I cried when I read about Josh, can
you send me their mailing address? I cannot believe how fast it has spread!
Yes, I will for sure keep sending prayers their way. I hope that the radiation
will work. I can't imagine what Jessica must be feeling right now, but I know
that the Lord will continue to help her in her work and provide a way for the
Pukahi's to receive the comfort and counsel needed through this rough time. I
know that the Lord has the power to bear our burdens and succor us according to
our infirmities. The Lord is bearing this burden with Josh and he is not alone.
Yeah we had the primary program too
and Bill Stoll came. We have been committing the heck out of people to go to
conference with a question and bearing testimony of how, if they open their
hearts and minds to the Spirit, they will receive their answers. So, I
encourage all of you to do the same!
Tell Butter Happy Birthday!!
This week has been full of miracles
as we sought for opportunities to invite people to baptism. Although we did not
meet the goal to set 3 baptismal dates this week, we will most hopefully be
able to meet with those this week we had planned to last week, but fell through
:( We were able to FINALLY contact Latrina again and she was eager to meet with
us, but we had to reschedule for this week instead. I hope that she will
continue to progress as we teach her and we will be able to set a date with
her. We also got back into contact with a less active that I never met, named
Sharon Buelle. It was a very spiritual meeting and I am grateful that she is
willing to meet with us.
Sally came to the General Women's
Meeting Potluck and met many wonderful fellow shippers from our ward. She was
adamant about not staying for the broadcast, but she was able to get a feel for
some of the people in our church :)
We brought Ellie Davis with us to
teach Alex and she invited her to come to the Davis' house to watch a session
of General Conference with them! We invited her and her mother to the General
Women's meeting, but they couldn't make it because her sister is getting
induced. This week we will put the plan into motion of including her mother in
her progress with the Young Women.
When we met with the Stoll’s this
week we were going to re-commit them to a baptismal date, but we ended up being
bold and straight-forward with them about whether or not they have prayed with
real intent to know if this gospel is the one true gospel. Luella believes, but
Bill couldn't even answer us. We watched Elder Holland's talk "Lord, I
Believe" and re-committed them to pray about it and bring that and two
other questions surrounding it with them to General Conference. We are working
with the members on getting them to people's houses for it. The Miller’s said
that they were going to the church building for conference, so I asked them if
they would sit with the Stoll’s when they came to their session. Bill came to
church and talked with the Miller’s, especially since Brother Miller just got
the priesthood that day. He went to priesthood with him and was very vocal in
class. We hope and pray that he will continue to try to receive a sure answer.
After getting chastised a bit by
President Cutler for having to many service activities where finding people was
limited, we limited our scheduled service opportunities this week to make more
time for meetings and proselyting, but are open to any more beneficial ideas of
where we could give service to places where we can find people (without
proselyting).
My prayers are ever with you, my
family! Keep the faith. And I echo broham's words when he said, "We are
God's "Big Project", His Work and His Glory." We are not just
building the kingdom the Lord is building us.
Love, so much that it's bursting the
corners of this computer,
