Well another week has come and gone....craziness!
This week we had zone conference, it was soooooo good. President talked a lot about being consecrated missionaries and our purpose. The only not so good part about it was that our district has been passing the stomach flu around, and it was my turn to get it. The night before I was up all night, but there was no not going to zone conference, haha. By the time zone conference was over at 3:00 Sister B wasn't feeling so good either and I had a fever of 103. Well, needless to say, we came home and slept the rest of that day. You know you are sick on a mission when the only thing you want to do is go out to work, but your body just wont let you, haha. But everyone is all better now, so HAPPY DAY!
There is a family in the ward we go and visit about once a week or so, the Z family. They are so kind to us and always feed us (sometimes against our will, haha). Well, I love them dearly. We were are their house this past week and Hermana Z said she had the same exact skirt that I was wearing. Well, we may or may not have planned to wear the same outfit on sunday. Haha, it was so funny! We walked into church together and everyone laughed (at us or with us I don't really know, haha). Happy day!
Well the area in dear ole Mesa is still doing good. M is still on date and we are still working with him, so happy day! AND I have the biggest miracle to tell you!!!!!! Remember me telling you about J, the inactive man we found, and his girlfriend M and dad E that we were teaching about 2 or 3 weeks ago? Well, they were on date for baptism, and then they fell off the face of the earth. Stopped answering our calls and wouldn't answer the door. Well, we were at church and ward council had just finished with 30 minutes to spare. We decided to try to go by their apartment again. And J was there AND he answered the door, even better. He let us in and said he was coming to church and M was getting ready to come too. WE were SOOOOOO happy! Well, they came, and J loved every minute of it. He was baptized 6 yrs ago in a different ward and was even the ward mission leader, then he moved and stopped coming. But yesterday he FINALLY came. Probably one of the happiest days of my life! Hopefully M liked it too. We have an appointment set up to meet with them again, happy day:D la familia D is back!
Yesterday was a mission president fireside, and E and M from Queen Creek came. It was so cool to see them, they were crying and I may or may not have been crying too, haha. They are getting baptized on Saturday at 10:00 in the new stake building that was just dedicated, they will be the first to be baptized there. We are trying our best to be able to go, hope it works out and we can :D We took a picture with M and F, and E and M with all of us. Tender moments :D
We have still been working on finding, 'nothing happens in missionary work unless you have someone to teach' is a very true story. We were contacting a few potential investigators and found a guy named D. He said he always wanted to learn about our church. Shared a few scriptures and he committed to be baptized after he has studied and knows for himself. He came to the mission president fireside last night too. Yeah for D! (such a good name, don't ya think?)
We also have been helping the elders out with the English ward that we use to have. There is the guy named L that we were working with when we have the ward, and the elders can't seem to meet with him. He is trying to quit smoking so he can be baptized on May 4th (hehe). We have been meeting with him and put him on date. We were having a lesson with him outside standing by the stairs and this guy was walking up the stairs, we said hi, but nothing else. 3 minutes later he came back down and said he saw the pamphlet I was holding that said the Gospel of Jesus Christ and wanted to know more about our church. He was Hindu, but just recently became Christian and moved here last week and was trying to find a church to go to. COINCIDENCE? no way. I am so grateful that he came back to talk to us, and we felt awful that we didn't talk to him more when he was walking by the first time. BUT it all worked out and the elders are going to go by and teach him. Pretty sure he will be baptized in 10 days. He is so cool!!!!!!
Well, I am definitely grateful for the spirit and for the help that it offers us every day if we let it. I love you and miss you all so much.
