What a great message to make sure you are always ready for anything the Lord may call on you for! Way true for members and missionaries alike!
Investigators are doing great! No dates yet and we are just trying to plan for those now. We have found some new great potential last week and really want to work with them so things should get going good!
That is so true getting new members in the temple as soon as they are baptized!! I too think that if they just get in their for baptisms while waiting and preparing for endowments the next year, they will be so much the more strengthened! Way to go! I am so proud of all your work! Wow that's great with the temple time!! Way neat especially with all the returned missionaries there and getting the spirit of everyone boosted!! Way neat! I say hello back to all of them!!
That's way cool! Man you had quite the birthday slam! I am happy all worked out! So, is the tramp going to be moved around as things get set up or is it set?
Wow you had quite the time!!!!!and sweet birthday present!!! I can't wait! and so the bishop's family just rode up on their dirt bikes and fourwheelers to the back yard just like that!? That is so cool!!!! And wow that birthday meal and dessert sound great!! I am glad it all worked out!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I know it was last week but I didn't talk to you then so...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nettie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes, you are all forgiven and yes, you did make up for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Family!!!!
Well last week I didn't have many emails and this week, BOOM! Got 29! thanks! I totally loved it!This week has been great! It seems like with certain companions you get more "good" experiences than others and lately I have been pondering on that.
I have had times of almost 100% "good times" and lately I wanted more of that. And....this past week became great!
To begin, last week we were housing a bit and nothing was effective there. So Elder Brox said "lets pray!" So of course we did. I felt to go to this one less actives house, not knowing why. Also, one thing you need to know is we had some extra cookies we made for less actives who weren't home.
So once I told Elder Brox who I felt we should visit he remembered it was her birthday in a few days!! Perfect! Well, she was at work but we made a successful delivery.
After we took an ice cream break and there was this one place I have been eyeing since I got here. There are always foreigners in this cool restaurant and I haven't been able to get it out of my mind for ever.
So, we took that is inspiration and went! Miracles! Right as we walked in the lady walked up to us, looked at our name tags (and I thought we were about to be kicked out!) and asked if we were Mormons? Long story short she home stayed about ten years ago in Idaho Falls!!!!! Crazy! So of course the family she stayed with were LDS and she loves Mormons!
Since that day, less than a week ago, she has readily accepted lessons 1, 2, and 3 pamphlets and the Book of Mormon! All from little promptings we now have her (who ends up being the owner of this restaurant!) and her sister as investigators with HUGE potential!
From that point I have noticed other times throughout the week where God has answered my prayer in other ways. It has been a great week and I truly know God listens to us and answers our concerns!
Also, yesterday I have found the new Elder Parks scripture...Alma 36:24-25. When I read that the other day in study I totally connected! That is how I feel, that is what I know!!
Ever since Dad told me I will see success back in November I have really been pondering that. And, I have seen it! I know the Lord uses us to find, teach, and baptize those He has prepared. The work is true. This church is the true church. We have everything we ever need to be happy!I love you all!
