There's Only One True Church

Hey everyone! This week was super awesome, but I'm currently balling up, so I don't have a ton of time hahah. So, I'm just gonna give some quick highlights!!



Monday night, we had a FIRE restoration lesson and really focused on Joseph Smith with our friend Jason!!! The Spirit was literally so strong! We read parts of Joseph Smith history and asked him what he thinks, and he said, "there's only one God," and we said, "yeah and!??!?" and he said, "that means there's only one true church." FAX.



Got a referral from this dude this week and had 2 awesomeee lessons with him!! The second lesson we taught the plan of salvation, and he said something about his girlfriend, so we asked if she would want to join, and he said yes! She lives in a different part of Illinois and has been meeting with missionaries for 3 ish years!! The whole time we taught the lesson, she would go, "yeah Anthony, what do you think?" when we would ask questions, and then she would testify! So sick.



Had exchanges!! I was with Sister Klippel again, and it was such a party! This time we were in Pekin, and we had some awesome lessons, one with a part-member household whose husband is preparing for baptism!



FAM (Funny Awkward Moment) this week I just kept getting clowned, shocker right? Hahahaha



We were in a rush to leave the house, and so we got to gals lunch with the ladies, and I looked down, yeah I was wearing my slides. Wore 'em around the restaurant like a queen, I guess 💀.



Got mooned by a 13-year-old, yeah, that was mega awkward.



This week, I studied about the Atonement!



President Nelson, in a talk, says:



"This is the great latter-day work of which we are a part. That is why we have missionaries; that is why we have temples—to bring the fullest blessings of the Atonement to faithful children of God. That is why we respond to our own calls from the Lord. When we comprehend His voluntary Atonement, any sense of sacrifice on our part becomes completely overshadowed by a profound sense of gratitude for the privilege of serving Him."



I'm so privileged and blessed to be a part of this great work. I know that when we fully understand the Atonement, we want to serve Him. We want to be better!



I have been stretched in more ways than I ever could've imagined, but I wouldn't trade this opportunity for the whole world.



I'm so grateful for my Savior and His intimate and eternal sacrifice!



Being a missionary is the greatest thing in this world!



Love, Sister Liljenquist

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you all had the best week/Thanksgiving. Here are some highlights of my week. Okay, so flashback to a couple of weeks ago when I was serving in Indianola. Sister Hopkins and I went to visit a referral who said she wasn't interested. We noticed a dude sitting on his porch, so we went to walk over, but he was gone, and there was a big pit bull barking at us and running across the deck. We decided to knock on the house next door. When we went to knock, the dude walked back outside. We walked back over to him and asked if he wanted to hear a message. He said yes, so we walked up and sat down and realized real quick that the man wasn't in the right state of mind. We respectfully told him that our message is the most important message he could ever hear, but that the Holy Ghost testifies of the truth we share, and that he wasn't in a place for the spirit to be. He then proceeded to tell us, "I'm Jesus." We quickly looked at each other, th...
