Piano Lessons :)

It was a good week!

This week we had exchanges with the STLs and I went with Sister McKee. We found people that we have not been able to get in contact with for more than 2 weeks.  It was great! We laughed a ton and she taught some cool bike tricks 

The other day I got a feeling that I should offer free piano lessons on some Facebook groups. I didn't want to, because I really didn't know how I could help someone learn piano and if it would be worth offering. But I did it because I felt like I really needed to, and within minutes I received over 15 messages from people asking for help.  There are now over 70 comments on the post. Next week we already have more than 14 appointments scheduled to teach people the piano!

We already had our first lessons on Saturday, and when people came into the chapel they said "Wow! How beautiful!"  I hope that we can plant some seeds that grow in people's hearts!

The STLS had a baptism this week, and we invited our friend, Eric, to come.  He came and loved it!!  He told us that he was having some doubts about his own baptism because of some Anti stuff he had read, but after watching the baptism and talking with us he wanted to continue with his baptism. He came to church yesterday too and we taught him the restoration with a returned missionary in our ward.  When we taught him about Joseph Smith he told us "I believe it!!"  He is so cool.

We also had an old investigator reach out to us and ask if we could come teach him again. We went over and taught him while he smoked a huge cigar hahah, then afterwards we asked him to prepare himself to be baptized and he said yes!! We are gonna work towards March 31st with him.

Funny experiences:

We were facebook finding when the zone leaders came in one night to use the computers with us. Well, being sister missionaries we get lots of weird messages on Facebook from old, creepy men  The elders started looking over our shoulders and  reading messages as we opened them and they started freaking out  it made me realize how weird messaging people on Facebook can be sometimes as a Sister missionary haha.

Spiritual experience:

As I come to the last few weeks of my mission I have been thinking a lot about the type of person I want to be when I get home, and the goals and plans I have for the future. I've been praying a lot to know what I should study at Utah State and for help with lots of other decisions I will have to make.

We had dinner with our relief society president last night and she drove us to her house, which is about a 15 minute drive. The entire time we just talked and she answered so many of my questions and things I have been worried about!! She was a direct answer to my prayer.

Have a good week everyone and remember that God loves you!!

Love,

Sister Spackman
