Hello again! Happy Monday:)
It has been another amazing week and I don't even know where to begin!
First of all before I forget. We will be able to call our families after lunch on Christmas day. That means I will be trying to call you or skype you at around 1:15 Arizona time......I think that means 3:15 your time......but I could be wrong about that. Time change hasn't been on my mind at all. BUT I am SO EXCITED!!!!!!! craziness :) You should send me your skype info so I can use it...... we will try to find someone that has skype so we can use it:D
Well that most exciting news...even though nothing has really changed with the situation is the S family, Lori y J. We have had 2 lessons with them since the last time I mentioned it. Both of them are the 2 most spiritual lessons I have ever been in. During the lesson J kept saying...' so when i am baptized on the 22nd...' he is completely ready. Lori still has her doubts, but she knows that it is true and she knows that God has been giving her sign after sign that she needs to be baptized. Well she says that baptism occupies her mind every second of every day. So, will we actually have a baptism on the 22nd...........? Only Heavenly Father knows the answer to that. BUT if the answers is solely dependent on Hermana L and my Faith the answer is a big BIG yes. We know that they have both recieved their answers, Lori is just afraid to make that next step. And we know that it is what Heavenly Father wants them to do! They were talking to a member the other day and he said that they asked if their son who is on a mission in Italy could skype in to watch it. They asked all the detailed questions about who plans a baptism and things like that. Well, we are meeting with her tonight at 6:30 to help her wrap christmas presents.....and I have no doubt in my mind that she will say that she wants to be baptized on this Saturday. Saturday very well may be one of the best days of my life :)
Well we also started teaching another family. They are a referral from the Christmas lights (oh and by the way.....we would NEVER have found their house with out the GPS...you were inspired! we got the GPS the same day we were going to try to find her house :D) Any way, the lady we are teaching in named A. She is a VERY 'visionary' person. She told us about an experience she had. She kept hearing trumpets and seeing trumpets everywhere. One day she felt like she should go to Wal mart and she had no idea why, but she went. On her way there, she saw the Gilbert Temple and saw the Angel Moroni and the trumpet was facing the direction of her house. She thought that it was a sign she needed to learn about the lds church. She also told us that her husband use to put the trash by the back door (which is actually the front door but it is on the back side of the house). She told him to stop putting the trash there because that is the door that God is going to come through when He visits their family. Then she told us we are the ONLY people that have ever used and come in that door. She has some really neat stories like that, and she always takes it as a sign that God is telling her to learn more about the LDS church. She was on date for baptism on the 29th with her daughter as well....but then they didn't come to church yesterday so they fell off date. She knows that it is all true and I have no doubt that she will become a member of the church in january. HAPPY DAY!!!!!!
Well. I love you all lots. We have also been helping lots of member put up christmas trees and wrap presents and doing all of these fun things around chrsitmas time. It has been a great week!
Remember how much I love you all. I miss you all so much, especially around this time of year. BUT I am so grateful to be a missionary right now. Hopefully the world doesn't end in December 21, 2012.....but if it does, I will see ya on the other side :) haha. I love you all. BE safe, take care of each other, and remember that the 'best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear "
Love you!!!
