Hello Friends and Family,
This week has been great! We were able to meet with a sister named Sibo
who came to church last week. She shared
with us her story of the old life she use to live before she was involved in a
tragic car accident that left her in the hospital for 7 months. She had to learn how to talk, walk, and speak
all over again. We had an awesome lesson
with her speaking about the atonement, the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and
how she can be made clean through repentance and baptism. We invited her
to baptism for the 14th of July. We are
super excited to help her progress and feel the healing and redeeming power of
the atonement in her life.
I am so grateful for my time
to serve as a full-time missionary but I can't begin to describe the excitement
and privilege it will be to be a member missionary. I don't think we truly understand what a
privilege it is for us as members of the restored Church of Jesus Christ to
minister to those not of our faith and to share with them what has brought so
much light and joy into our lives. Missionary
work as a member missionary is not only more effective but it is so much
easier! You don't have rules that
restrict you from giving others rides which gives you a prime opportunity to
speak about the gospel and serve your fellow brothers and sisters. Or rules
that limit you to your access and ability to socialize with others not of our
faith in a natural way. A white shirt,
tie, and name tag can be intimidating. I
would love to invite my neighbors over for dinner so that they can feel of the
spirit that resides in our flat but unfortunately we can't. But as a member you can. It just takes small and simple acts of love,
friendship, and kindness to bless someone's life. Please take advantage of the tools and
resources that you have as a member missionary.
Love, Elder Rash |
