Hey Family!!!
So I have a joke for you,
What did the Sister Missionary take a shower? ...Because she had Knee dirt.
Elder Steed and Elder Fa'amausilli (the new missionary in our area from New Zealand, good luck pronouncing his name haha) they made up that joke. hahah When they asked me my reply was "because she is covered in sweat and bug spray" I was being to literal though.
I loved my package! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't say it enough! The pictures were perfect!
Okay so I don't have a lot of time, surprise! haha not I never have enough time but I will tell you of a couple updates real quickly.
So it is pretty much the happiest days of my life because earlier this week we had a lesson with Candace and her girls, and Brad sat in on it!! We read from 3 Nephi 27:13-22. We just took turns reading a verse. The spirit was there as we discussed the gospel of Jesus Christ and the importance of it. Candace started to cry. She told us that she has no doubts, she believes. She wants her whole family to be baptized so we asked them if they would pray about a date. She said yes and hugged her little 8 year old saying "its a sign!" when we told her we baptize at the age of 8. I about cried myself and then to top it all off Brad said yes as well! We will set a date this week with them and they are all planning on coming to church Sunday. yes yes yes yes yes :)
And then Sydnee!! We had a great lesson with her and we told her that we know she is prepared for baptism and should consider moving it sooner! She wants to as well! She is looking at her schedule and hopefully we will be able to get it all worked out so she can be baptized July 19th! We are so happy for her and she is so happy! Both her and Ruth!
Our other investigators are doing well too! June and Nancy and Dash we are slowly but surely teaching them and they love it, and also Virginia. Can't forget Doug and Linda. I know I haven't said much about them but they are just as much a part of my heart! We are happy to teach them and help them progress!
(side note, I am listening to the Mormon channel radio station right now and Jericho Road just came on! Remember them?! I hope I still have that autographed shirt and poster haha :) which reminds me, if we have that CD, SEND IT! )
basically my joy is completely full. I have never been happier and really it has nothing to do with me and has everything to do with The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everyday the reality of it all sinks deeper and deeper into my heart. It is true. I am converted 100% and I will never and never ever want to deny it! Why deny all this happiness and all these blessings??? Seeing what I have always known come into peoples lives and change them is a one of kind experience. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I get to see the miracle of conversion everyday, especially in myself. Missions are the best.
So funny story as well, Sister Wahlen and I Totally got stuck in a Thunderstorm and then stuck in the mud ahhaahha We called the Elders to come help us and when that didn't work we called Brother Liu to come and tow us out with his big truck. it was definitely an adventure. I will send you all the pictures. Brother Liu's son Collin came with his dad. It was adorable. Brother Liu said when he told him to come with him to rescue the missionaries he ran into his room and grabbed his firefighter helmet! He was so excited to come and so happy he could help! I believe that is just like the Savior. When we are completely stuck we might look to other help to get out but when that doesn't work and we finally turn to him how happy and excited he must to help us. The Savior can help us overcome anything, we just need to turn our weaknesses and our sins over to Him. Ether 12:27 Weak things become strong with our Savior Jesus Christ.
I love you all so much! I hope you have a wonderful week and have fun up north! Give the family all my love!
xoxo
