I am really learning more and more the importance of the scriptures in our lives. I never thought it would be possible to love them more, or see them as even more important! They are our map! They will lead us home and give us the strength to get out of any situation we find ourselves in. The Lord loves us so very much. I can just tell by opening the Book of Mormon each day. I really can't believe all these people live without it from day to day. I can't teach if I don't read in the morning!
Well this week has been very eventful! I have been pretty sick, some kind of weird cold but I'm feeling much better now. it made for an interesting week. I had to sleep in twice which is a big deal! That means I didn't get to have personal study, so teaching on those days were especially difficult. But such a learning experience!
We met this amazing family I think I told you about. The husband is a less active member and so one day as we were searching out less actives we felt we should go see him. Before we even got to his house we saw a lady out in her yard and we felt to ask her where this family lived. She said they moved but directed us down the street to their new house. After we knocked on a wrong door we found ourselves on their door step.
But we have been teaching this guys ex wife and his twin 9 yr old daughters. They are very excited and I can just see how hungry they are for the truth. The ex wife owns the house, he rents out the bottom of the house, the kids live there, and her fiance I guess is there in the mix too. But they are doing great. We went and taught them the first lesson and they just loved it! Who couldn't love learning that Jesus Christ's church is on the earth again!!!! It's amazing! What a blessing to get to teach them.
We have a baptism planned for next week which we are really excited about. We have been working with her since I got here. They had been working with her 2 or 3 weeks before that as well. So we are getting all geared up for that one. She too is amazing and I love her so much. What a testimony she has!
We are continuing to work with a lot of really sweet less actives and I'm loving those learning experiences. They have such difficult questions because they know the gospel, so we have to have the spirit with us to be able to answer them!!!! It's hard, but it's a work and progress on my end :D
Well it's been a busy busy week and we are short on time today so I must run off to do crafts with Sister Sanders! I love you all and I miss you! and hope you have a wonderful day!!!!
love ya!
