I got the package from mommmy!! Thanks I LOVE THE SKIRTS and the stickers were perfect, especially because shaina LOVES Hello Kitty! I am going to give Tugsuu her bible ASAP! I need to get her going on her geneology.
We had another 5 people at church this week! This time it wasnt so overwhelming! The elders helped along with the members. I was very grateful and remembered how completely overwhelmed I felt the last time we had that many investigators at church.
Sad news... Mandal has decided that she doesn't want to be baptized :( Her son wants to come to France and so she is stressed trying to find work to make enougth money to bring him here. It's so sad and so disappointing because I KNOW that she felt the spirit.. she even said so herself, but we cant make her do anything. Its hard because we cant talk to her without Tugsuu and we dont have an address for her.. We're trying though. Pray for her!
Shaina got written permission from both her parents to get baptized on the 13th! We are so excited! She is too darn cute! Ha last time she asked me why Jesus had to die for her... its really hard to explain to an 8 year-old the atonement with VERY limited french and a TERRIBLE accent. She has a light about her. I hope she can continue to grow up in the church with her grandma... she has much potential unlike the rest of her family.
Lucy is just a wonderful person. I am having a hard time getting her integrated into the ward because she is just so busy! But we talked about the Word of Wisdom during gospel principles.... ha thanks to the poor teacher who i asked to completely change his lesson plan half way through the lesson to talk about WOW... I was so grateful because she had so many concerns that I simply would not have been able to answer with the french that I have... And the TIME that we have since we only have 2 more lessons with her till her baptism!! Thats insane. Her husband is still not interested but she did mention she is starting to share the gospel with a friend! It was cool though because she didnt agree with all of the WOW but said that she would keep it if that is what god wanted.
Loma is a chinese student who came to church. We had a wonderful FHE afterward with a family from the islands. I cried during her lesson. The mom was the PERFECT FHE lady ha... for lack of better words. She brought the spirit and just expressed how much she is there for Loma.. she gave her a picture of Jesus and her phone number and gave us ALLL the leftover food and was just so welcoming... exactly what we all need to be like as LDSaints.
Then there was Gladys. We asked her to pray about the BOM to know if it was true earlier in the week and she said no. We asked her why not and she said because she already knows its true. Then our next lesson we planned to teach the Law of chastity, but the spirit totally lead us back to praying about the BOM. We finally got her to understand the importance of praying to know if it was true. She thought that praying and asking would show doubts, but through a serious of inspired questions, she agreed to read and pray. I was relieved because I have been really worried about our investigators. I dont want to just baptize them and they just leave. it is my worst fear. i am going to try my absolute hardest to help them recieve the testimonies that they need to stay strong in the church no matter what difficulties they may have as they move forward through life!!
I LOVE YOU GUYS
until next week!
