This week was as I am sure you can all understand a bit different than the average. But I hope also that you may all know that our mission is doing well we are all a family and all understand the plan so we are not devastated.
Now, who wants to hear some miracles?!
This last week sister Nelson and I were serving at the chapel next to the temple and we had the unfortunate opportunity of it raining very very large rain drops. And no one set up time to do a tour with. So out we were going to go but a very small voice whispered to me, You silly Sister Thornley look at her. She needs you to talk to her. on my left was a woman sitting there. As we began talking with her. We found out she was a member but for many years had not gone to church. And today was accompanying her brother who insisted that she waited for him while he went to the temple.
We invited her to do a tour with us around the chapel. Where we show them paintings and talk and testify of Christ.
I was so nervous for the first time in my mission to recite the first vision to this woman. But as I did the spirit touched her. The rest of the tour was full of the spirit guiding us to the paintings she needed to see and to say the words she needed to hear.
By the end a form of love had grown between my companion and I and this Sister. For the first time sense her joining the church she felt a hope that she could have a Savior who could help her change.
Because of time today that is the only story I can share with you. But know that the spirit is with us and guiding us to those who need the gospel.
Also being a missionary rocks we are given so much fun free stuff! I was given a very nice guitar this week. I'll send a picture to ya and you can all start praying that I can learn to play it!
I love you all very much. Treasure the moments we are given.
-Sister Thornley
