Sharing the Gospel

I love this subject and feel like when we are doing this we are fulfilling all that our Heavenly Father wants us to do. I have a sister and cousin who are serving missions right now and then two more of my cousins have their papers in. I am so thankful for these example, and know that all the younger children are looking up to them and wanting to be just like them.

In Mark 14 verse 9 it says: "Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her." I know that as these missionaries are out we are able to be so blessed as a family. Every Monday they email. My sister is in Georgia and absolutely loves it. I love her emails and can just feel the power that she feels reading the emails. She has just hit her halfway mark and has had about 11 baptisms. She was in her first area for about 8 months and just fell in love with the people there. She tells such neat stories about people that she is working with and I know that she is where she is supposed to be! 

Here is a picture of my sister, she has the strawberry blond hair with the black shirt. This family that she found was so ready to hear the gospel. She told us that the mom called them as sisters and asked if they could bring a Book of Mormon over because she was really looking for the true church for her children. This is one of the most powerful testimonies of the BOM that I have ever heard. This family was so ready and after having the BOM for just a few days called my sister and told her that she was ready to be baptized. Two weeks later the mom and the two daughters got baptized and a week later the father. This week the father has the opportunity to baptize his son. I truly love this and know that Heavenly Father prepares people and puts certain people in our paths. I am so thankful for missionary work and so thankful for my sweet sister!
