Hey Everyone!!
I've loved getting emails from you and seeing how you are doing! I'm glad everyone is doing well!
This week has been crazy, full of ups and downs and at the end, some crazy miracles!
Transfer
calls were this week.....I am staying here in Paso!...with Sister
Coleman!! We are both so excited to stay, especially since we thought we
were going to be white-washed out due to different things that happened
(Nothing we did wrong, I promise haha). We are happy to be here another 6
weeks:)
Before I share about our new
investigator, I want to share something that really hit me this week. I
was studying about family one morning and just touching base with a lot
of things about family. I decided to read an article in the Ensign
about my Great Great Grandpa, Joseph Fielding Smith. It was exactly what
I needed to read. I loved learning more about him and the type of man
he was. Two phrases stuck out to me that everyone remembered about him.
He was a "defender of the faith" and "True and Faithful". He always
prayed he would be True and Faithful and that the people of the church
would be as well. He is part of my family and I am proud to be. Learning
about your family history is amazing. There were things that I found
similar between us two which I loved as well. Family History really
connects you to the past and, to me at least, makes me feel closer to
them and the veil because I know they are real and they know me. Just
something I loved this week.
Ok, so get this. We have two investigators with a baptism date and we are hoping to set a third one this week!
We
received a referral from the Elders this past week about a young man
named O**. He just walked up to them asking questions. A couple days
later we met with him and were astounded to see just how prepared he was
by the Lord. He was already halfway through the BoM that the Elders had
given him and he knew it was true. He wanted to know more and be
baptized. We had a lesson with him yesterday before church (He came to
church after!!) and he is working to be baptized on April 29!! He is so
excited and we are too!
Then! Remember B**
and J**? He made it to church yesterday! He came to sacrament mtg
during his lunch break and wished he was able to stay, but had to go
back to work. We met with them last night and he is working towards May 6
for his baptism!
And then! We are meeting with
our third investigator A** this week and hoping to set him working
towards April 22. We are so excited for them!
It
was a good week despite the downs we had this week. We are excited to
keep working here in Paso and continue watching the members getting more
involved and watching our investigators progress.
Oh
wait, I forgot...The Book of Mormon challenge we did with the youth? They won! haha so Sis C and I had pie in our faces. I'll include
pictures haha. It was fun and the youth loved it.
I hope you all have a good week and that you remember that you are loved:):)
