Love Mission Life :)

Dear Bestest Family in the Whole World~

 

I just want to start by saying thank you so much for all the emails and the pictures you sent me this last week and every week. It really means so much to me that you all support me so much.

 

I love being a missionary and getting to talk to people about the gospel all the time! Even though it can be really hard, I love it too. After each contact we have (that goes well) I think "I LOVE being a missionary! It's just the greatest!"

Bobbie, our recent convert who was baptized last week, is doing pretty well. We talk to her almost every day and we took her to a fireside at the mission home last night that she really enjoyed. She continues to amaze me by the changes she wants to make in her life and what she feels like she needs to do. Still trying to remind her that she has the gift of the holy ghost now and all that entails... but it's going well. :)

We met with Brother Williams (a less active) this week... I think I've told you about him? He is doing well and wants to get his patriarchal blessing! This is a big deal because last week he told us that since he is 72 years old there wouldn't be any reason for him to get it. We have since helped him see otherwise. He is an amazing man and it is so neat to see his testimony grow and see him realize what he has always believed.

 

The Grahams, we have realized, are going to take a while. They are the nicest people and so fun to talk to, but they are a little set in their ways. We are continuing to help them with their shed and with other projects around the home that they can't do themselves. We taught them the Plan of Salvation and they seemed to not have any problems with it.

 

 

We also taught a woman named Nicole and her two little girls the restoration. Everything seemed to go well, even though we ended up teaching them in a park by their home instead of inside because her husband was asleep on the couch. She seems interested and hopefully will want to know for herself if the church is true. We are  meeting with her again this week to see how her reading went and if she has prayed about the Book of Mormon. Keeping her in our prayers!

 

I think that's it in way of stories for this week. I hope you all have a great week and remember that I love you and that the Savior loves you too!

 

Love,
