FAMILY!!! Today I read Doctrine and Covenants 131. . Wow!! I
just hit 14 months last Monday. Time is flying by and I am loving every second
of helping the Lord!
This week has been WONDERFUL! Sister Lima and I are seeing so
many miracles and blessings. We thank our Father in Heaven every second we can.
He is helping us, and we feel His hand in all we do. We feel the ward leaders
support us and we are supporting them even more. I know that is where the
success is coming from. The ward is seeing the work move forward and so I know
that things will start picking up. We are hearing more and more of members that
are working with their friends and preparing them to meet with us. It is truly
INCREDIBLE!!! It rained all weekend. Of course it would because we were on
bikes. Ha-ha we stayed mostly dry though. Because when it was a down pour we
were inside teaching. Then when we would leave on our bikes it would stop. . Inside
teaching it would start again. Hahahaha the LORD LOVES US!!!!! Tender Mercy. We
had a lot of fun this week. I love missionary work because it is FUN! Sister
Lima and I laugh constantly, and half the time we don’t know why or at what! Lol
Gayle was baptized and confirmed this weekend. It was a
beautiful service and the spirit was sweet.
We have Katherine getting baptized and confirmed this weekend.
Yesterday in the middle of R.S. the topic was personal revelation. Katherine raised
her hand and told everyone that she "is getting baptized this
Saturday." Sister Lima and I looked at each other and knew without a doubt
that the spirit was giving her personal revelation right then and there and she
was so excited and happy that she wanted to share her "good news." It
was a surprise to us but so moving! We know that all the women in there felt it
too.
Diane is progressing towards her baptism on May 5. She is getting more and more
excited about it. We learned that Cecil (her brother) bore his testimony in
Elder's Q. about his missionary experiences with helping his sister come to the
truth and talking to all his neighbors. So awesome!!
Angela- she is such a miracle. The spirit has been preparing her for this
gospel her whole life! She loves learning and "it all feels good in her
heart." She is set to be baptized on May 12 and she can't wait! I love
teaching her!!! And seeing the Spirit enter her heart.
Jathan is a cute 9 yr old- member referral we are teaching. He is so smart and
has been reading the bible and tells his grandma all about what he has read and
what he learned. We hope that this excitement will activeate his mom. We are
also teaching an awesome Jamaican lady! Beverly. She is so respective.
We love all these investigators. It is such a blessing to see
the Lord work in them. Seeing them repent is the most wonderful sight to see.
Thank you everyone for all the support you are to me. I love you
all so much! Your letters are inspiration to me and yes to even sister Lima!
Keep working hard and keep praying for missionary experiences! They are out
there. .open your eyes and mouth and see it all happen!!
