Hola Everybody!
It's been a great week. Our
investigator Latanya is on track to be baptized soon. She is just super
excited and says she can't wait. While Brian (I mentioned him a few
weeks ago) is being prepared, we don't know when he will accept baptism.
He has some hesitation about being baptized so I don't think it'll be
before I leave for Mexico. We spent a good amount of time this week
seeking out others who are ready to receive the gospel. We found several
people who might be interested, but the best is this this family.
Christina, Renee and their family. We found them by talking to one of
their daughters while she was walking home. We came by a few days later
and offered to leave a blessing on their house, which they greatly
accepted. They are so awesome.
So my big story for the week: A few days ago Elder Cash and I were
on our way to an appointment with this family.(Elder Jacobs was on
exchanges with another set of missionaries at this time.) As we are
going we see someone pulled over to the side of the road. So naturally
we stopped to help. She just needed a Jump Start. As we waited for the
battery to charge enough for the engine to turn over, we were talking to
her and found out that her Fiance was an Inactive member of The Church,
and that they had been talking recently about going to church. So as
she was asking God for someone to help with her car problem, who should
show up but the guys in suits with the black name tags. She said she was
taking this as a sign that she NEEDS to get back to church and said she
and her Fiance were going to church Sunday.
Now for part 2: after getting her car to start we went to our
appointment. We were about 10-15 minutes late. When we got there we
found out that the Christina and Renee were out running errands. Just
after that sentence was said, they pulled into the driveway, so had we
not stopped to help out the first person, we would have been there long
before they got home and we wouldn't have been able to have that
teaching appointment. So then we were invited in and we were able to
have an awesome lesson. The Holy Spirit was super strong in their house
as we taught, and it seemed to have touched the hearts of everyone in the
room. It was so great.
Now for some photos. We spent Christmas with the Cutler family. They're super awesome, and Bro. Cutler has a real sword! (One of my favorite topics.)
This was our Christmas card to our investigators.
I found the Las Vegas skyline at night a pretty sight.
Well that's about it for this week. Not sure what opportunities
I'll have next week considering that I'm flying to Mexico on the morning
of the 7th. I'll write again soon.
