Sister Coleman I and Sister Coleman II



Hiya! Yalrigh?
Merry Christmas! And happy new year!
The Atonement is awesome. It just is so cool. We get to try again and
again. We can be changed. It is marvellous. I had two really amazing
experiences I wanted to share:

1st. I have been praying for the past couple of weeks to know if the
Lord is pleased with me. That may sound silly, but one of Satan's most
powerful weapons against me is to whisper that the Lord is displeased
with me. That I've messed up too many times, I say the wrong thing,
that I should have acted when I didn't, that I'm slothful and lazy,
and that the Lord considers me an unprofitable servant.
Hence, why I have been praying. There was one night when I prayed that
I did receive a great feeling that he was pleased with me, but in the
heat of the day, that feeling disintegrated. I should have talked to
that lady on the bus, I disagreed with my companion, etc etc. so I
began to pray with more distress to really repent and know that he was
pleased.
We come to Sunday and after church I was talking with a member about
faith. Then he said to me, 'the Lord uses all of our gifts and
potential. Every drop. And he is pleased with your gift. He is
pleased.'
I was dumbstruck. The words he had said and how it was phrased were
prompted. I cannot deny such a clear answer. Which is so cool because
guess what? I wasn't perfect on Sunday, nor have I ever been. I can
count on myself to be consistently imperfect. But I can also count on
myself to be perfect in trying. And the Lord is pleased with me. He is
pleased that I continue to practice and continue to keep trying. He is
pleased with all of us. So don't give up! Keep practicing. Keep
trying!

2nd: back to the faith thing. The other thing I struggle with is
having faith that people will listen and be interested in the church.
I was talking to my district leader about this and he said, 'sister
Coleman, someone is waiting for you.' AGAIN. It was like brother
Benites walked in and handed me his paper again. 'Someone is waiting'.
I was reminded of the reason I decided to serve, which was the
impression that I had made promises to people before we came to earth.
They made me promise them that I would find them and teach them of
their Saviour. I do believe that there are individuals I have met this
past year that I have fulfilled that promise to. But my time is not
yet up, and there must be someone else here in England because I'm not
released till May. Please pray that we will be able to find those
people. The people I promised. I believe that this particular mission
will not be finished in May. I believe it is a lifelong quest for me
to find these people and teach them of their saviour.

I also pray that you all may have success in finding your own
premortal promises. I love you!

Happy Christmas! And Happy new year!

Love,
Sister Chloe Coleman



Hiya!! Ya alrigh?
Happy new year!!
We had a miracle week!

We went to the Parks on New Year's Eve and played taboo. The people
who live above our flat were very noisy and drunk all night haha that
was interesting. On Friday we fasted for a friend . We continued fasting 
through Saturday with a mission fast blitz 
like the one last transfer. And there was Manna from heaven! Oh boy.

1st. I felt excited to find people and a potential confirmed for an
appointment.
2nd A former investigator agreed to a return appointment.
3rd We talked to a really lovely Catholic lady who boosted our spirits.
4th We went tracting in the evening and we chose 'Godwin terrace'
because we thought we would win with God haha. No one was home. Only one
man opened and he wasn't interested. We continued down the street and
then one lady answered and said, 'hi sisters' as she opened the door.
We were so confused haha. She told us that her sisters had taken the
missionary discussions when she was young and had been baptised. They
are now less active. But she told us we could come back and share a
message with her!
5th  Sunday we got on a bus and a young man said to us , 'are you missionaries?'
We said yes. He said, 'oh my cousin is a
missionary in Ilford ward.' What!? We found out that his mom is a
member and all his cousins. His mom goes to Ilford ward instead of
Romford ward but said we could come visit! SO COOL!

It was amazing. It was happy. :) All is well. All is well.

I am so excited for Sister Coleman the second! Or Sister Coleman II!
California is PERFECT for her! And the timing is the Lords. How much
better is it for us to serve at the same time then to spend a short
time together and then say goodbye again. I am at peace with it. :) my
favourite chapter in the bible is Hebrews 11. Read it. It is great.
Especially verse 39 and JST 40.

I love you!!

Love, Sister Coleman I   :)
