blessed we are!
I love this church and that through the events led by the Lord, He could again establish His kingdom once more on the earth!
How fun and how great is the work of the Lord!
O, tell Sister Cubr HellO!
And you are going to Idaho? How crazy! Have fun! I'm excited for you! What are you going to do? And then the reunion! OOooo....lucky! What a fun summer you have planned! This is so great! Are you going to write me? I cannot wait to here about your travels and your visits!
Well, did you know that during the open house I will be a temple sister, giving tours and teaching all about the house of the Lord! Sounds exciting! I'll forward Sandra our newsletter with some great pictures of the temple! You can see how beautiful!
Well, I am excited about the work here in L'viv. This week we did a stop by before one of our lessons and had a great conversation with an old investigator. She was very grateful for the missionaries that spent time with her. Although she was not searching to change, she gave us some referrals!
We are going though our area book and have some great exciting goals - this week we are going to find our next baptism! So, we shall do it!
I love Sister Robinson. She is an amazing and smart missionary! I am learning so much from her and from all of these great people I serve with and have the opportunity to serve. I am learning that although I am weak, I am stronger with the gospel and from the power of Christ. I love L'viv! I love the strength of the members and their willingness to come with us.
Yesterday, I saw two beautiful ladies standing together. It was actually miraculous: We missed our stop. Therefore, we got off on theirs! They were standing and happily waiting for their marshytka. I asked them for a little bit of help - and we spent the next five minutes talking! One was a widow with two teenage boys. The other was an 87-year-old grandma! They were so happy and so interested in us! It was refreshing to see how the Lord led us right to them, and we didn't even know it. I am also grateful for impatient and "hard of hearing" Marshytka drivers who can also act as instruments in the hands of the Lord!
Then, on that same Marshytka, I sat next to an extremely nice woman who loved to visit all of the different churches in L'viv. She even offered to take me a tour of her favorites. I asked her if she had ever been to ours. Her 11 year old daughter was excited about visiting another church. I decided to ask her why she thought there were so many churches on the earth. Her daughter was stunned. She thought seriously about it and said, I don't think I am going to be able to sleep tonight! So, I gave her a Joseph Smith pamphlet and told her the answer was in there! She was charming!
Well, I hope you have a great day!
I don't have much time...
But, I love you!
Love,
Sister Murphy
