Hello!
We got our transfer calls yesterday and.............................
I am staying in Beach ward with Sister Greener! We are very happy :)
I am staying in Beach ward with Sister Greener! We are very happy :)
This last week has been awesome :) One of our investigators, Destiny,
got baptized on Wednesday!!! Yay! It was a sweet, small service and she has
already moved to Rexburg with her husband and baby to attend BYUI. My favourite
part was definitely when she was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints and she received the Holy Ghost (we did it at the
baptism since she was moving a couple days after.) The spirit was so, so
strong! I could feel it rush into the room and envelope this new member of
God's church. It was a very special moment and I feel blessed and privileged to
have been able to witness it :)
We also got to meet with some investigators that have been eluding us
for a few weeks again. It was really good to see them! One of them, Karie, we
met with at the church because it was raining and we usually meet her in a
park. I am so glad for the spirit that resides in our dedicated church
buildings! It really helped Karie to feel of God's love and let the spirit bear
testimony to her of the truths we were sharing.
Saturday was New Year’s Eve and we got to spend it (til 9pm of course)
with a special member of our ward named Ruth. I love Ruth so much, it hurts me
that she is moving in a few weeks. She is older and her health is rapidly
declining so she is moving in with one of her sons about half an hour away, but
she still wants to continue attending our ward. Even if she does, we won’t be
able to visit her so much since she will be so far away :( She can’t really
leave her apartment right now so we go see her and read the book of Mormon
since she cannot attend church. I just can’t even express how much I love her!
A member gave us some sparkling grape juice for New Year’s Eve, so that
was nice :) I woke up at midnight because of the sound of the fireworks, so I
guess you could say that I basically celebrated New Year at midnight haha
Our ward has switched to 9 am church so... not a ton of people showed
up. It's also gonna be a lot harder to
get investigators there... but I'm sure the Lord will provide a way! I'm
starting to learn that what the angel told Zacharias in the New Testament is
true : nothing is impossible for the Lord!
We also had a member make a dutch oven meal for us last night and it was
sooo good! :) All in all a pretty good week!
Pictures to come later! Sorry! but hopefully late today... all the
libraries are closed so we email at the family history centre so we get less
time.... Love you!
