Hello family! Can you believe Ive been out for 5 months! Well my 5 month mark is actually tomorrow! Ahhh time is going by wayy too fast! My week has been AWESOME! SO many miracles! Sister Merrick and I have been staying warm! We've been getting a good work out riding our bikes everywhere! Its been really fun! We've realized that its all about your attitude. We decided that even though we both hate the cold and that it sucks riding on a bike in a skirt, that we are going to make the best out of it! The change in our attitudes made such a difference!
Baptismal Date with Marlene Stewart!
The Elder Missionaries met Marlene while they were riding bikes! Marlene was on her way to the Dotty's Casino when she saw them and stopped them. She asked them if they could give her a prayer because satan was with her. (She was a little drunk) They prayed with her and talked about our church. She said she would love for the missionaries to come by her house. Marlene lives in our area so the Elders told us to stop by her home. So Sister Merrick and I decided to stop by and meet her. She is an interesting character. We taught her our purpose as missionaries ( to Help others come unto Christ) and we talked about how God is our loving Heavenly Father. She told us that this is what she has been waiting for! and she wants to get baptized! We set her with a baptism date for February 3, 2018 and she said, "Can I do it any earlier?!" haha She does have a problem with smoking and drinking. So it will depend on if she is able to quit. She said she will do everything it takes to get baptized!
We invited her to church yesterday and she came all 3 hours!! She took a smoke break in between the classes and she smelt like alcohol but thats okay! She was in the right place!!
Kathy Chavis!
Kathy is our new investigator this week! Her husband is a less active member but she is not. We were able to share the Light The World video with her and she loved it! She said we can come have dinner with her sometime! We are excited to go back and teach her more!
Book Of Mormon Study
I LOVE reading in the Book of Mormon! I started when I came here to Spring Creek and I just finished it! Its like Ive never read it before! But now I started over and now I am in 2 Nephi! Is there such thing as being addicted to reading the Book Of Mormon??? lol I try to find every opportunity to read for the Book Of Mormon! I love all the new things I am learning! I have a whole bunch of study guides to help me better understand what Im reading too(thanks Jay and Mika) I just got done studying some of the Isaiah Chapters! Some of it is starting to kinda make sense! haha
But Anyways...I hope you all have a great Christmas! I am excited to skype and see you all on Christmas! I will be spending Christmas with my Bishop and his family!
