This week was supa sweet!!! Thanks for all the birthday wishes, it is so much better to be 20 years old ;)
This week has been a week of miracles! We have had multiple tender mercies each day. We have met a man named Charles but he likes to go by Chuck this week. He was a referral from a member in Washington! He is so prepared! The first lesson we put him on date for baptism. He isnt married but wants to marry a mormon lady so he can be sealed in the temple. We have a good time teaching him! The goal is January 7th!
The lady we met while we were emailing a few weeks back is awesome! She loves the broncos haha. We have been teaching her and she should be at church next week and she is praying about baptism!
Last night we went by a part member families house. I have learned to be super bold especially if we are good friends. The conversation was on the topic of personal study. Bryant wasn't getting the most out of his studies so we gave him a few tips. We invited him to read about Joseph being sold by his brothers in Genesis. The conversation turned somehow to about his vision he had of the Restoration. We related it to 2 Nephi 3 when Lehi was teaching his son about the prophecy. While we were teaching and testifying, Bryants mother Ginene was sitting on the couch with us and her eyes were locked on us. We could see her wheels turning. After a few minutes she spoke up. She said while we were teaching she felt the Spirit for the first time touch her heart and tell her that these things are true. It was a miracle! We had the opportunity to set a goal for a baptism with her. The day is Valentines Day. It is amazing how the Lord works. 3 years ago her family, including her (now ex)husband and son, took the lessons. At that time she didnt receive her answer that she needed to be baptized but now after trials and humbling experiences she feels ready. It gives a whole new meaning to trusting in the Lord and his timing. Isaiah 55:8-9. Although she has some hurdles still to overcome, through the Atonement she will have the power to fulfill the will of the Lord.
