Okay the other best news is that we have met some AWESOME, super prepared people this week and I'm so pumped about it.
1.
Rainy(mom), Sehaj (we have no idea how to say this name still)(son) and
Jay(other son): This is an Indian family who were former investigators,
but we have no idea why the previous missionaries stopped meeting with
them. Basically they are the coolest and SO OPEN to what we teach, it's
insane. We invited them all to read the Book of Mormon daily and they've
been doing it! And they love it! We're meeting with them later this
week so to be continued...
2. John: he is THE BEST. We
originally met him while he was out having a garage sale to earn money
while he's been out of work with a really bad back injury a while back.
He's a 10-year recovered meth addict and just wants to strengthen his
relationship with Jesus Christ. Sometimes he meets with the J-Dubs (he
thinks they're weird), but he's too nice to turn them away. So we go
over and read the Book of Mormon with him and he's very appreciative and
loves what missionaries do!
3. Carrie: yep, she's back! To
help you remember her... she's the one with MS and had breast cancer. We
invited her to read the Book of Mormon again and pray about baptism
because she doesn't understand why God would want her to be baptized
again. #classicGeorgian
4. Ida: we met her when i first got
here and it's been SO HARD to find a time to meet with her because she's
crazy busy. We finally did and had a lesson with her about the
restoration. The spirit was so strong as Sister Russell and I testified
to her about how much the Book of Mormon has blessed our lives and why
she would need another book on top of the Bible... Hopefully she'll
read... we'll see!
We saw a huge miracle with
Shenelle this week! Up until this point, her mom (non member, but super
christian) has been very supportive of her taking the lessons from us,
but hasn't wanted us to put a date on baptism because she wants Shenelle
to have "conviction" before getting baptized... Anyway... we were
reading the Book of Mormon with her this week and Shauna said "You know,
ever since Shenelle has been meeting with you, i've noticed a really
huge change in her. She cares a lot more about church and about God than
she ever has before. Her prayers are a lot more sincere, and when she
answers your questions, they are really deep answers with thought put
into them." WHAT/?!? Huge miracle because Shauna is starting to
recognize the change happening in Shenelle and her heart is being
softened! I can't tell you how long we've been praying about this. We
are hoping to put her on date later this week...
Frank has not called us back in about 2 weeks sooo... yep, there's that.
Saturday
was the Ward Christmas party! Not much to say there... major stress
though because almost nothing was ready to go the morning of... it was a
mad dash to get it all done and only started an hour later than it was
originally planned for! :) haha..
Also the best thing: We
found an ALPACA SHACK. with REAL LIFE ALPACAS. We decided that sister
russell looks like an alpaca. And they sell socks made of alpaca fur so
i'll probs be buying 298415 pairs of those.
anyway...
sorry this was all over the place. For pictures from the week, check
out my comp's blog because i'm the worst and hardly ever take pictures. I
promise i'll be better!
Love,
Sister Lawson
