This week was a really sad week! Our investigator R was supposed to come to church this week because she had just quit her job, however, the company is basically forcing her to stay. She signed a lot of papers, and I don't exactly understand why, but even though she served her 1 month's notice, and quit like she needed too, the company won't let her go. It makes me really sad, because she is devastated. I felt empty during sacrament meeting because R wasn't there, and I know how bad she wants to be. I literally cried, and prayed, and even fasted again this Sunday for a miracle. However, that's all I can do. Luckily, I know she will be baptized, it's just a matter of when. I feel peace about everything, even though I have no idea how this is going to work out. The desire of my heart is just to be there for her baptism, and if she can't get baptized until January, I don't know if it's possible.
So, this basically means that R can't be baptized on the 29th - the baptism is in limbo until her company lets her go. I am so frustrated with them, and want to have them let her go so bad!!!
Other than that, my week was pretty normal. I learned the value of fasting, because I fasted with real intent and purpose for R. I want it to work out for her so bad!
Basically, I know that even though life is hard, and sometimes things don't work out in our way or timing, that doesn't mean we give up faith. Patience is an attribute of Christ that is attached to faith, and a lot of times, things don't come when we want. We need to wait, and trust. I am doing that with R!!
Other highlights...we had a nice mini water fight this week, Sister Reach threw water on me (don't worry, it was part of a game we played before bed....) and then I ran and jumped on her bed with my soaking Badju. So, her bed was a little wet that night. She tried to drag me off the bed, but I put up a good fight.
We met a wonderful lady named C, not in our area, but she is also going to get baptized!
Sometimes Satan works really hard, but I know because I have the Savior on my side, everything is going to be fine. I love the members, and I know they are starting to trust me. We harvested a nice referral this week, and although she also isn't in our area, it was great to work so closely with the members.
I love this gospel, I love being a missionary, and I'm grateful that everything I'm learning and doing is just the beginning of what I want to be the rest of my life. Thank you for being so incredible!
Love you all!!
Love,
Sister Crabb
