Monday we got a lot done. We had dinner at Sister Parsons and she cooked Filipino food which was so good, and there was a less active family that came and it was awesome to see them and get to talk to them. We also got a referral from the Elders, His name is Steve and we were able to set and appointment with him.
Tuesday we had so many lesson it was so great. We met with Lisa She read the Book of Mormon!!!, and she told us that she knows we are here for a reason and she is reading the Book of Mormon for a reason she just wants to know why. we committed her to pray about it and to see what God thinks she should do. She said she would keep reading and pray. We also met with Madison Smith she is 8 years old and awesome she wanted me to write in her Book of Mormon and she said she had been praying. We read with her in Enos and she loved it so much she wants to come to church so bad and hopefully they will be able to come this next week. We also Met with a part member family we have been meaning to get over too. It was amazing. He is a member and she is not neither are there 3 kids. He said that they are hoping to be sealed in the temple one day!! It was awesome she was talking to us and said that everyone always told her that the missionaries are really pushy and what not, she told us though that all she ever wanted was for the missionaries to come by!! We just started laughing and we set a regular appointment with them. They are so nice and fun He reminds me so much of Dad it was crazy!

Wednesday we finally met with Steve and his wife. He is
really nice and knows so much about the scriptures it was crazy. We talked for
an hour about the bible and tree of the knowledge of good and evil and what it
was about, my head hurt a lot! haha but he said he would read the Book of
Mormon and we committed him to read 1 Nephi chapter 8, about Lehi's dream and
he was really interested in it so we are hoping that he will be able to read
it.
Thursday we had a meeting with Teresa and we talked about
the temple and about the priesthood. Even though she isn't a member all of her
family is and she knows so much about the gospel. We were also able to meet
with Courtney, she is feeling so much better after her surgery and she looks so
much better too. She really wants to find out if this is the true church and if
this is where she wants to be. She is so amazing and I am so grateful she is in
my life because she shows me how to put Christ in all things and to rely on him
wholly. I love her so much and am so grateful to her.
Friday we met with the Harmans they are a part member family
and their son is 9 years old and they want him to be baptized. I was awesome we
have a new investigator who also has a baptismal date! which was way cool! I
also got a package from the Kings which was so awesome and I loved it so
much! and I got a letter from Barry Baker and I was just over the moon
with excitement! I love hearing from everyone and how everyone in doing!
Saturday the Spanish elders and the Sisters had baptism
so we went to help out with those and they were amazing baptismal services
the Spanish elders had over 100 people at there's it was crazy!
Sunday we had 2 investigators at church which is huge for
us! We met with sister Guest and we talked to her about getting to the temple
and she is so excited! her husband isn't a member and it has been hard for her
but she is so strong and is so determined to get to the temple. We also met
with the Footes another Part member family and Brother Foote made us root beer
floats which were so good! We had dinner at the Fosters, We had pizza and
Potatoes it was great! Can’t have dinner here without potatoes right? They are
so funny and crazy! We had a lesson with the Watsons Sunday night we taught
them about faith snd having the courage to do the Lords will and we invited
them to pray to know what God wants them to do and then have the strength to do
it! the spirit was so strong and I know that they can do it!
Its amazing to me how much love I have for everyone I know
it’s not me but merely the Lord working through me and I just have to be in
tune with the spirit enough to know what to say and do. I know that its
not my will anymore its not what I want to do but what the Lord wants me to do.
It has been such a huge blessing in my life to be able to devote all my time
and attention to the Lord. It’s really hard not going to lie some days are bad
and some days I really don't want to get out of bed. But It’s so worth is to
see someone feel the spirit and to feel it yourself its amazing! I love you
guys so much and I am glad everything is going well (other than Adam getting
Beat up) But truly I am so grateful that I was able to be raised in this
church and now have the opportunity to serve my Savior. Thank you so much! Love
you guys so much!!
