This week was awesome!! We found two new
investigators. One is a man in his 60s. He recently had a stroke so is now in
the local nursing home, Manor Care. We were able to leave him with a Book of
Mormon and a pamphlet. We will be going back to read the Book of Mormon with him
and teach the discussions. Our second investigator is R. She was referred to us
by a less active member in the Eagle Canyon Ward. R has been going through a
rough divorce and already has such great faith in the Lord. She is Christian,
but hasn't been attending a church around here. She is currently looking for one
and we were able to show up at just the right time! She has been so prepared. R
was very receptive to all we had to say and she is planning on reading the Book
of Mormon! We are excited to see what happens as we go back and
visit.
Pat is continuing to progress. Sunday morning, he
called us before church to let us know that he'd be there! He also called us
this morning to confirm that we'd
be meeting with him this week! It is exciting to see that he is contacting us
before we are contacting him. That is huge!!!
Rita was able to share her testimony at a fireside
yesterday evening. She was telling
us just the other day how she feels that she needs to share her conversion more
so she can keep the fire of her testimony alive. She has one powerful testimony
of the gospel of Jesus Christ too! Her son Cameron blessed the sacrament for the
first time on Sunday! He did so
well! Their family is doing amazing and are continuing to progress in the
gospel.
We are starting to work with Sister H's mom Janice.
Janice is a hoot and a half. She has a lot of spunk and just recently lost a
sister. The Bishop went over to talk with her and provide comfort during her
time of loss. She told him that if it weren't for her smoking habit, she would
be a mormon. So we are starting to build that relationship with her and build
her faith so that she will have a desire to quit smoking and be baptized. Janice
was a church on Sunday and she
really enjoyed the service!
I just have this strong feeling that we can see a
miracle this transfer. That someone in our area is prepared for baptism. I don't
know if we know them or not, but I know that someone is ready to receive the
gospel with their whole heart. I know that as we strive to be diligent and
exactly obedient, we will find them!
It's crazy how time is flying by and everyone is
growing up! I am so grateful to have this time to be a missionary in the Lord's
service, on His errand!
I love each of you so much and hope you have an
awesome week!!
