So, life is still pretty stinking awesome! I dunno if you guys ever get tired of hearing that, but you shouldn't, cause its so true. This week was so full of grace and miracles, and it was just amazing. Lots of really cool experiences, I hope I can remember all of them. Probably won't, so pay attention! :D Cause they're really cool. I mean it.
Haha so first off, we had an amazing lesson with Randy, Nikki, and ChrissAnne. They were about to get kicked out of their apartment last week cause they couldn't find a job, and it was pretty scary. But Friday night, we went over with the Battraws, a couple that just got back from serving a mission in South America, and the spirit was very strong the whole time. Randy was crying a lot, just wanting help and direction from God. We showed Moroni 10:3-5, and told him the pattern for receiving answers to prayers from that. We promised him that if he got down on his knees right then, and said a prayer, that an answer would come. So he got on his knees and prayed with all his heart. And the answer came, from a source none of us thought it would. 5 minutes later, the Brother Battraw offers them both a job working in his house, fixing it up after they had been gone for so long. It was an answer to their prayer, and it was just amazing the spirit that was there. They came to church for the first time on Sunday, and they said they enjoyed it and will come back next week. I was just amazing to see how the Lord will work through people.
We had a lot of people come to church for the first time yesterday, and they all had a fantastic experience and the members just welcomed and fellowshipped them really well. It was really cool to see them all there and people introducing themselves to them, and..... just.... miracles!! everywhere. :D It was an awesome day yesterday.
Everything is going well with Paul, he's committed to live everything, and he's going to get baptized on Friday! We're putting the program together tonight, and everyone needs to come because the spirit at baptisms is very strong. We're excited for him.
Chris and Chrissy... will wait till next week, don't want too much information. But they're amazing! and another miracle. Chrissy's preparing to get baptized next month, (Chris is a LA) and everyone's loved her so far. Randy's family is as well, so if everything goes to plan, next month is looking really good.
Oh yeah, Steph's great grandma died, so that's taken up her whole week, we only got to see her once. So hopefully she'll have a lot more time this week. And hopefully she quit that second job she works on Sunday! God will bless her for it. :D
Anyways, I'll send some pictures of the baptism, and hopefully I didn't forget too much! Life is just grand. I just love you all! Have a fantastic week! :D
