THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME!

WOW! This week was amazing.... where do I start? Well... we got 2 new investigators this week :) One is super solid and the other has soo many questions! its wonderful!

 

So the first one is Moose (nickname but goes by it), he is a family friend of the Hs and he got to the point in his life where he wanted to change. C stopped by and talked to him a little and invited him to church. Moose came to church and met us and we taught him a lesson Friday night. He had started to read the books that C had given him and basically asked us when the soonest he could be baptized, and then said an amazing closing prayer, where he told God that he was so thankful for the Hs and the Sister missionaries for helping him come closer to God... It was so amazing! :) 

 

Then there's B. We went over to a new members house to see the new member and B was there. She started asking so many questions it was great! We spent almost 2 hrs answering her questions :) She felt the spirit several times and pointed it out to us, but she didn't know what it was, she just knew that it was good. We got onto the topic of the plan of salvation, the part where when we die we go to either a state of happiness or a state of sadness, but that it was not a permanent condition, that those who were unhappy could learn about Christ and the Atonement and repent and become happy. Then she asked what we thought about those who committed suicide. We told her that those people also had the chance to repent and to learn and grow and become happy and that they were not damned to hell but had the chance to change and live with God again. She started to cry and told us that her dad had committed suicide a year or two ago and that everyone at her church told her that there was no hope for him. She then asked what she had to do to make it so that her dad could live with God. We told her that he would have to have his baptism and temple work done. She then asked how she could get that done, so we explained to her and then we asked her if she wanted to be baptized, she said that she did, but that she didn't think that she would be ready for a while. So we gave her a Book of Mormon and she was so excited!

 

So update on the whole moving thing -  we got word that we are officially probably going to go Centralia and the Elders will go to Carlyle. :) Yay! but probably not until transfers (feb 11) this transfer has FLOWN BY! 

 

Scripture: Jacob 2:18-19 one of my first weeks here we went to a members house and for fun did a little psych-analysis and one of the questions pertained to how we saw and what we thought of and how we value money... so it was kinda cool seeing how the scriptures teach us to handle wealth... :)

I love you all sooo much!
