Happy birthday Dad! I am so glad that that letter made it up there
in time. That was only about 2 weeks. what a blessing. Sorry that the
calving season is kinda stinky this year. What a pain. But hopefully
things will start moving along a little bit more
normally. I sure am proud of dad for his talk on sunday. I am sure that
Bishop Christensen was sure pleased. And thanks so much dad for your
words of wisdom. I can promise you that they were not wasted. Mom, I
think that you are aging the wrong direction.ahhhahaha.
just keep it up. I know that youre making a difference in a lot of
little lives.
This has been one of the best weeks that I have had on the mission.
it started out when one of the members in our ward announced to us that
she was going to come with us for the afternoon to get to know some of
her friends. Obviously we agreed, but whaat
we didnt expect was what followed. We got 15 referrals from her that
afternoon. But it didnt end there. we ended up getting 24 referrals for
the rest of the week. That is nuts. We were kept so sosososo busy this
week with all of the referrals that we got. All
of the new investigators that we got were from referrals and many are
going to progress super well I can tell. Hermana watkins and I worked
our pants off this week and it was pretty clear to see the fruits of the
week. I really love being a missionary and
seeing prepared people and prepared members who are truly converted to
the Gospel. Also this week 2 missionaries came back from serving their
missions in our ward, and let me tell you they are spectacular. Just
about every day they are calling us with referrals,
or updates on menos activos or just to see if they can help us. One is
pretty funny and refuses to go anywhere wihtout his backpack.I am pretty
sure that I will be the same
One of our new investigators name is Vanessa. she is 16 and SSSOOO
prepared to accept the Gospel. The first day we met her we asked her to
pray, and the next day we asked how it went and she said that she felt
soo good and wants to know more. She read
all of the pamphlet that we gave and recited the entire restoration
story from memory. We invited her to a baptism for another ward and she
came and loved it. She also came to church and loved it. At church she
told us that she started reading the Book of Mormon
and that she wants to be baptized. She already told her mom and she said
yes so all we need now is written permission. It really has been one of
the coolest experiences of my mission.
We are also working with an hermana named Cecilia. She is catholic,
but we have been teaching her for a while about the church. I showed
her a picture of President Monson yesterday and she said. I know that
this man is the Prophet, but why dont other people
know? I couldnt belive my ears. She waas pretty doubtful the entire
time, but recentlly she has really been coming along well. She's about
24 and is getting married soon.
I love you all so much. Thanks for all the love and support. I
seriously feel it and am so grateful. I got a package from Hermana
Delores and a fabulous card from Vaughn and Alyse. Thank you all.
