The Week

Hey!

This week wasn't too eventful compared to last week! 

Ha one thing that we did do was help the YSA Sisters with a service project they were helping one of their members with. Guess what it was! A car wash! It was like I was back on Dance Co, it was so trippy! I even held some signs at one point! Good times, good times!

We are teaching a lot of practice lessons to our members to keep up our teaching skills. What is great is that these lessons are benefiting everyone. One family we are teaching is a blended family and the oldest son is not baptized. His parents are hoping that these lessons will help him at least learn and understand more about what they believe. He's been coming to church with them, though, and this week he stayed for Sunday School! 

You might be wondering how the H** family is doing. Please pray for them! It's been super hard to get in contact with them over the last several weeks (we've had so many phone problems lately with two different phones). We were going to meet with them Saturday but she texted us saying they just needed time to themselves and that they need a break from church. She is struggling, wondering if she is being honest with herself. Her testimony is there and I know she knows it's true, Satan is just working so hard on them! Pray for them!

One more little miracle, though, was that we were able to meet the husband of a couple that has been on our minds since the first day Sister M** and I came into Santa Maria! They are never home because they work all the time. We were walking around the neighborhood, though, and felt like we should just go try them again and we are so happy we followed that prompting! We are going to try and set up a time, if possible, to meet with both him and his wife!

Zone Conference is tomorrow so I'll report on that next week!

Everyone please stay safe. We only hear so much of what is going on in the world, but from what we are hearing, it sounds like a lot is going on.  We've heard some about the fires up north. We don't see a lot of smoke, but we can smell it sometimes. A member in our ward has a son serving in Mexico right now as well. Amidst all the things going on though, I love hearing how people are uplifting and supporting one another. We are all brothers and sisters.

Thank you for everything you are doing to help the people around you! The little things count just as much as the big things!

xoxo, Sister G
