That's what I did yesterday instead
of emailing you. Made me think of you guys though! :) I was doing service for Brother Ward, the
Ward Mission Leader. As an interesting side note, his wife is from Poland! I
love her accent.
This week has been good! Here's some
updates:
Finding: Finding has had some great
success! We taught the Restoration on this one woman's doorstep! She's a Uni
student (that's what college is called, Uni) and she's Catholic but she was
very willing to give the Book of Mormon a try.
Hilaire: Hilaire brought his two
children to a Ward Picnic on Friday! His kids had a blast, and, after a little
hesitancy, Hilaire had a good time as well. They all came to church too!! Our
Primary President, Sister Beattie, was absolutely FANTASTIC with the kids!! :) His
9-year old girl even asked for a Faith in God booklet! Hilaire is still having some difficulty
deciding whether to join with us, or stay with the church he's currently going
to. But we taught him about fasting, and he agreed to fast about it. We're
pretty confident that his coming to church will be a great catalyst for it
too.
Vincent: we haven't heard from him
all week! We're really worried about him! So please pray for him. We are!
John: Sorry I forgot to say his name
last week!! We went by this week. He was completely sober, and he was SO
teachable!! It was fantastic!! He hasn't come to church. We HAVE to get him off his drink to teach
him!!
As for building a ship vs. a barge, Building
a barge requires GREAT faith in the Lord!! You can't steer a barge!! You just have to get in and go where the Lord
takes you.
That's a great story about Jeff going to
the temple to get answers! It shows what kind of man he is. I miss the temple
so much!! I
love this gospel! It's so awesome!! :) I'm so sad all the time because I see so
many people without it, and I know they're rejecting it. But I love it still!
:)
Well, I have to go! Sorry! Love you
all soooooooo much!!! :)
