Peeps,
Where to begin...
On Thursday we had a team up with us and we went to drop by
a less-active member's house and she let us right in even though we were
unexpected. We went inside and one of her friends were there. We talked with
them all for a while and then Elder Sparks and I did A little overview of the
Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ! Afterwards we asked if she'd
like to learn more and she said yes!! her name is Valerie and she loves what
our church does. She loves the fact the we have missionaries who serve the Lord
full time for 2 years and wishes other Christian groups would do it too! We're
going back on Friday to have another lesson with her!
Friday morning we got up and got ready right away and went
to an 8th grade promotion/ graduation thing for one of our less active members
who are starting to come back to church!! It was a solid 94 degrees and
everyone was dying and I was just sitting there like, "This isn't even hot
people!" I didn't even break a sweat while others were out there
practically melting! Props of growing up in AZ :). It was cool though. I've
never heard of a promotion ceremony to high school but it was fun! They kinda
treated it like they were like really graduating high school though. Kinda a
sad day when they realize they still have 4 more years to go!!!
On Saturday was jada's baptism and it was awesome!!!!!!1 We
started a little late but it happened! She got baptized! After about 2 years
she has finally gotten baptized! I'm so proud of her and the steps she is
taking to continue to better her relationship with God.
On Sunday, a little 8 year old boy who literally could be my
brothers twin got up and bore his testimony. the Spirit was so strong while he
bore it and he even started crying and had to stop so he could wipe away his
tears! At that point is when the WHOLE congregation started just bawling
because of this little boys testimony. It was so simple but it was so genuine
which is what made it so powerful. That can be the same as all of us. We may
not all have HUGE testimonies of the gospel, but if our testimonies our
genuine, no matter how long, can be some of the most powerful tools in our
lives. Just like the scriptures say,"By small and simple things can great
things come to pass". I love you all1! And hope everyone is having a
wonderful beginning to their summer so far!!
