Hello!
What an awesome week we have had! Five investigators came to church
for an awesome testimony meeting! We finally started working with Mark
again and he stayed for the second hour of church for the first time
ever. He was bored in Sunday school so I think he will be in Gospel
doctrine next week. But we had gone over earlier in the week to teach
him (his wife is a recent convert of a few years, from Peru) and he
just unloaded his testimony on us! He still isn't quite sure if he
knows yet, but we can tell that he does. We had invited him to read
Alma 32, and when we came back he had read it 3 times! For him he said
it was and answer to his prayers. The Spirit is working miracles in
his life right now. He is one of the most sincere investigators I have
ever taught and we are hoping to help him start preparing for baptism
as well!
We began teaching another part member family last week as well. Jerry,
the nonmember, is a super sincere Navajo guy. They only have a couple
young kids and by the end of our first visit with them they decided
they needed to build their family on the foundation of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. They showed that desire by coming to church yesterday,
and his wife Shelley hadn't been for probably 15 years! Oh yea, then
their dog bit both of us. Elder Kwock has a nice hole in the back of
his suit. Haha
On my mission I have had so many little experiences with being led by
the Spirit and not realizing it until later. I wish I could write them
all out, but we had some huge blessings come this past week from the
Spirit, like finding people in just the right moment and just the
right place, or saying the right words that help people recognize God
loves them. It's just a testimony to me that The Lord is hastening His
work, and WE have to keep the pace if we are going to be of any use to
Him.
Well, it rained a lot this last week. I've never heard so many people
pray for more rain, especially at church. I guess we take it for
granted in the northwest! :D
Well that's about it for this week! I love each of you! Have a splendid week!
