LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS HERE!!! MOST AMAZING WEEK!
last week we went contacting at Super Store (where we live basically) and we started talking to a really cute YSA girl named Jessica! we ended up getting her phone number and going for tea and we sat down and told her who we were and we are there to help her and she opened up SO much about all the things that have gone on in her life just in the past 2 weeks.. her ex boyfriend was killed in a car accident and shes just looking for something to cleanse her. we told her all about baptism and having a fresh start and she was SO EXCITED. she commited to November 28!!! the next day we met up again and asked her her thoughts lately and she said "i've been thinking so much about my baptism and being clean and i told my family and they support me!!" SHE IS SERIOUSLY A MIRACLE
SARRAH AND NICK ARE OUR FAVORITE COUPLE!!!!!!!!!! (not married yet tho...) we met for chinese food and had told them before that when they come, they have to have a baptism date in their mind. the minuete we sat down.. sarrah looks at him and says "if i get baptized will you?" and nick said YES!!!!!!! we ended up talking and committing them to November 21. they are so amazing, the adversary is trying SO HARD. Sarrah hurt her back and sprained her ankle and is just struggling. Nick is feeling is the dumps too.. HE'S TRYING SO HARD BUT HE WON'T GET THEM DOWN!! they are amazing. and they are examples of following what God wants us too.
A SWEET LESS ACTIVE FAMILIES KIDS COMMITTED TO BAPTISM ON NOVEMBER 13 AND THEY ARE SERIOUSLY THE CUTEST! WE LOVE THEM SO MUCH. teaching children has become my favorite thing to do!!!!! "it is true intelligence for a man to take a subject that is mysterious and great in itself, and to unfold and simplify it so that a child can understand it." so i have done just as conference told us to, by simplifying our own testimonies and becoming simple as a child!!!
we're working so well with our Bishop and his wife!! we're teaching our Bishops wifes friend but she isn't progressing so we ended that quick and afterwards we were talking to Bishops wife and she looked at us and said, "sisters, i just want to find someone that i can help be baptized." I WANTED TO CRY. it was the sweetest moment. we're praying so hard that she finds someone!!! we're praying so hard for her!!!!!!!!
it's finally just sister Hemenway and I here.. we've had some nuts things going on in our zone with our sisters so we've been in a couple tri's... so it feels AMAZING to be back just with her. is that what it feels like when you're married and your kids leave you for a night? it like the most incredible thing. hahahaha
I LOVE YOU ALL AND I SERIOUSLY AM PUMPED EVERY DAY TO PREACH THE GOSPEL IT CHANGES LIVES AND PEOPLE ARE SO PREPARED FOR IT SO SHARE IT!!!
xoxo, sister ovard
