Hello everyone!
This week has just been a huge roller coaster! Our area is
struggling just a little bit, we have been working hard to have lessons but no
one lets us in. We even had a great lesson with a couple last week and when we
returned for our next appointment they gave us our Book of Mormon back and said
if they want us to come they will call us. When things like that happen it can
be disappointing, but we have to remember to never get discouraged and keep
doing our very best and the Lord will do the rest.
Although there were a few lows this week, it was all made up
for by a beautiful baptism of two different investigators that I used to teach!
JJ is 13 and Juan is 80 and they are both truly amazing. I actually cried at
the baptism. It's so special to know that I was a small part of them taking the
step to follow Jesus Christ. Not only that, but providing them with a way to
achieve eternal life. There is literally nothing more important in the entire
universe. It's the only reason that God sent us to Earth, to be able to go back
to live with Him again. And now they can! And I was blessed enough to be able
to help them! Amazing!
Another cool thing that happened this week:
I checked out my family history and, long story short, ended
up discovering someone had done it on both sides of my family all the way back
to the 1500's!!!! And the temple work is in the process of being done for many
of my ancestors. I was thrilled and the family history consultants could not
believe it. One said they have never seen a family tree go back that far! So I
must have family on both sides who are members, who I don't even know about!
Well I'm out of time! Love you all!
