"First Lesson"

After the email we recieve on monday I recieved a letter from her a few days later with more details of her week. Because of the 4th of July the Library was closed on Monday where she normally emails so she had to email from the sites and she didn't have a lot of time. She wanted to share with us her official "First Lesson" with us. It's sweet so i thought i would share it:
"On monday we were able to meet with Carly who we met tracting last Friday. Before i tell you what happened i first have to say that i have been feeling discouraged because since being here in Ohio i havent really felt like a missionary. I know its wierd to say but i just haven't felt the spirit like i thought i would. I dont know really how to explain it but anyways i was so nervous for this lesson. It was my first basically with an investigator. Carly is 21 and was raised catholic but stopped going because her mom got really sick with cancer and passed away not to long ago. She has been away at college and wasnt really sure on whether or not to move back home for the summer to live with her dad and little brother. She had a job there and everything but felt for some reason she should come back home. When she got here she found a job right away and said she knew God has been answering her prayers. She startd going back to church a month ago when she moved back for the summer. Before her mom passed away Carly said there were two girls about our age who would come over and talk with her mom. Carly wasnt usually around when they would come over so she wasnt really sure if they were missionaries from our church. so when we stopped by to talk to her the frist time and asked if we could come back she said she was curious about what we believed.When Carly was telling me and sister Stewart all this the spirit was so strong, and i realized that all of these events that had taken place were because the Lord was guiding her and that sister Stewart and i were being guided by the spirit even if it didnt seem like it at the time. I mean think about it... She had a feeling she should come home for the summer, found a job right away to allow her to stay here, recognized that God was answering her prayers so she started going back to church right in time for me and sister Stewart to walk on to her street to talk about religion and being curious if these were similar sisters that talked to her mom before she passed away... At a point during the lesson i had a thought to turn to 2 Nephi 29:9 So while sister Stewart was teaching her about the restoration i turned to it quietly and read it to my self. Before the end of the lesson like literally right before we left i finally shared it with her. I'm still working on the talkin and not holding back sharing thoughts that come to my mind. You know me! hee hee Well the scripture talks about how the Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever and i bore my testimony to her about the Book of Mormon. Afterwards she said that she is glad i shared that scripture with her because it makes sense that the Lord would talk to everyone and prepare everyone not just those in Jerusalem and that he works the same way today with us. Even though it took me like 30 minutes to get the courage to share this scripture im so glad i did because it helped me to realize the way the spirit works with us. I know that as long as i am being obedience and living righteously i am being guided by the Holy Ghost. Sometimes it doesnt feel like it but when things happen like this it opens my eyes so much more! We havent been able to meet with Carly again but i will let you guys know if we go back and teach her again!" I love you guys and miss you so much! Keep reading your scriptures and say family and personal prayers! There is a reason why we are asked to do these things and i know you will be blessed!!

Oh man!! what a great letter!! Wish we could all experience these kinds of things daily in our lives!!
