Wellllll Helllllooo Familyyyyy - Week 12
Okay so some sad news first. I'm officially done with training so Sister Bromley is getting transferred... yeah I know. She's goes to the straight ghetto I'm pretty sure (kinda jealous) hahaha literally everyone who asks where she's going goes "oh yeah don't drink the water there"
So that means I'm getting a new companion!.....Anddddddd I am training! So thats pretty scary/exciting. I still feel like I don't even know much. But I made a promise to God I would do my best to do his will. So If he thinks I can do it, I'll do it!
Our investigator (the wife of the couple we've been teaching) is preparing to be baptized at the end of the month! We will be finishing up her lessons this week. And getting her prepared to be able to go to the temple and get baptized for family names as well.
We Had FHE with this sweet family in the Ward this week. They are from Puerto Rico. They are the most Christ like family and truly are an inspiration to me.
We also had a pass off lesson this week with one of our investigators to YSA. Ah it was bitter sweet. He's so ready for the gospel. It's truly amazing just to watch. Still he comes with his notebook and his highlighted scriptures and just takes everything in. That pass off lesson was hilarious though, his neighbor was going crazy with a leaf blower so we were all yelling the whole time haha. He came to church yesterday too and he LOVED it. The elders even lost him because he was off making friends. His family is very friendly and so sweet, but didn't show any interest in hearing about the gospel. I'm sure he will make all the difference though.
We had a lesson with another investigator (who we also need to pass off to YSA:(
He came with a lot of questions. He's a sweet kid. He goes "okay so you know how the Book of Mormon says I need to read it and ponder it?" And we're like "yeah?" And he proceeds to tell us how he made this hut in the woods to go read the scriptures and pray about it like Joseph Smith. So sweet. He's hard to meet with though because his family are really strong in the baptist church.
We've seen a couple of people this week whom not totally sure if they are interested in converting but more just learning. Eh I figure the spirit testifies of truth either way, truth is truth. If they aren't willing to make efforts to know it's true after a while, that's different. But everyone deserves a chance to hear it.
We had this cute young couple move into our Ward. They haven't been active since they were married. But the wife is way into art so we had a lot to talk about. I'm really excited to get to know them more. we might be soul sisters.
Also! We went on another temple tour this week with an investigator. It went really well, he really enjoyed it. He came to church to say goodbye to sister Bromley as well.
I'm excited to do a lot of finding this next week with my new companion. I'm picking her up on Tuesday so that will be fun! A member gave me a cute idea to get green food coloring and make her a "Greenie breakfast" so if you have any other cute ideas to do for her, please let me know.
I have just been thinking a whole lot about Jacob this week. What an amazing chapter in the Book of Mormon. So simple and short. He is a perfect example of doing the lords will and having faith in the lords strength. He knows that god can do anything and will do it through him, if that be his will. I want to be like Jacob. Not here to impress anyone but to please God.
Love you all
