Hello family!! I know all of you are out and about but here are a few of the happenings from week 4 in Pasadena!
1. On Mormon.org (the only website I get to go on besides my email) I got to watch an AMAZING video about a woman who was burned and how she has had to change her whole life and not dwelling on her "old" life. Her video if you feel so inclined to watch it is called, "My New Life" Warning:its a tear jerker.
2. We are teaching this less active man and we have been trying to have him pay attention to the way he feels during prayers with his family and such. We watched Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration with him. First of all, lights came on and he had a little misty eye and we asked him if he could feel that spirit and he goes, "Yes. I felt it" He is cracking! He never would have admitted to feeling the spirit. So he is coming, slowly but surely.
3. Met with Cesar this week and we talked about temples, eternal marriage and family history. he is SO in tune with the spirit! He asked when he could go and we told him a year so August 2012. He asked if we would be there and we told him OF COURSE!! The next day he went to the Newport temple to take pictures and he was telling us how excited he is to be able to go in there and be even closer to God. He is solid. Love it!
4. With another less active we were able to teach her about Christlike Attributes and where we can improve. She knows and since she has changed her reading of the Book of Mormon to everyday. She also has not been smoking for 22 DAYS!! We are SO proud of her!
5. We met with Kevin who is a less active who hasn't been to church in about 12 years. He showed up on Sunday!! We were able to met with him later that night with our mission presidents daughter in law. He just unloaded the trials that were going on in his life and how he has really turned it over to the Lord. He has been praying and fasting. He said that he knew he was gone for a little bit because he thought he knew better but he knows now how wrong he was. He knows that church is where he needs to be. He is such a sweet man.
6. Sister Pack was told she was going to be the next Canadian Idol... lucky me!
7. So lately we have been coming home and our apartment smells like something has died in it. We cleaned out our refrigerator, our cupboards, everything! We have NO clue where this smell is coming from!! We hopefully will figure it out soon cause its gross.
8. This morning we got to do a fun workout... no not washing the car. A sister in our ward went to the Rose Bowl and walk/jogged around it! It is 3.2 miles and yeah... it was actually fun and we did it!! Sister Pack was not happy but I think she didn't mind it after we finished.
9. Favorite scripture this week... Jacob 3:1-2 It talks about how we need to FEAST on God's love. I love it. He loves us, even when we feel there is no way he can he does. He is there and we need to feast on it. I just LOVE it!
Miss you all and LOVE you!!
Sister Arbogast
