HEY MOM!!!!!
So this week was cool we found a new investigator, her name is Celeste and she has a daughter who is 11. So at the church that they are currently attending they don't offer a youth program of any kind and so her daughter is going to come to activity days. Celeste remembers going to those kinds of things with friends when she used to live in Utah and is excited for her daughter to have the same opportunity. YAY!!!!! So yeah I hopes on that front.
We also were able to make contact with a less active, her name is Elena. she is struggling with addiction right now, going through withdrawals and such. But she sincerely wants to turn her life around and be a better mother for her children. It's really cool to see her desire and want to change, it definitely makes it easier to teach someone when they have the sincere desire to repent and change their life. It reminds me of why I love being a missionary, and that we aren't dragging people to the font or to repent, but we are their guides on this journey that they are taking and we are here to show them the path and help them to stay there so that they can receive eternal life, which is the greatest of all the gifts of God.
Also we (Sister Webster and I) got a call Saturday night at 9:30pm from our Branch President asking us if we would both give talks on Sunday, as in the next day! I have now proven to myself that I can write a talk in one hour :) I used the Conference talk "Do I Believe?" by Sister Bonnie Oscarson. You should read it, it's AMAZING!!!!
Then on Saturday we had a Branch BBQ which was delicious and Elena was able to come and make friends and socialize in the Branch outside of church. p.s. we had BBQ Pulled Pork! It was Delicious!!!!!
Has Kordell decided what he is doing? school? mission?
Also do you get emails from Elder Richards (Steven)? if so can you forward them to me it's been six months and I would like to know how his mission has been going?
So yeah for Cole I'm not really sure, First he should pray about it. But in my opinion mission would be good first for him but if he really does want to do school first, to try sticking to doing only a couple semesters. so you're not too far along in your major and can leave easily.
Anyway talk to you next week!!
Love you Lots,
Sister Sanofsky
