So Dorothy is super excited for her up-coming baptism!
We had Stake Conference yesterday, which was soo good! President
and Sister Craven were there because he was asked to speak. I don’t know
if I am biased since he is my mission president, but i thought his talk was by
far the best! He talked a lot about the
temple and how absolutely NO ONE can make it to the celestial kingdom without
the ordinances of the temple. We must share the gospel so people we
love can be there too! And baptism is just the first step-as we are baptized;
we should be looking towards the temple. Anyway, we actually had quite a
few investigators there and we know Dorothy loved it! We were out in the hall
talking to her afterwards, and our Zone leaders came up to say hi. And
she invited them to her baptism!
So we also have a great investigator who we go
teach at Green haven Rehabilitation Center. I can't remember if I told y’all
about him or not, but he is engaged to Sister Liverman (who also lives there). Pretty
much one day we got a call from her telling us that she wanted us to come visit
a special friend. So we went and found out she was engaged and gave him a
book of Mormon (turns out the elders had started to teach him at one point when
he was living in a different facility, but the facility told him they couldn’t
come teach him anymore) and he was really excited to get another book since he had lost
his other one. Anyway, the funny thing is every time we teach him, we end
up with a bunch of people in this tiny little room! Sister Liverman and
the two of us, and for one lesson we also had Sister Baker and Sister Williams
there and Brother Walker showed up (he is Sister Liverman's home teacher).
And the next time, we somehow ended up with Sister Fox, Sister Matthews,
us, Alena (aka mini Sister Fox), and Sister Liverman there, plus Paul's
roommate was there! Yah, that many people do not fit very easily!
But Paul really loved it when we talked about the first vision and showed
him the picture. He asked if we could frame it for him and hang it on the
wall with Joseph Smith's description of the event. He also wants to be
baptized, but with his Cerebral Palsy, we are going to have to plan that out
really well.
It was really cold this week! There was
one day where the high was like 30 something. Of course, we are on our
bikes...yay. Luckily, we had a bunch of lessons that day so we
had some members that went out with us and didn’t have to bike too much. We did
have to bike over to Dorothy's, but that only takes like 30 minutes or so when
you go really fast. Of course, we couldn’t feel our fingers anymore by
the time we got there...which was crazy cause I was wearing two pairs of
gloves! Oh well. Life of a missionary!
Anyway, I hope y’all are having a great day! :)
