I rejoice with you in the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I thank you not only for what you do, but I thank you for who you are. I want to thank those who have emailed me, sent me letters and packages, and who have prayed for me. I have the strength that I do because of you. :D Thanks for everything!!!
This week has been pretty good. We taught a few new people and have 3 new investigators! I'll explain them later. We were also able to have zone conference this week. It was great and I learned so much. Oh, and Easter Sunday was such a delight.
As I said before we found 3 new investigators. Their names are James and Linda, they pulled up to us in their car the other day and asked us if we had any Norman Bibles. Haha it was awesome. We gave them a couple and stopped by a couple days ago. They are super humble people. James is a Vietnam veteran and has had a pretty hard life. Linda is his wife and is really cool. Our lesson though was kind of sabotaged by some people that they had over. The one lady was SUPER drunk and was telling freaking crazy stories. So yea...... We are hoping that they read the BOM and we are going to meet up with them later this week. James seemed super interested so I think it will go somewhere. I bore testimony to him about it and I think he will read.
The other new Investigator is Carmon. She is a referral that we got from Mormon.org wanting a bible. We stopped by and gave her a Bible and a Book of Mormon and talked about how it can really help her and her family. She has 2 little boys and her husband so I really think that the doctrine of the eternal nature of the family will really help them out a ton. Pray for them please.
The other investigators that I would love ya'll to pray for are Dexter, Pamela, Rick, Paige, Nikki, Lorenzo,Brandon, Crystal,Andre, Zach,Rebecca, Willie,Carly, and Patricia.
I love all of these people and they all have amazing stories. Dexter and Pamela are committed to baptism and have set a date. Pray for them please, I want them all to have the amazing blessings of the Gospel, but they have to use their agency to pick it. I can't imagine the heartache of our Savior and the Father when these precious souls don't want the amazing, fantastic, indescribable Joy of the Gospel. I feel so much Joy when I think about our Savior and our Father in Heaven. The Godhead really has blessed me so much with so many innumerable things. It is amazing. I have been able to really feel compassion for these people as I have tried to be more like Christ.
Zone Conference also happened this week and that was really amazing. We learned about how we need to be on Fire with the Gospel. We read multiple Scriptures about how the Fire of the Gospel needs to be shut up in our bones and become our DNA. It was awesome. Do all you can to have the Gospel not written on tablets of stone, but on the fleashy tablets of the heart. Then you can be on FIRE.
Sunday was amazing. I really felt the spirit and it was so nice to remember the Savior and his Resurrection and victory over Death. Because he is risen from the Dead I will one day too. I love that. The infirmities that we have in this life won't be with us in the next life. In the Celestial Kingdom I won't have diabetes and will be able to have all the carbs that I want :D haha. I am really looking forward to that. Normal Dr. Pepper and Cookies for Days :D :D :D
This week in my studies I have felt prompted to study more of Jesus the Christ. Right now I am in Chapter 6 and it talks about the Meridian of time and the events leading up to the Savior's Birth. It has been amazing and has really opened my eyes to how important and amazing our Savior really is.
I just want to end with my testimony. I'll never doubt it, I'll never question it. I know that God the Father lives, I know that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. I know that the Holy Ghost is the witness of the divinity of the Father and the Son. I know that the Gospel has been restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith and what a blessing that is in our life. I know that we have a living Prophet today and his name is Thomas S. Monson. I know that Temples are the house of the Lord and that we can receive many many blessings for going there. I love that I have been given 83 days to be a missionary and I am grateful for every single one. I have learned so much from this wonderful time in my life.
I love you all so much and I pray for ya'll everyday. May God bless you with peace that comes only from him. I love you all and have a fantastic week.
