On thursday we got a refferal, forma family of 8, however they were at the store to long so they canceled the lesson, well we asked if we could come by latter that night and after not getting a response for 4 hours she replied and said yes.... and we had a sweet lesson, deanna( the mother) invited her daughters friends to join in so it ended up with 9 people were teaching, it was a really fun lesson and the love thosemkids have for the gospel will be engrained in my head for a long time... there was the strongest spirit in that lesson that i have felt in this area ever. One of the younger kids camden asked me to write down every scripture i refferenced and then as we left cried as we gave it to him. And as we walked out the door he asked his mom when they could start reading. It was powerful. Arianna( the oldest) got supper excited for mutual and her friend zoe was going through a really ruff spot andmit was almost as if god sent us to them for her... stuttering zoe asked us why pray if God already knows the answer and such a joy came into her eyes when we expressed how much her father in heaven cares for her. They are so ready for the gospel!
And then there are relatives, deannas mom gave her anti, and just like that we are not allowed over anymore. However we did leave them cookies and she says we can come over. But she isnt excited to set up a time at all... she went from asking us how often can we come over... to not really interested in setting anything up. Hopefully once we get in thr door and answer some questions their excitement for the gospel will return.... i really hope the kids are okay because they were supper excited for us to come back.... right after the lesson deanna aleah and arianna all posted on facebook how much fun they had having bible study with us... (that stuff never happens)... but they will all get baptized someday. The spirit that strong can not be so easily over looked. I know the day will come.
Jean still knows the gospel better then i do... she knows more about the gospel then most members.
She had us proof read a letter to president nelson, inviting him to her baptism on the 7th... the 7th is gonna a be a crazy day for us jean already has 50 non member RSVP`s and it is still three weeks away, and she is not done inviting people to her baptism. I have never met someone so prepared. And she has already fixed and answered any of the big questions all we have left for her to teach us is the small stuff like obey and honnor the law and pray often... etc...
The closer we get the more she gets antied,
Her is one of her conversations with a friend"
Her friend: jean you know mormons dont believe like we do
Jean: i dont believe the way you do
Her friend there leading you down anbad road i dont want you to go to hell
Jean: read the book and pray about it youll know im right! If you keep acting up you dont need to come or talk to me again." She is awesome
We taught a part member family, the kids are members the parents have issues stopping them currently, but we set goals to overcomd the problems... buddy a 9 year old boy ran out to great us and when we went in he told his nonmember adopted sister be mormon or you going to hell... and we just couldnt hold in a lauph because it was so so something( i dont know how to describe what i felt in that moment)
But they havent been taught i years and paula thw adopted sister just needs to walk inro the font. We can feel how much she already knows its true, she knows the truth of the gospel better then her member siblings LOL
We did a bit of service this week and it was really funny we did service for 3 hours with torrential down pour of rain, and then 10 minuets after we stopped in didnt rain anymore for like 4 days... we were walking through so much mud, by then end of it i just took a sovel and scraped pounds of mud off my shoe... i was suppriesed i was still wearing shoes, it just felt like mud only...LOL
We had some awesome street contacting thus week,
There was a sweet miracle, gideon a six foot five guy walks by, we contact him and he just rudely blows us off, we are about a 600 feet down the street and he comes running saying. Im sorry i realize that you may be an answer to my prayers, i have been praying for god to show me a sign saying he exists... he is a sweet kid... were meeting with him again tonight...
