So that is soooo amazing that BYU keeps winning those big games!! Now let's not choke in those easy games. I miss BYU football. I loved it was a WHOLE family thing😜😘😘❤️❤️
So this week overall went really well! We got a lot of members out with us and they fellowshipped our investigators super super well! We were able to set a baptismal date with a guy named S and he really liked church. He came and you could tell he was surprised with how friendly everyone was. We had a member who just took him under his wing and took him to all the classes and introduced him to people and you could tell he felt comfortable. I got to go on an exchange with Elder Peay who is one of the DL's here and it went well. He's from Australia and is a hard worker. We went and saw his kid named R who was just baptized on Saturday that they worked with and we got to teach his mom as well which was awesome! Heaven wouldn't be heaven without your family right? She was just so so so appreciative because the ward helped her pay her electric bill and got them food from the store house because they're in a tough situation but because of Gods perfectly organized church the ward was able to quickly find her help which she appreciated. She said she believed this church was true just by the way the members love and act and the spirit hit me so strongly when she said that. People are watching us and the things we do and we need to be serving and helping in every way we can! It made me so happy to hear how well the members were treating her and how excited she was to get baptized soon after her son! We had a cool experience with some less active members and really put it down hard on them that they aren't keeping their baptismal covenants and need to come to church and get temple worthy. The spirit hit me super super strong here because I realized how little most members understand about the temple and the significance of it. If it wasn't for these temples this church would not exist. We need to be going to the temple as regularly as possible and stay absolutely worthy of entering into it. We won't fully realize the blessings of the temple until the afterlife, but our life can go to pot quick when quit going and making it a habit. Overall it was a really good week! We also had this random investigator who we were about to drop come to church which was awesome!! Something sparked inside of her and she got a second wind to progress more in the gospel and continue to learn more. We're excited to help her as much as possible. We them had a lesson with our investigator H who is getting married to a member and he read, came to church, listening to talks, watching Mormon messages and everything and it was such a sweet lesson! It's people like him that make you so happy as a missionary and really make you feel like Heavenly Father is blessing you with solid people. He is being changed by the gospel and I just feel so blessed to be a part of it and be a missionary here right now. His wife who was less active is coming back to church and is loving it and they're so much happier as a couple. You can tell it's truly been the gospel that's been binding them even closer together and it makes me super happy to see.
I hope you have a super good week Mom☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you thank you thank you for everything you do for me!!☺️☺️☺️ I appreciate it more then you know! You're just the best...
