Hello from Rainy South
Carolina Hopkins man I have never seen so much rain in my life but I love it
can’t help but love it. This week has been oh so great and we will start
with Wed we had an awesome sisters Conference in which I saw all my friends and
companions. Then Thursday was the fourth and you will read that day
later. Than on Saturday we went to visit Nima lee who came
to church last week and yesterday and we were talking and she was
talking about a program she watches on TV about Joseph smith worried it was
anti I asked what station it was on and she showed us and it was the byu
tv station apparently she watches it all the time. then she brought
out all the information she found about us from the internet all lies and
anti we sat there and went through it all and I was so grateful for the
spirit because I know I would never to have been able to explain those
questions for her to understand but she gave us the anti and we gave
her Mormon.org to visit and we taught about Joseph Smith and she came to the conclusion that
he was a missionary and not a prophet and so she decided to come to
church which was testimony meeting and all the people who bore their
testimonies bore testimony of Joseph smith as a prophet it was a prayer
answered after Church Nima lee had to leave so we did not get to talk to her
about it but we look forward to do so this week. Pray for her she needs
this so bad and she does not realize it all the way yet. than yesterday
after church we went to Eastover to visit an investigator and when we got
there she was in the field picking corn and we offered to help her and she
gratefully accepted and she had a cousin there named Prophetess and she is
a prophetess and we shook her hands and then she starts speaking in tongues and
blessing us and telling us to wait seven days and we will be greatly
blessed and right after that I was attacked by ants that bit my feet all
over and that was a sign to leave but I ignored it. So we are in this
field picking corn ants everywhere on us biting us and mosquitos attacking
us and the corn cutting us Finally I have had enough so I
tell sister Eames we are leaving and we are going to tell them we have an
emergency and have to leave and as we are heading back prophetess yells we need
to quit God says we need to stop so we gather all the corn and find out it is
not her field even and we helped her steal the corn I should have listened to
the first sign but anyway we talked and finally the prophetess left and that
was good because we were able to have a great lesson with Janice our
investigator who wants to read the book of Mormon and has not but we told her
to read and pray Sister Eames was great with her lovingly bold. I learned
to never work on the Sabbath again not worth it and I have the bug bites to prove
it.
So the best thing ever happened to me this past week so on 4th of July we went
to contact a referral and they were not home and so we decided to go and knock
and find some new people and we met Adam and we were talking and teaching him
when he came out and said he was Jesus Christ and he did not die on the Christ
but he was reborn into a new body. I tried not to laugh in his face and
was worried for sister Eames and looked over and she seemed fine so we went on
and he kept going on and on and on and as he was talking I kept saying to
myself he is not Christ he is not Christ I know he is not Christ. so eventually
we left and went home and we were on lockdown from six to the rest of the
evening and I had some extra time so I read the book of Mormon and I read
Moroni seven all about the pure love of Christ and as I read I felt so happy
and knew that it was true and that Adam was not Christ I knew the book of
Mormon was true it was reconfirmed to me that it was true and that night I felt
really great and just happy and at peace because I knew the truth. I am so
grateful to have had this week and all that I have learned and felt I love
being a missionary and don't want to be anywhere else right now I love ya’ll
and thank you for all you do and all your prayers have a great week and hope
your 4th was fabulous.
Love sister Browning
