K I'll just go in
chronological order.
We had a totes m'gotes fun
Pday. We got to go to COSTCO SLASH THE TERRESTRIAL KINGDOM and get some
goodies. Then we played some volleyball with our district. I used to hate
playing sports with people. But now I know how to enjoy myself. I just scream
at everything that's going on and comment on everything. I love
sports!!!!
So we had a lesson with our
investigator, Kayla. Her husband is a less active member who hasn't come to
church since he got baptized when he was 18 and she is taking the lessons and
has been coming to church with her girls. Her 12 year old is going to girls
camp this week YAS and we have been trying for A MONTH to set her with a
baptismal date and every time we go over we are climbing other hurdles. SO. On
Thursday we had a lesson with her and after 2 HOURS OF TEACHING WE SET HER WITH
A BAPTISMAL DATE FOR AUGUST 20 BREAKING NEWS!!! Seriously we have been praying
for this moment. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. On Sunday she came to church, and after
church we were talking and she says to me, "So this morning I was reading
the Book of Mormon and I just felt really good, and I feel really good about being
baptized August 20" and I was like, "KAYLA EMBRACE ME!!!!!!!"
And we hugged it out and I was trying not to bawl tears of joy. THIS IS
HUGE!!!!!!! And her hubs is warming up too. The other day he asked, "So
what do they wear at church?" All casually. Awwww yeah we know whachu
thinkin you comin to church next Sunday!!!! Ugh so amazing.
Next Miracle.
A few months ago we went over
and saw a former investigator named Kenna. She had been through 3 sets of
missionaries and she is kinda non committal. And her life is literally a bucket
of health and other probs. We talked to her and committed her to read the Book
of Mormon for 1 minute every day. We text her and call her and we have been
trying to meet with her, and finally we got to see her this week. She's been
reading every day since we've seen her BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. We had a 2.5 HOUR
LESSON WITH HER and talked about faith, repentance, baptism, Holy Ghost, the
works. It was seriously amazing and she totally felt the spirit even though she
was sippin on a glass of wine the whole lesson hahaha. She is totally in it to
win it. We are going over tonight to clean her house (Sister Hayes and I have
literally turned into the free cleaning brigade) and having a lesson. OH MY
GOSH and then during our lesson like 5 times she was like, "Wow. After you
said that I totally just got this feeling like warm and fuzzy and I know it's
true." KENNA THAT IS THE HOLY GHOST GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!
Next Miracle.
We went over to a former
investigator's house. His dad answered the door and said he had to leave and he
wasn't going to be converted but we gave him a pamphlet and asked if we could
come by later. We didn't think he would keep the return appointment, but we
went back anyways. We knock and his girlfriend answered the door and was like
come on in sisters!! I was like WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. They SAT US DOWN,
TURNED OFF THE TV, AND GAVE US THEIR FULL ATTENTION. I was literally
unconscious at this point. How in the world was I supposed to teach a lesson?
The spirit of God. That's how. 2 HOURS LATER (what is it with 2 hours lessons
this week?!?!) and we taught them the restoration and they had a billion
questions and they were amazing and they committed to read and pray and I was
like DO IT GOD LOVES YOU. And the best moment was when my baby Sister Hayes
talked about Joseph Smith, showed them the picture, and looked into their eyes
and recited the 1st vision, just like we had role played. That was a proud mom
moment right thur. After we were so excited we got in the car and called the
AP's and they said "hello?" and I just screamed for a solid 10
seconds. Lolz.
OK THERE ARE MORE
MIRACLES.
We fasted on Sunday for some
blessins. It worked. We really wanted to see our investigator, and we prayed,
and then we texted her, and then she said, "wanna come over for dinner
tonight?" We were there for hours and got to talk, and we also had 2
dinners but it was ok because we had been fasting!
Aight peace and blessings!
