Excerpts from Mom's email:
So today was pretty great! The temple is always a great experience and I always receive an answer to a question, every time! Been so blessed to have that! As well this past week we were able to witness many miracles so I will share a few with you. Last Sunday, F... was confirmed a member of the Church and received the Holy Ghost! However did not go as smooth as the baptism. His son B.. got bit by something they think and he had an allergic reaction to whatever it was on his face. So he was late to sacrament meeting, but we knew in advance so we planned it to be in Priesthood instead. Then later he called again that they are taking B.. to the hospital because it was getting worse. So we had an emergency confirmation in the bishop's office. The good news is that the spirit was really strong during it and turned out really great. He has been keeping us up to date with B.. and all I know really is that he had a small surgery, but he will be fine. Hopefully we will be able to see them this weekend.
Week has been a good one with many ups and downs, but looking forward to the next! Will send lots of pics so no worries!
Love you!
Excerpts from Dad's email:
Hey Dad!
My week was fantastic! Haha went fast for me as well! Yeah F... is the coolest guy ever and his family is really cool too! Not all his family were there in the photo, like his son B.. and his daughter M.....
New investigators are doing good, most of them! In fact have a cool story about two of them. So we found this family of four: M...... and M... and there kids, B..... (around 6) and J...... (1). Such a nice family and when we found them I did not expect just how nice they are. We just helped some members move and afterward we decided to knock some doors on the street they moved to and turns out that right next door is this family. So just yesterday we taught them the restoration in a new way that the sisters showed us. It is with stacking these specially made cups (by the sisters) that shows the foundation of Christ's church and the importance of the priesthood. Illustrates the apostasy really well and it got the kids a little involved. I had B..... remove the cup on the bottom and it all falls. I'll have to video us doing it in comp study so maybe you can get what I mean. Anyways so by the end of the lesson, I could tell M...... was really thinking! She then asks probably the best questions she possible could have: how can I know, how do you baptize, ect. We invited them to baptism and she committed to Dec 24 and says she has a lot of reading to do in the Book of Mormon. M... still is not sure, but is fully supportive of finding out.
The mission over all has been doing really well recently! The work is surely hastening with over 100 new investigators as a mission last week and 12 of those were in our district alone. It is exciting to see and with the year coming to a close soon, we are always praying for our goal of 264 Baptisms in the year 2017! Miracles are happening and so blessed to be a part of it!
Man the heat has been getting up there already! The other day was 41 in the sun. Been doing really good with that though, have not been burnt at all yet and am in the sun constantly it seems like. Partially because I always am applying sun screen, but I think a lot because the lord protects his servants!
Love you and have a good week!
