Dear Family and friends,
I don't have a lot of time today but I will hurry and give you a quick update! The MTC is great! It is really quite a strange feeling to be in the MTC again... especially the Provo MTC since I went to the Spain MTC before. But it is fun at the same time! We work in the Referral Center all day! There are 10 full time missionaries here. Some are assigned here for their whole mission and some are here for medical reasons like me. We all have a lot of fun together everyday! Basically we are online all day long taking chats and helping people learn more about the Gospel online! We also skype with people who are interested and teach them with their local missionaries. We also see our investigators from all over the world get baptized!! We have two baptisms tomorrow! One at 4am and one at 8am! YAY! It's a little early but we will wake up and skype into the baptism - I am so excited they are getting baptized! They are both from Brazil which is where my cute companion, Sister De Jesus is from.
I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve again as a full time missionary and watch these miracles continue to happen! Everyday we are on "chat" to talk with people all over the world! We have had some amazing experiences in these past few days with the chats we have had. We have members, non-members and inactive members come online to talk with us. Belle, is incredible. We met her yesterday! She is from Australia and we think she has cancer (or some sickness that is causing her to lose her hair). She came on chat and was scared because she had fallen away from anything spiritual for the past few years after she lost her "nan", but now she doesn't know how much time she has left to live so she wants to make sure she knows all she can before she dies so she can go to Heaven. We taught her a little bit about Heavenly Father's love on chat and then we asked to skype her to continue teaching her. She at first said she was scared because she doesn't have any hair and she was a little embarrassed. But then after we kept talking she finally said, "Ok, I want to skype with you both! You are too nice!". So we skyped with her and taught her about our purpose as missionaries and about the Book of Mormon! She LOVED it!!! She said she loved that we didn't force anything upon her. She said, "I love this! I don't feel forced! If I want to read the book and join your church I can. And I mean I think I have the desire to read it! Why not?" :) She is really prepared and we are excited to be teaching her!
I am so grateful for the Gospel in my life and know that we can bless people's lives as we choose to open our mouths and share the gospel... whether it is full-time missionary work, teaching people through social media or even just by example... we are helping to bring all of Heavenly Father's children to His son, Jesus Christ and I am so so incredibly grateful for that! I know this Gospel is true and it has blessed my life and continues to do so everyday!
Go share the gospel with someone this week and you will see miracles come from it!
Love you all!
Love,
Hermana Eyring
ps. We went to the doctor again this past week (Hermana de Jesus and I have the same doctor) and he said we need to be doing a stationary bike everyday and walking with a little weight on our legs everyday for a half of a mile! We both still have pain in our hips but we are hoping this helps!
