My dear family and friends:
Dont have much time today. but let me shoot you the highlights of the week.
its been a busy one with the investigators. we have been working with 2 tweleve
year olds and they are ready for baptism but we need permission from their
parents and they are being very stubborn and not wanting to budge. it can be so
frustrating with those stinkin parents sometimes. but we are praying that the
lord will soften their hearts and have their eyes opened to the truth. i know
the lord can do it. remember my christmas miracle. I KNOW HE CAN DO IT! :) but
just keep them in your prayers and thoughts. their names are josue and
joel.
In speaking of my christmas miracle.....remember how i was able to bapitze
bryan? well we have been working with his sister sandra for months now and it
was evenutally time to say ¨hey you want to be baptized, yes or no?¨not in those
exact words but similar :) anyways the problem has been that she has doubts
about the word of wisdom because she drinks coffee to help with her studies. we
have been trying and trying to help her recognize things but no luck. and
then....she just dropped off the face of the earth it seemed like. we couldnt
find her for a month and half!!! but we had a meeting with her and it started
out way rough. ¨no i dont want ot get baptized, i am catholic and thats the way
i will be.¨ it was an interesting expericence for sure, trying to feel the
spirit and know exactly what to say. my comp testified of things and she
basically ignored him and then i took control of the situation. ¨¨hey look inot
my eyes¨and i was able to talk with her and ask her questions and i felt the
spirit like none other time before in my life. You could literally take a knife
and cut through it. it was like heavy and overpowering. it was the neatest
feeling i have ever had. i love when i begin to talk and then my mind is full of
things to say and honestly i am just opening my mouth and the words that the
lord wants her to hear are just coming out of my mouth. cant really describe it
in any other way. After i spoke my comp took a turn and we were both crying.
gosh it was so powerful. we should have a baptism this saturday. continue to
pray for her and that the lord will continue to pour out his spirit upon
her.
anyways with the others....its been rough....had to drop 3 more and maybe 3
more htis week. but this is the lords work, its his will, its his children and
his glory. who am i to interfere with his will. so we will continue to do our
part and teach and invite all to come unto christ. i love you all so much. i
hope you all have a fantastic week and are being faithful in your callings and
doing the basics that we all must do.
keep the faith, fight the good fight.
i love you all.
