I feel
like I start with this every week, but I have no clue where to start!!
Except that I am so happy :) I am glad you guys sound like you had
a good week!! Tell Michael he is awesome and to keep up the good work!!
Tell him to keep studying and take the ACT again so he can get
scholarships and get school paid for!!
Anyway so this week was
pretty great :) Except 9 of our lessons canceled this week so we kinda
felt like failures and were all down and stuff until the woman's broadcast
which was AMAZING!!! The Spirit of the broadcasts are so awesome and so
different than watching it later or reading it. Because it is live and so
many people around the world are watching it at the same time. Sometimes
we feel like we are alone here and the church is struggling, but when I see so
many people in the conference center it reminds me I have brothers and sisters
all around the world who are going through a similar thing. WE ARE NOT
ALONE!!! and we are never meant to be :)
So Andrea and Julian got
married on Monday and we got to be witnesses it was pretty cool!! They have
adorable little kids!! Then when we were walking out of the court house
Julian (who is LA) says now that you guys witnessed our marriage you will see
us at church Sunday!! We didn't even have to invite them!! When we
teach people and help them feel the spirit they will do what is right!
Another investigator who has been sick called and said she already had a
ride and would be at church Sunday as well!!! It was amazing to see
miracles happen because of prayers and faith and just trusting in the Lord :)
We did A LOT of service
this week for a quilting convention that was happening and then we helped
Julian clean up a football field with his team. His kids were there and
we played with them a bunch. The rules about us not holding little kids is
HARD especially when they jump on you! But exact obedience :) OH
and Andrea has accepted to be baptized but it is going to be difficult because
she is pregnant. She was due on May 21, but the doctor said he may have
miscalculated and she might be due at the first of May, but she thinks it will
be even sooner! So yeah we are praying that everything will work out.
We are so excited for
conference this weekend!!! There is nothing like listening to the
prophets and apostles while on your mission!! It is SO amazing!! I
encourage you to watch it live and take notes!! Oh funny mom you asked me
a couple of weeks ago if I ever speak in church. The Sunday after that I
spoke and then I spoke yesterday and last week we taught Relief Society :)
So we keep busy on Sundays. But we taught about the importance of
Conference and how we should spiritually prepare for it. So get ready :)
Pray for understanding and for certain questions to be answered!!
I love you guys and hope
that you have an amazing week!! Keep smiling and having fun :)
