Hey erybody!
I fell like i talked to you yesterday so im not quite sure what to say..OH ok i have something. Well of course we saw miracles cause miracles are everywhere. We have 2 new investigators on date to be baptized!!! and the best part is THEY ARE ELECT! We go to teach the first discussion and she says"Well im not use to all this so i really want to study and find out if its true for myself."....i just sat there in pure amazement as she litereally stole the begin teaching points I was just about to say! The best part is..her son is even MORE ELECT!! He is the most adorable 11 year old in the whole world. The moment he we come in he runs and grabs his Bible to read with us. I have never seen someone so happy as him when we gave him his own book of Mormon! Oh my goodness. After we invited him to be baptized he said "yes, but when can i recieve the priesthood?" hahahah HE IS AMAZING!
Speaking of elect children! My most favortie family in the belle terre ward is the fletchers! The dad has a CRAZY conversion story and for the last year has been the most faithful saint I have ever seen. they have been preparing to enter the temple and plan to this the beginning of next year! they have pictures of temples all over their home its so awesome. But their son levi is so amazing!! He's about 8 and when he was taking the missionary discussions he went to church and (before he ever hear the first vision) he asked his dad "Is this the church the little boy saw God?" Then he said "oh good. This is a good one dad." He's the most spiritually in tune little boy I have ever met. He's so smart! it was hilarious..each year he gets to pick his birthday cake and his paretns try to create it.. so this year since they have been talking so much about temples but he loves baptisms he wants his brthday cake to be a baptismal font like the one in the temple! hahahahaha his parents are trying to figure out how thye'll pull that one off haha but they said we could help! haha
Sister preston: The bishop sent us a name that has their records just recently moved in from the washington jail or prison(dont remember) and when we go to see her I was stunned. I thought to myself "there is no way she went to prison she is so sweet!" We invited her to come to church and she has been coming the past 2 weeks! She has the most amazing story! She has been inactive her whole life until her husband was baptised. He died a week later and she says it was the hardest thing she has ever been through. She asked us for help to prepare her to go to the temple so she can be sealed to him. while she was in jail she attened a lds church every week and read throught the book of mormon and d&c 3 times! She prayed to Heavenly Father to help her learn more about the bible and it was that very day we showed up and asked her to do a bible study! We were all crying as she told her story of everything she has been through and she has given up everything so she can come here and prepare to go to the temple. I'm so excited for her!
We had a meeting with our Bishop, ward mission leaders and Ward missionaries to get them to assist us in this new goal to baptize weekly. When Pres mullen found out He left a meeting with the stake presidents that he was asked to speak at just so he could come to our little meeting! It was so humbling to know see how much he truly loves this work and will do anything for his missionaries to help them out! That meant so much to us! I hope no matter what situation I am in I will always choose to do what the Savior would. His work truly is so important and i am so happy to be a small part of it! Have an amazing week I love you all and am praying for you!!:)
