I feel bad because i havent written much the last few weeks so hear is a longer email...
This week started out good, i am sorry i didnt write much we were busy organising a ward fast for jean, because her cancer is terminal sister green pleaded to have a ward fast so we did a lot of contacting to let everyone know.
Along with fasting for her health this past sunday we did a mission fast for more teaching oppertunities, i havw never felt so unified with the mission....
Along with the fast, it was a really cool gift from the ward to jean on her birthday. Or at least i think having a ward fast for you on your birthday might be a cool gift.
I got a hair cut... I learned something about myself i really love throwing people on tangents... we got hair cuta and my hairstylist was Angela, well she is half Cherokee Indian.. she talked to me about it for four hours... she owns about 500 acres, and she showed me pictures she is living a dream life, which has a lake and they built there own wipe out course, and i now have it in writing that when i come back to visit i can go on a detour to her place and she will let has have free wrang of her lot... she is awesome, i definitely didn't see that coming... but hey i am not gonna say no... to bad she is too set in her beliefs being traditional to her blood line... i wil also let you know she made it very clear to me the difference between native americans and american India... she is a very funny lady...
I got to go on an exchange with elder bara(other elders in huber hieghts), he is the zl right now, he is from provo utah( so far away) , and goes home in 2 weeks and is an awesome elder.. we didnt do anything but talk lol... it started out we went knocking in the morning, and it poured raining, no one answered there door or wanted to talk to us. Then that afternoon we planed to go back out but we got a call to deal with some missionaries problems, so we were on the phone for ever, then i made it know to him that i conduct a baptismal interview next week and i dont know how to do one... we stayed in the rest of the afternoon, working on that... we role played the interview and i cannot describe the spirit that took over me during thst role play. It was just amazing.
To end the night we had a solid miracle, we had one lessonwe go over with a third male and they dont answer we both bug each other to stop talking and get to work but the spirit said keep talking. So we kept talking to brother brock and its now been 30 minuets and we think we really should get back to work, then brother brock looks at us i dont know why but the spirit keeps telling me to stay are you feeling that, so we talk for another 30 minuets and the family comes. And we gave a very powerful testimony of the restoeation lesson that was divine design for me and elder bara to be the ones teaching it.
I got back from exchanges, i need to let you know this elder jeppesen has had a stomic bug for 10 months but he didnt want to go home so he wouldnt get it checked or let anyone tell president, with the four of us there we finally got him to call president and now were going to the doctor on the 9th.... i dont know how he let his pride go so long, he has to puck in almost every meal and he cant eat at all... he eata about a fith of what i eat... but were getting it all worked out now:)
On wednesday, we had a sweet book of mormon class... we were working with the ward to have this class but it hadnt been successful for the last month or two, so we were about to cancel it, but god had other plans, these last two weeks have been crazy, we used to have a class of 4 or 5 now we have classes of 14- 20... lots of progresss in the ward going on. And most of the people in the class are either less actives or non members, david s, comes weekly. Jacob goes, and a few others are planning on going next week.
Interviews! President welch is an awesome insividual, he cares deeply each of us, i hope you are able to feel heavenly fathers love as i feel president welches.
District meeting!!! God is playing jocks on me... every meeting i have gotten to plan, he gives me an over all out line but nothing more... i get like 5 different topics told to me to talk about but when i try to plan any part of it or what plans to put behind it the spirit would tell me to erase it.
Eventually district meeting happend, and it was fantastic,
We started out having each person share who there role model was and it was awesome, i feel the spirit so strong when i talk about who has impacted my life, there was areason when i was told to talk about role models, god deffinately planed this meeting...
I then had the sisters do a training on the gospel blesses familys, and no matter what your situation may be as you follow this gospel and this church, you will be blessed! We did a role play, teaching the principal by going one by one around the district showing a picture of our familys to describe the principal, i have never felt so close to god, it also showed me a greater appreciation for my family, whom i love even though i dont always show it, or say it.
The last activity we did was, the district gave me crap about my hand writing, so i asked elder ennen to be a scribe for 10 seconds and write christ on the board. Then went around the room and had each person come up one by one and do the same, by the third time the spirit took over and everyone went silent. When we finished we talked about it and it was amazing. Elder enned bore a special testimony of how he sees god as a lord, i shared how i nees him to be a comforter. I love my district.
Remy!! Remy is awesome, we talked with him and i have never met a more appreciative person for us teaching them with him not even knowing its true yet... he cant come to church because he signed up for an obligation 3 months ago and forgot about it so he would feel rude canceling 2 days in advance... but he says all churches are good, but are church is the only church he wants to go to.... i love him... selfie attached
Jacob we had a few lessons with jacob this week, one we got to meet his daughter!!! And we had a very powerful experience telling him how god sees him as he sees his daughter! His mom has custody of his child so he doesnt have her all the time, but that led to another cool experience there were 11 peopl in the house and jacob took controll of the chaos and had each one of them clrar the table of join ua in a book of mormon study... the spirit is strong with him!
He is working towards a baptismimal date of the 17th... and i am so excited...
Jacob is a stud, he worked on Saturday, but he wanted to go to church so he refused to go to sleep because he knew he wouldn't wake up... he was so tired but he stayed awake all through church... he then had a 4 hour nap and went back to work. And yet he still messages us daily thanking us for all we do for him. He is so awesome and I am so excited for him
We had a sweet miracle at church. So sister ever when she joined the church was excommunicated from her family well 14 years later her nephew joins the church... well on Sunday her nephew's mom saw that her son was going less active and she felt something tell her, make him go to church, so in order to do so she and 4 family members came to church, the whole ward was shocked when they realized who she was, she is still not interested, but the seed is growing!
Lastly David( almost blind guy) we had a sweet lesson with him, he likes to read but since we gave him the book of Mormon he hasn't been able to read anything else. He was so prepared for is, he struggled with only true church but he has agreed that he doesn't have an option about baptism because we are the only church that has everything...
That's all I have time to say, love y'all
