Should we go over our schedule for tomorrow, Sister Williams?

Yes.

For tomorrow,

the families that we need to revisit are going to be the Johnsons, the Mills,

and the Smiths.

As soon as we're done with them, we'll just finish working our way around the

east side of Fourth Ward.

So we'll start on Kenwood Street and then work our way up Granada after we're

finished there.

Are any of those specific appointments or are we just going to come by at any

time?

Yeah, we'll just drop by.

And then anyone who doesn't answer, we'll just go back and knock their doors

again after dinner.

Okay. We need to get as many converts as possible.

Yeah.

Um, I think that we need to stop by the stake center as well.

Oh, yeah, that's right. We have that young women's project that we're helping

out with.

Um, and we'll just do that between the Johnson and the Mills house.

And what time do we need to wake up?

It's 6 a .m., so we should probably get to sleep.

It's been a long day. Yeah.

Do you want to say the prayer, or should I?

You can say it tonight.

Is there anyone or anything special you want to pray for?

No one in particular.

Okay.

Dear Heavenly Father, we're so grateful for this day and for all the blessings

that Thou has bestowed upon us.

We're grateful for our families, for the opportunity that we have to serve.

Please bless us that we will continue to be inspired as we teach the gospel.

Please bless us that we will be healthy and stay safe and that we will get the

good night's rest that we need.

Please bless Sister Williams' family that they will also be healthy and safe.

And please bless my family for the same.

Please bless us that we will always remember what we're supposed to be doing

here as we serve the Lord and spread the gospel.

We say these things in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Amen. Good night, Ashley.

Good night, Jessica.

Do you want to take this one?

Yeah.

Can I help you? Hi.

Hi, I'm Sister Thompson, and this is my companion, Sister Williams, and we're

here from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints.

Yeah, I don't think you... We want to see... Hey, don't

be discouraged.

Come on, let's go.

How are you today?

Good, thanks. How are you?

Good. My name is Sister Williams. This is my companion, Sister Thompson.

We're from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints. Someone in your

area gave us your name as someone who might be interested in hearing some of

church's teachings.

So if you have a minute, we'd love to sit down with you and talk about God's

wonderful plan for us.

It'll only take a few moments, and you can learn all about how your family can

be together forever.

Okay.

Yeah, come on in.

You know, Sister Williams...

With all of the people turning us down lately, I have been pondering on what

scripture I should be studying.

And something that I really wanted to spend some time on is chapter 29 in the

book of Alma, because it talks a lot about missionary work and how important

is. In the description, it says, the Lord grants teachers for all nations.

And this has been really important to me because I do find a lot of happiness in

knowing that we are teachers of God and we are teaching the gospel to all of

these people that really need it in their lives.

In verse 9 it reads, I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory

in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath

commanded me.

Yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of

God to bring some soul to repentance, and this is my joy.

Sister Williams.

I want to bear testimony to you today that I know this church is true. I know

that Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon.

And I know that it is not only our job but our glory to teach the people the

gospel, bring them to repentance.

Even if we bring one or two souls this week or this month or even this transfer

to repent, I know.

that they will bring the joy and the truth of the gospel to not only their

friends, their families, but co -workers and everyone they encounter.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen. Amen.

Hi,

I'm Sister Thompson, and this is my companion, Sister William.

I'm Sister Williams. This is my companion, Sister Thompson.

And we're here from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints. We're from

the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints.

Oh, hey, it's four. I'm starving. Yeah.

Let's go eat dinner, and then we can be back out by six to finish the

neighborhood. Okay, let's do it. Okay.

In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Amen. Thank you.

Hi, President Benson.

Yes, today we finished all of Fourth Ward, and tomorrow we were going to

with the... Well, yes.

I must admit, this comes as a bit of a surprise. I mean, it hasn't even been

weeks since the last transfer.

Does this mean Sister Thompson will be transferred as well?

I understand.

Yes, I can be ready at nine tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Where?

Alberta. As far away from you as they could put me.

We should pray.

Dear Heavenly Father,

we're so grateful for this day and for the chance that we had to be companions

with each other.

We're grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ, that through him we can

repent.

Please forgive us for our sins.

Please help us to find strength and to

find...

The positivity in President Benson's...

talking to me on the phone.

He said he almost considered just ending my mission

because of mental illness.

The way you finish your mission is the way you finish your life, he said.

He said it as a threat.

If he thinks he knows something, I mean, could it have been one of the families

that we visited? Or maybe they found something during the apartment check.

We weren't careful enough.

No, we were.

What if they send me home, too?

They're not going to send you home, okay?

Listen, we're going to get through this, okay?

Just have to finish this out and then just come back to Salt Lake, okay? Just

back there and stay there and I'll come for you, okay?

I'll come find you, I promise.

It's not over, it's not over.

Tag me, tag us.

One more night.

Separation make us stronger and not weaker.

Let's not forget the bomb that we have created on our journey.

Is Brother Johnson on his way?

Yes.

I wonder who your new companion will be.

Is it wrong that I wish you would just stay solitary for a while?

Jessica.

I'll wait for you, okay?

I love you.

You know, they say the way you finish your mission is the way you finish your

life.

I'll see you again.

Thank you.
