How was your week? Mine was swell.
"Oh the irony!"
On Saturday, I got letters from all of the Hadley's and it made me soooooo happy! Oh my, I love them! :) I got the cutest letter from my little Lard too that said, "you are the best missionary in my book, and it's not the trick book" made. my. day. :)
On Tuesday we went over to a recent convert (the mom) and an investigator's (the daughter) for lunch, and Loretta (the investigator) was SUPER sick. :( She is in her 40's i think, and about 10 years ago she had a weight loss surgery and ever since she has been severely suffering from complications. So many health problems. and it was TEN years ago. How sad? And she was so sick and had been for like a week, but didn't know at all what was wrong. And because of her past experiences, she refused to go to the hospital. But anyway, she was just sleeping the whole time, and after we ate lunch, we saw her on the couch, and her little boy (Kaden, he is 20 months and SO adorable) woke her up. and she was crying and she looked so sick and she was so upset because she physically could not take care of her baby at all right then. Luckily her mom helps her out. But she did not look good at all. And Sister Langford and I decided she needed a blessing, so we asked her if she wanted one, and she said yes, and so we called the Elder's and they came and gave her one. When we left her house, Sister Langford and I started a fast for her. We were so sad for her. And the next day, we stopped by, literally like 36 hours later, and she was completely back to normal. She had a miracle. How amazing? And she recognized her miracle. She has so much faith. It was really neat.
We had to drop some investigators this week. Which is never fun. But we were able to pick up one on Saturday who is SO solid! Oh my, seriously so cool! So his name is Brandon, and he is 23, and is living with Floyd (Floyd is a recent convert who just takes in random people - we have 3 investigators at his house right now). On Saturday we went to go meet with him and his mom, and we started talking and he said he was super excited to learn more about the gospel and all, and he was SUPER prepared! We taught him the whole restoration and he just soaked it up. it was so good. Then when we were talking about the Book of Mormon, he said that he already had a copy of it, or he used to anyway. Then he went on to tell us about how one of his best high school buddies was a member of the church, and he was such a good example and he looked up to him a lot. He told us that this friend really made a difference in his life just by his example. How cool? but it gets cooler. So he's telling us all about this friend, and this is the friend that gave him the Book of Mormon, and then he's like, "ya, but then he went off to BYU and got way into basketball, and now he plays pro." and I was like, "wait.... is your friend Jimmer?" and he was like YA!! hahaha. Of course it was. lol. It was so cool though! Jimmer totally planted a huge seed for Brandon! (our plan is to have Jimmer come baptize him ;).
Nels and Jo came to church again!!! And we went over for dinner and had a lesson this week :) They are my favorite! Because they feed us ice cream ;) They are so great. We taught them the Gospel and they loved it and the spirit was so strong and they both wanted to be baptized so bad, but then Nels said, "but we won't ever be baptized, because we are never getting married." And all we could do was bear testimony. And so we did. And it was really powerful. They still said they aren't getting married, but when we were leaving we set a return appointment, they were talking about how they are going to get rid of coffee, and they still came to church and all.. so i think the importance of Chastity will hit them at some point. It will be tough though, because it will create financial difficulties for them for sure. Keep them in your prayers!
Oh! And keep Erin in your prayers! She had a rough week :( Lots of personal things going on have been causing a lot of stress. We saw her last night though and at church yesterday and she is going to pull through! We love her! :) She needs lots of prayers! :)
Well, you all are the best!
I hope you have a great week!
Stay solid.
I love you!!! :)
-Sister Davis!
