hello hello!
let's start with the brothers and sisters we are teaching!
Heber:
He is such a great person. He just wants to make sure he's left his
whole life behind before baptism. He just doesn't wan to be tempted the
same way afterwards and let Heavenly Father down. We focused on the
power of the covenants he would be making at baptism and the power of
the influence of the Holy Ghost. We decided to fast with him and he
asked for a priesthood blessing for strength and guidance. This is
probably the hardest fast i've ever done. There were dancing
strawberries in our living room this morning o.O but i'm so grateful for
the opportunity to be there to support him. He's still on date for the
27th.
Roberto and Efrocinda are the cutest.
They are from Chiapas Mexico and they want to be baptized. We took them
to the visitor's center and watched "God's plan for families" and the
spirit was so strong. Efrocinda is still married in mexico so we are
working on the divorce so we can get them married. They were in church
this sunday! Miracle! so we were on splits Saturday and I took our Ward
mission leader to go see them and Roberto was going to have to work
sunday and couldn't go. We invited him to pray for Heavenly Father to
open the path for him to be able to attend. He gets a call right before
he leaves saying the job site will be closed for the day. How awesome is
that!?
Jaime: Remember him?? 15 year old part
member family. Mum is less active. anywho we didnt have a car all this
week because the bumper is getting fixed cuz of the car crash and we
were on bikes so we couldn't get out to him. So he calls friday night
and says he missed us coming over and said he had done his reading and
asked if we could come over the next day. So we strapped on our helmets
and rode our bikes over! what a journey haha luckily on the way back it
was all downhill. Well we met with him and he said he'd been praying
about baptism. He's so close I can feel it :D
I'd
say that's the highlight. We got a new missionary this week so we are
in a trio. His name is Elder Tim. He is just the best. He reminds us to
be a little bit "boulder" badumpsh....okay he's our pet rock...but he's
been making his way all the way through st. george!
we continue to teach elvia through the phone and she is just the best! she is already reading mosiah! what a great inspiration!
Heavenly
Father really tried us this week....we really doubted we could make
standards but we said we were going to go forth with full faith and ride
our bikes through all of st. george if we had to. Guess who made it??
Yup :D I'm so grateful for the blessings Heavenly Father pours upon us
as we are diligent and obedient and act with an open heart and full of
faith. He really provides whenever we fail if we are humble and seek
Him.
I Love you all!
