December 2, 2013

Hello everybody!! Sorry I don't have much time this week to write. Well, really I say that every week. So I guess I just have the same amount of time as always. Probably for the rest of my mission :)

This week was just wonderful! James and Jen, the Thai couple preparing for baptism came to church for the second time this week! It was such a  blessing! They thoroughly enjoyed it. They cannot wait to come back next week. The truthfulness of the Gospel is confirmed to me as I watched James's face during the meetings and saw tears come to his eyes as the Spirit testified to him of truth! What a blessing to behold!

We are also working closely with Gail for baptism at the end of December. She is so great to work with. I cannot believe that the Lord placed her in our paths! She has every health challenge in the book, and hasn't been to church yet. However, she will be coming to Stake Conference with us this coming weekend! Well, unless something happens to her between now and then of course. But I know that the Lord wants her to be at church and He will provide a way!

It has been pouring rain here the past few days. Not today, gratefully! But it is neat to tract when it is pouring, because it is evidence that the weather certainly affects people's moods! Haha. People are usually pretty rude to us, but when it is pouring outside, they seem to have quite an edge to their rudeness. It is sad, but we know that the Lord still prepares people for us even when it is pouring rain! Blessings await us as we sacrifice for the Lord!

This week's challenge is to go see the Temple Christmas lights and take a friend!! Preferably somebody who is not yet with Christ. I cannot think of a better way to bring somebody closer to Him and allow them to feel the Spirit of Christmas than walking on those grounds at this time of year. Please do so often this month!!

I love you all so much and the work continues to hasten at an alarming rate!! I cannot imagine what the Lord has in store for us. PLEASE jump on board and help Him in His work! What blessings He has in store for us!

For those who have asked to send Christmas packages, again please send them to the Washington address below! We will get them the week before Christmas. Have a wonderful week!
