Hello!! This week was again very good! We have been working hard and it feels GREAT!
1. We had a tour with a member referral, Denise. She committed to baptism but then our next appointment fell through and so we sent up another one for this week.
2. We also had lessons with Joshua. He is really starting to mature and he shared an amazing experience he had this weekend at the visitors center with his dad. There one of the sisters that I actually went to college with gave him the tour and asked him to go into one of the rooms and pray about when to be baptized. Last night he told us he wants to be baptized next month, on the 15th. He said he is still praying about it for sure. it is great to be so blessed to watch these people grow and their countenance change. I LOVE IT!
3. Speaking of countenances changing, Seth. He has been praying for forgiveness for somethings in his past, it happened long ago we don't know how to help him with restitution. He has his baptismal interview Saturday to see if he can be baptized on Sunday! He has really changed and is willing to do what he needs to be baptized. It is amazing to see the difference in him just the way he acts and smiles with the gospel in his life.
4. For weekly planning which takes about 3 hours, my companion and I planned outside to try to get some color.... nothing really happened. next day, we go out and walk the streets to contact... I get red. What?! Oh well, it is now a tan :]
5. So I know that I have been known to talk in my sleep... but this past week apparently I told my companion, "Your hairs messed up." And she said, "You cant even see me" She then realized I was asleep :]
6. As soon as I tell you this I will have a bad one but so far we haven't had any bad meals with members! They have been super yummy!
7. At church yesterday I heard this quote, "We are a church of u-turns" We all make mistakes and we have to make a "u-turn" to get back to where we know we need to be. I thought it was a cute but true quote.
8. Favorite scripture this week... Jacob 1:7 and 9... I know that I want to do my best because I don't want the sins of California hanging over my head :] I love missionary work!!
Thank you for ALL you do!
LOVE YOU!!
Sister Arbogast
