This week in one word has been LONG. I'm not even sure why. There has just been so much stuff packed into a little period of time. It seems like forever since the minis were with us but it was only on Wednesday. There were also lots of miracles that we able to see! It was so fun. I'm short on time, as always so I'll tell you the big stuff!
Monday I set out in the evening with Sister Patterson...and she is way way shy. We had a lesson set up with what would become our new investigator Mirlande. As we were planning that morning I asked Sister Patterson if she would like to extend the baptismal invitation and she hesitantley agreed. But she did it when the time came and Mirlande said YES! So her date is set for July 19th! Sister Patterson is working on her mission papers and I truly think she needed that to help her. She is amazing! And will make such a fantastic missionary! MIRACLES!
Tuesday the highlight was I was able to attend Juan's baptism, in my last area. I have never cried at a baptism...but I did at this one. Juan has just made so many changes and has came so far. It was so astounding to see him enter into the water. It made it so real to me what all the Atonement can do.
Wednesday most of our day was consumed with Family Home Afternoon...which practically makes you feel like a college student. Since we go to a senior missionaries couple house as a zone and we play games like all afternoon. Good thing it only happens once a transfer because it takes up so much proselyting time. It's good to have zone unity though. We took the minis to be reunited with their families and they had a testimony meeting. Sister Power who was undecided if she wanted to serve voiced that because of her experience with us she wanted to serve a mission. It was so cool to hear all their stories and testimonies.
Thursday was MLC all day...so I went with Sister Caron for the day, who's another STL. And our companions stayed in our areas. It was pretty fun and enlightening. That night we got to teach Suzie some. We had already taught her the Word of Wisdom and she had no concerns but we brought it back up because we just sensed there wasn't something she got. Turns out she didn't understand why we can't drink coffee or tea. Well, neither do I, but I know that it's a commandment from God that came from a prophet of God. She is doing awesome though and is so prepared for her baptism. So we have that all planned out and such. It'll be this Saturday.
Friday we taught Suzie again...and planned...and had a great lesson withe Barbara. She wants to be baptized after they get married! Which is amazing...except for the fact that that wouldn't be until the beginning of October. Ain't nobody got time for that. We just got increase her faith and her desire and it will come. They're planning on getting married by Elvis in Las Vegas anyway...isn't the whole point of that so you can do it whenever you'd like? I mean...we can get a Elvis wig for our bishop and call it good.
Saturday we had service most of the day for investigators. We also taught Suzie and Todd that evening. They are just so eager to read and learn and watch anything they can get their hands on about the church and the gospel.

Sunday a member of the mission presidency, President Hale, came to our coordination meeting with the ward mission leader and ended up staying for all three hours of our ward. Todd also go the priesthood. The best part about it was when they called his name to be sustained in sacrament meeting...he stood up turned around a few times and waved to everyone. Quiet and subtle are two things that Todd Worsham are not. And after sacrament meeting he commented on how cool it was how many people raised their hand.haha. But it's super exciting that he gets to baptize his wife this Saturday. He is just amazing! And is doing great things!
In other news, I learned a lot about ghost and apparently there are two spirits in Todd and Suzie's house. One of the members we brought to teach Suzie told us all about them. And all sorts of other things about spirits and how they work. So now I'm well educated on how to deal with spirits when they mess with me? Not that I've ever seen one.
Fun news. Today we had a mission wide P-Day activity. We played water games. I played some rugby...Dallan would be proud. And we just had lots of fun..and breakfast...and popsicles. Out mission is pretty much the best in the world.
Thanks for all that you do! I love and miss y'all
