FAMILY!!
Can you believe that June is OVER, and JULY is here! CRAZY!!!
I still can't believe how fast June came and gone. I need to stop blinking. .
This week was AWESOME!!!! I have a short 10 min to write so let’s
hope I get in as much as I can! Ready, set, GO!
We had SEVEN people at church yesterday! MIRACLE! Carole was one of
them. . She will be getting baptized this Saturday Night (July 7)! So happy.
She is stellar. She is so easy to teach because she is prepared for the lessons
and she listens to the spirit. She is a hoot as well. Patrick and Sarah also
came to church. They loved it. Please pray for Sarah- she got a new job and
has to work on Sunday mornings. Bummer! But her work is hiring another person
so she hopes that that will help with her being able to at least come to church
in the morning. Sarah is awesome and has so much faith! We too are praying for
her, because she wants to be in church so bad, especially this one! They are
progressing. Patrick is set to be baptized on July 29; we know it will be
sooner when things are worked out with his life. Stephen King came to church!
Yeah!!! Hahahaha that was another Miracle! Robert and Diana were there. We are
still teaching them. . There is progress with his divorce so he and Diana can
get married. The Lord is hearing us; please pray for him as well.
We did service for a member and she couldn't find her
camera when we went over there. So of course we prayed with her. She doubting
the whole time. . Kept saying "it is gone, there is no way to find
it." We looked everywhere in her HUGE house . . . of course we found it! Ha-ha
she is the sweetest old lady. We prayed after we found it. She recognized that
the Lord helped. It was a really neat experience. We did service for a
gator. Elliot. We mowed his lawn. . BIG YARD! Dad you would be proud of me!!
WHAMMY the yard was shaka when we were done! We used the push mower and the
sitting mower! I have pictures too. Lol It was hot and for the first time in my
whole life I got sweat in my eye!! Hahahaha.
We are still teaching Gerald. He is always sick. .but loves
when we go and teach him. The other day he told us that he is sitting on the fence
. . . we didn't get too much detail. In his prayer he prayed that God would
help him get off the fence soon. . No problem. He was unable to come to church because
of his illnesses. But he is awesome and reading the BOM.
Here is a funny story.
Background: The sisters were doing service for a lady named Jane.
When I got her 5 months ago we went to go see her. In the lesson we taught we
invited her to read the Book of Mormon and promised her the blessings. She
accepted the invite. Well when we went back a few days later she FLIPPED on me because
I was "being too pushing", and "cramming the book down my throat."
She never liked me since then but we once a transfer would go and see her. She
loved sister Lima. Well. . I never did that I was fulfilling my purpose
has a missionary and helping her come closer to Christ.
Okay Saturday June 30 we were with a member and we went to see
Jane. She was so excited to see us. . It kind of surprised me. . Then it
started to make sense. Jane "You are back! I am so happy to see that you
are back!" I was so confused. . Then she started to bad mouth the sister
that had "left" "I feel bad for the people that that girl is teaching
. . . blah blah blah. . .” She was totally bad mouthing this sister and all. I
wish you could have been there. . Sister Walborn was super confused. I caught
on. Jane ever commented on how good I looked because "I lost weight."
Jane was talking to "Sister Peterson" and bad mouthing "Sister
Durr" I look NOTHING like sister Peterson. . And guess what. . We did
leave a message with her! Hahahaha I died laughing when we left and I explained
everything to the member and Sister Walborn. Poor old lady. She had no idea. .
I am thinking now I should have said you have the wrong person lady. . But
maybe next time!
I love this work sooooo much. There have been so many more
miracles this past week but I am out of time. I love you all SOOO much and miss
you lots! I hope you have a great 4TH OF JULY! Have fun watching the
fireworks!!!
Talk to you all Next week!

All My Love!
