Okay, I don´t know if ya'll noticed, but General Conference was really
really awesome this year. I don´t know if it was just the crazy missionary
spiritual high thing, but it was so inspiring and instructive. For one reason or
another, my companion and I ended up watching One of the sessions with our
mission President. He mentioned how all of the talks were focused on enduring to
the end, and that something big is in store for us and that we really need to
fortify our testimonies and our faith if we are going to be tough enough to
handle what the world is preparing to dish out to us. I don't know why, but when
Elder Oaks was talking, I just thought of Dale. It was awesome. I especially
loved the talk by the Australian Dude in the Sunday evening session. By way of
tender mercy, I watched almost all of conference in English so that I could
understand. What a blessing.
I am so pleased to hear that the FFA auction was so wonderful. Congrats on
the quilt mom. You're a rockstar. And No, I don't get to go to the temple while I
am here because it is not finished yet here and Lima is too far away. So I will
have to go to the temple a whole bunch of times when I get back. I am further
grateful to hear that everything went well for Sarah and that shes healing up
again. I loved the pics of Jadyn and McKay and Bridger. Bridger is a chunk, but
sure is cute.
Oh and my vote is for that pic of Ben for senior pic. it is perfect. Oh
and Benny
- Thanks for the email- Seriously, it totally made my day. Maybe next
time, you could send me a pic that is more up to date?
Well the work of the Lord is moving forward. We have one lady on date this
week to be baptized. Her name is Yolanda. She is just the greatest. We are so
happy for her. She has got the greatest testimony of the Gospel. Angels have
been working with us to help her accept the Gospel. Those angels are her
children. They call her daily to encourage her to prepare for her baptism. Cant
wait to email you a pic of her next week after her baptism.
We have had some other really great miracles. One lady named Inez that we
contacted in the street is really one of our favorite people in the whole world.
It was very late when we contacted her and she easily gave us her address. The
next day we stopped by her house and she asked what took us so long. I checked
my watch. and thought, no- we are on time. She then told us that one of the guys
that she works with has been telling her for a few weeks that he wants to send
the missionaries to her house to talk about the Gospel. But he never did. When
we contacted her in the street she was very excited to finally have contact with
the missionaries. When we got to her house, She called her kids inside from
playing and had them sit around us and listen to the Gospel. We taught them
about how to pray as a family and it was so tender when the mom was so excited
to pray as a family. We are looking forward to visiting her more. The dad just
left the family and Inez is trying very hard to keep her kids away from the
things of the world.
I love you all and Mom- you are the best card writer in the whole world.
Thanks for keeping me up to date.
Love you all
