Dear Family & Friends,
Sadly...I forgot my camera...so no
pics this week :( SORRY!! But Thanksgiving was awesome!!! We went to the
Millers for breakfast (sausage, gravy and biscuits, YUM!!), the Rainey's for
lunch (with a caramel cream pie, MMM!), and the Clinton's for dinner (MORE
turkey!)...By then I was pretty shot. I gained a few pounds, but no big thang!
My Reynad's is okay, although my feet
and hands turn blue on occasion...
Yes, as missionaries we are doing
something called the He is the Gift Initiative! Were we give out cards with the
link to the video and then report each week on how many of our investigators
came in contact with it.
I am so sorry to hear about Josh, he
is so strong and his family is as well during this time of uncertainty and
struggle. It's so weird teaching people about the Plan of Salvation and having
them not believe or even doubt it, when I know that the truth reflects back to
them whether they can grasp it at this time or not. All things are done in the
wisdom of God, whether we can see it in this life, or not. But I know that He
has a plan in which all may be edified in and through the matchless Gift of His
Divine Son!
This week, Chris and Tye are
progressing well, although they weren't able to come to church this past Sunday
due to work and illness. Tye was so excited to go she had us help her pick out
skirts to buy for the occasion, so we are working hard to help her commit to
coming this week! Chris is so excited about his baptism, he opened up a bit
more and we helped him understand more of the Savior's atonement in his life.
We moved up his date to Dec. 20th because he has been progressing so much in so
short of time.
We were able to meet a lovely family
through the surveys and they are willing to have us back in their home later
this week. We are going to finish teaching them the Plan of Salvation. Adam has
his doubts, but his girlfriend Krista is more open to it.
Claire has been cutting way down on
her smoking! We had a great lesson in the Jacobson's home and were able to
teach the Word of Wisdom more clearly and powerfully. Sister Jacobson is an
amazing fellow shipper. Claire ended up wanting a blessing and Brother Jacobson
and Brother Williams were able to administer one. She is sleeping on Cynthia's
couch right now and is having to deal with a few men who are always over threatening
her and doing drugs. She is surrounded by it frequently, but is staying strong
in the face of it. She said drugs are starting to look more and more repulsive
to her, as she is seeing the difference without having to rely on them to cope
with emotional stress. She invited us to her sister's baby shower and was able
to meet her family! YAY! I think they are more open to her meeting with us now
that they have gotten to know us better.
I love you all! Thank you for your
prayers and wonderful thoughts!
