Things in the mission are going good! A lot is happening and
it’s just an exciting time in the area. We have a boy named Landon and he is
preparing to be baptized this Saturday. We had a good review with him and it’s
been awesome to see his desire to be baptized help the rest of his family. They
have not been active recently and his mom and dad are members but have never
been to the temple. So it’s been really cool to work with the entire family.
We had a huge miracle this week. Wednesday when Elder Turner came in, Bishop
Dalley gave us a call so we went over to meet with him. I figured he wanted to
talk about Landon, but he brought up a girl named Lexi. She has been attending
church with her neighbors since she was about 7 and she is 11 now but her
parents never really approved of baptism. With the temple dedication coming up,
she was in tears because she couldn’t attend because her parents never permitted
her to be baptized. This caused a softening of their hearts and they are now in
full support of her choice to be baptized. Over the next couple of weeks we
will be teaching her a lot to prepare her for baptism next Friday. It’s awesome
to see the miracles that have come about with the temple dedication, and also
to see the result of several years of preparation come to pass.
The Lord’s work is an awesome service to be engaged, and it’s
the coolest thing to see the gospel enter or re-enter the lives of these
families.
On a different note we have had a good number of service
opportunities. We have helped a couple times in building a greenhouse, and we
also got to help in a color run that the stake put on. It’s been a pretty great
week. Plus the call home was pretty sweet.
Love you guys
