So..
super fun this week we contacted one person and it was super stormy, siding blew off the house and hit me it didn't hurt but now i can say that has happened.
Wandalyn!!!!
Wandalyn has been up and down since i have been year she was suppose to be baptized before I got here but things weren't going well I suggested we wait for her baptism she really progressed these last two weeks. she came to church on her own and begged us for the baptism to be on Saturday asking for an apology for how Satan had begun to grasp her but as we met the spirit returned and she now understands the reality of her commitment to God
Robert!
we knew Rob was going to be baptized the only problem would be how fast we can cover all the lessons. on the third lesson we prayed about when we think he should be baptized to extend the date as a goal to him. We were led to chose a very soon date of march 16th and we were suprised at how close it was, but the spirit said so... in the lesson within two minuets he just ups and tells us you know i have thought about baptism and i feel i should be baptized on the 16th. Our jaws dropped to the floor. the spirt flooded the room as we talked about our experience praying about when he should be baptized and how God led us all to the same conclusion. We are really excited for him. And the ward needs more members like him.
YES YES
I wont name names but a friend wrote me telling me that they are going to go on a mission after getting a patriarchal blessing. I just have to get them a shout out because that was the highlight of my day despite spending all day at the air force museum today. also shout out because i don't have time to write them because of my choice in use of time today.
Temple
i was thinking about the temple this week and how the prophet told all members to make a journey to the temple and then our mission is banned from the temple.... that got me down a little, but then i re read the talk. and after saying go to the temple he said take the temple home is more important. as i thought about this i realized that i can better take the temple home by living as if i was in the temple.... the world will tell you more is better yet when you go to the temple you give up(leave behind) everything to draw closer to your heavenly father. you can do that more time then just the time in the temple. i am going to try and do this more and i invite you to do the same.
love y'all.
