Dear Family and friends,
How are you all doing? I
hope that you had a fantastic week! I love you all so so so much!! I hope that
you can always know and feel that from me! Happy Birthday to Jacob, Chandler,
and Derrick this week!!! I hope that they are the best birthdays ever! I would
love to hear all about them next week and some pictures via email:)! haha:) (is
that too obvious of a hint?) ;) Jk. You guys are so great! Just a reminder that
next monday is a holiday, so I don't think that I will be emailing home. I
should be able to on Tuesday at some point though!
The Baptism of Rene is
still set for this Saturday so pray that everything goes really well and works
out for that! We are going to have the Baptismal service conducted in Spanish
but then translated into English so that everyone can understand it! It should
be a really great experience! It is so neat to feel the Spirit extend through
language barriers. Even though we can't always understand what he is saying and
he doesn't always understand us, we are all able to feel the Holy Ghost testify
of truth! His wife, Hilda, started taking the chemo pills this week and she is
not doing well. Please pray that she will be able to be healthy enough to
attend her husband's baptism. That would mean the world to her. Thank you!!
We had a really cool
miracle this week! It was on Wednesday about 4:15. We had a dinner appointment
that day at 4:30, so we were really struggling with what we should do. If we
got inside with someone to teach a lesson, we would be late for dinner, but if
we just headed right to dinner, we would get there a little early. We decided
to try a former investigator that we hadn't seen yet, since we had come to
York. Their names are Tony and Marah. When we pulled up, Sister Wrubell noticed
that the van was different than their old one. We decided to try it though, not
knowing what we would find:) Just so you can better appreciate our
surroundings, they had some very loud "pump up and screamo" music
blaring in the background:) ok.. now we can proceed:) So we knocked on the door
and this young girl (probably in her 20's) came out and just started talking
with us. She seemed really interested in who we were and what we teach. We gave
her a Book of Mormon and she said that she would read it! They just moved into
that house so everything worked out perfectly with the timing:) She said that
she just found God last year while she was in jail and has a sincere desire to
come closer to Him. Sister Wrubell and I are very excited to see her and
continue teaching her! We are meeting with her tomorrow! It was a huge miracle
though and we arrived to dinner right on time:) Her name is Danielle. You can
keep her and her family in your prayers as well!
Love you all so much!!
Keep your heads up and keep moving forward! This is the Lord's work! As we
trust in Him, things always work out. :)
