Hey so I may or may not have forgotten that it was transfers this week.... Oops. So I am emailing today! And also I am getting transferred :( But even though I am very sad to leave this ward I know that this is what God wants me to do. But this week has been full of miracles! Aurora is just fantastic!
She went on line this week to look up things about the church. And she came to us with a list of questions that she had found. Most of them were the usual ones about polygamy and coke. She also found lots of anti things on there too. But she told us that she could not get Sister Walkers Voice out of her head. Telling her to remember how she felt and to see if the things felt good. And she told us that the things on the Internet did not make her feel the same peace that she felt when we told her the first vision. I feel so blessed to have had a chance to meet such a wonderful daughter of God. I feel truly blessed that I have this chance to serve the Lord. Then we had stake conference and Elder Jones of the Seventy came and spoke. He did so amazing! He talked all about 3 Nephi and the character of Christ. He spoke of how much the savior loves and knows us. This topic was especially important to me and sister Walker. Because the day before we had gone to the house of a Less active, and she informed us that she was leaving the church. I can not tell you the pain and sadness that filled my heart when she told us this. When we asked her why she turned in the Book Of Mormon to 3 Nephi. And during chapters 6-9 when the cities of the wicked are destroyed, and the voice of Christ is heard, she told us that that was not the Christ that she believed in. The Christ she believed in did not just kill people, and no matter what we said did, or what scriptures we used she would not open her heart. Even when Sister Walker gave the promise as a servant of God that if she would go to Stake Conference Elder Jones
would Talk about her concern. She still refused to come, and I as told you that promise was fulfilled. Again I will never be able to describe the depth of the sorrow and pain that I felt that day. To know that someone I loved was turning her back on the Book of Mormon and in turn the Savior (though she believes she is not) broke my heart. I am not a crier but that day I wept, and had a glimpse, just a glimpse in to how or Heaven Father feels when we turn from him. I love this work and I pray that all of you stay true to the faith. I have seen what it is like for people when they don't have the spirit with them. And I would not wish that life on anyone. They may seem happy but you can feel the difference in there lives. I love you all and will write you soon! And I will try and get you my new address. Love you!!!! Love sister Chatwin
