Hello!! Here I am... my half way mark has come and gone with the work going good!
1. We went to Forest lawn last Monday. There was about 9 of us all on a mission to find where Michael Jackson was... WE FOUND HIM!! Well... the rumors says he was there and there were flowers to Michael there and a car outside with MJ stickers all over it. You could only go inside the building where he was if you knew the name and the place number so we took a picture outside hahah
2. Our mission President was at institute on Tuesday and we have a recent convert there so we got to go. He talked with us about having what he called a "Pillar of Light Experience" How we can have one in our lives to gain the testimony we need.
3. Cesar our Recent convert has never had a birthday party... so we put together a little surprise celebration for him. The Kohnles did most of it. They are amazing!!! But Cesar was SOO happy!
4. We invited Alice to be baptized!! She said no. BUT it was because her Catholic church is familiar but then the next day she came to church and was participating and nodding her head. Her prayers are still asking to help her to learn more and he receptive and open as she reads the Book of Mormon. We will she what happens. She might even come to the Relief Society broadcast Saturday!
5. A former investigator called us up to read the Book of Mormon with him over the phone... we did and then set up a time to come by that night. We had a lesson and read more then we set up our next appointment for Tuesday. His name is Andrew and he is GREAT! I hope this time around he sticks to it and keeps learning.
6. There was an open house at our church building... it had been under construction for 3 years and it was the 75th anniversary and re dedication. Each of the rooms had different displays. Like temples, Boy Scouts, emergency preparedness, history, young women and relief society. Sister Foster and I worked in a room about our beliefs. It was pretty much a mini visitors center. Since there were so many people there member and non member it was a great missionary work! I was able to hand out 2 copies of the Book of Mormon. I hope it helps these people in their search...
7. Sister Foster and I got to teach the Gospel Essentials class yesterday about God. Well pretty much I am SO happy to know that we have a God and that he is our Heavenly Father. One of the scriptures that I found while preparing I think has become one of my new favorites. It is Jacob 3:1-2 I LOVE that is says to FEAST on God's love. It is there. He has given us SO much! We need to make sure we partake and find peace in it.
Well... I'm off for now! I will be back next Tuesday!
LOVE YOU!!
Sister Arbogast
