This week has been anything but boring. We had so much to do
this week and still so much to do. I guess that's a good thing we all know how
I like to stay busy so its better that I am busy than doing nothing. We are really
trying to get more set appointments every week and we are getting more and more
investigators. We met a part member family this week named the Watson's. Brother Watson isn't a member but Sabra his wife is. He had the missionary
lessons with 3 different sets of elders. while going through our directory we
cam across there name and decided to give them a call. Sister Watson answered
and at first she was really hesitant then sister Tiongson told her that sisters are way different and she totally told us to come over and she would make sure
her husband was there. We went over and talked with them and they are so sweet
and kind, we committed both of them to pray and they agreed. Brother Watson then
commented that he wants a better relationship with Christ. Which we can help
with. They asked us to come back so we are going to start teaching them
regularly.
So we have another investigator named Jenny she just turned
18 and is amazing. The elders are the ones that started teaching her but she
ended up being in 4th ward. But she is so excited about baptism and she is
definitely ready. So she is going to be baptized on the 8th of march. We
also have a baptism on the 15th for Paul and Leah Young who are brother and
sister. They both came to church this Sunday by themselves and totally took
themselves to primary and everything, It was so funny me and Sister Tiongson
were cracking up.
This week on Saturday we went with one of our investigators
Courtney to the Pearson house in 2nd ward. There were about 10 people there all
to support Courtney. She decided she wanted a priesthood blessing and she set
the whole this up and came over and picked us up to go to it. It was hilarious.
But she left on Sunday to go to Baltimore for surgery and so she wanted it
before she left. the spirit was really strong and she expressed a desire to
learn and sincerely seek the church when she gets home in a week. The power of
the priesthood is amazing and I know she felt that. She really is an amazing
person who I have grown to love so much and I cant wait for her to get back and
recover quickly. She really wants to be a kind and loving person for everyone
and she definitely looks out for us missionaries that's for sure.
This week we have had so many people to contact and we still
do, its amazing how much the work has grown here and how fast it has too. On
Friday this week we have a break the fast for the 40 day missionary fast that
we have been doing. everyone has to bring a non member so it will be a big
night. We are hoping for a big turn out. Of course as you can imaging I am over
the moon, because we got to help plan ( and we all know how much I love
planning!) But we are doing breakfast for dinner and the youth are doing the
program, which is hilarious its a" not so talent- talent show". I'm really
excited it will be a fun night.
Yes i did get you V-day package it cane on valentines day
actually. which was awesome. everyone Loves it and everyone love the patches on my
bag (and my bag for that matter) Its funny because MoHo is a military town so i
get lots of complements on my stuff. haha.
Over all it has been a really successful week and I just
cant believe i have been out for almost 3 months its crazy but I have loved
every minute of it. I love you guys lots
Love you all!
