Hello my dear family!
Happy Labor Day!! I hope yall have a fun relaxing day :)
This
week has been really fun and wow it went by waaaayyyyy to fast. that's
for sure! But it was really fun! First off, we got our transfer
information on Saturday! looks like I will be staying in Hermitage for
another transfer. Yahoo! That makes me pretty excited! We are seeing a
lot of great things happening here, and I am pretty excited to see how
this next transfer goes. I got a feeling its gonna be a good one!
First
I want to tell yall about Mira and Robert Nunez. So on Tuesday we
decided we would try and contact a bunch of potentials in our area book.
We went to 'the bonnas' like this neighborhood where every street is
named bonna something, so for example there is bonnacorft, bonnasprings,
bonnahill. you get the picture, anyway we were in the bonnas and we
decided to try a lady named, Mira. and she let us in right away! She is
so cute and so nice. Missionaries had visited with like one or two other
times, but never really shared a message with her. She said she is a
little hesitate learning about other religions because she just doesn't
want to get confused or anything. We just sat and listened. It was a
really cool experience and the spirit definitely was there! we talked a
lot about the holy ghost. Well, we asked if we could come by again and
share a message with her and her husband, she quickly said yes and we
set another appointment for Thursday. Well Thursday came around and we
went to our appointment and it was great! her husband Robert was there
and you guys, they are seriously the nicest people ever! we had a great
lesson about Jesus Christ and who he is to each of us. It was really
cool because Robert was like "Its pretty crazy that you girls just keep
showing up at our house, to be it feels like God is trying to say
something" It was great! we have another appointment to go see them next
week :) we are pretty excited.
The next
person I want to tell yall about is Lupe! Okay so this guy is so cool!
He has been coming to church for the past 6 weeks now, and he really
loves it. yesterday after church we went over to presidente burgos'
house to teach him the plan of salvation! it was great. He said he has
always had questions about where we came from, and where we are going
after this life. It was awesome :) we invited him to be baptized on
October 10th, and he said he would pray about it. yahoo! we have been so
blessed to teach him, and watch him progress little by little over the
last 6 weeks. I just know he will get baptized this transfer :) he is
awesome!
Lastly, I want to tell you about
Carmen. She is a recent convert of about 8 months or so, and the mom of
Aida (one of our progressing investigators) and I just adore this lady.
She is 71 and has a life full of crazy stories. But its been really cool
to see her grow in the gospel. we were over visiting her on Saturday
afternoon and she just bore her testimony of the church and of the book
of Mormon. she loves it so much and she knows its so true. I am grateful
I have the opportunity to serve with this sweet lady. To me, its just
another testimony that the gospel of Jesus Christ really can and does
change peoples lives. But you also have to be pretty careful, she can
get pretty feisty sometimes ;)
I feel bad like
this email is short and not full of too much detail. But it has been a
great week. we are slowly, but surely, finding more and more people to
teach. So that's always good :)
I am glad to
hear that all is well at home :) also I was stoked to hear that the UTES
won! That's awesome :) anyway, I love you family!! I am so grateful for
all of your examples to me :) I hope you have a great week!! love yall
so much!
XO
Hermana Brown :)
