Hey Mom!!!
Good to hear that everyone is doing well and that Tyler is so excited and sure that he is playing Baseball J Give Cole a BIG HUG from me!!! And Miranda too! ;) And I can’t wait to be able to take and send you pictures!!! It’s starting to get warmer here but there are still the occasional snow flurries, that bring a couple of inches to Craig, but thankfully they are all gone by the afternoon or the next day.
We went to Baggs, WY and stayed Friday night, all of Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday morning. On Saturday we tracted ALL DAY! I got sunburn J and we also talked to over 40 people, and had full lessons with six people and had a member present, because some of the young men and young women came out with us a few hours each. When we tract, because it is so close to Easter, we carry around a portable DVD player and show people the Easter Initiative. #Hallelujah for family home evening tomorrow night you should definitely check it out. My favorite part of the video is that it says “He Lives” not “He Lived” but that “HE LIVES” that he is just as alive as you or me and knows exactly what I’m going through and that I can go to Him for comfort, just like I can go to you (mom) for comfort when I need it. I have gained a stronger testimony of Jesus Christ and His Atonement, and there is no doubt in my mind of that, my testimony will continue to grow over the next 17 months. So yeah you should really check it out.
We were also able to meet Corli while tracting in Craig. She is from South Africa and speaks Afrikaans, so it was really awesome we were able to get her an Afrikaans Book of Mormon!!! She has been really busy because she works for her sister’s cleaning company and her sister is in California until the 24th so she has been doing extra work. Not getting home until, sometimes, eleven at night. Her kids are amazing too, they also speak Afrikaans, and their whole family just moved to Craig and year and a half ago.
We also killed it with our numbers this week!!!! But it’s not about the numbers! (but we did really good) In case you were wondering we had 10 member presents this week, which is where we have members present at lessons taught to investigators. It really helps when members are present and are able to share their testimonies. And investigators are able to see that there are normal people who belong to the Church and not just us crazy missionaries. We also, in total, were able to teach 26 lessons this week and I can’t remember any of them, Sister Davis says that the more lessons you teach the less you remember them, which is sad but true.
Yesterday was really awesome, we saw Jennifer (one of our investigators) at Church!!!! And we scheduled our first lesson with her afterwards. She is amazing. We taught the lesson in Relief Society, on Joseph Smith and the Restoration, and she loved hearing about him. She told us that one day she had this prompting to call Adam (her friend in the ward) and told him that she wanted to go to church. That was two months ago and she has gone every week since. She has an amazing testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and during our lesson yesterday, after hearing her speak and seeing that desire, I felt inspired to ask her if she wanted to be baptized…SHE SAID YES!! And is now on date for April 23rd. We still have to teach her all the other lessons, but it was super awesome, we (Sister Davis and I) felt the spirit and so did she. Definitely journal worthy.
Love you Lots,
P.S. Sister Davis loved your email.
