November 27, 2017 -- Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
This week has been hard but good! We had zone conference on Tuesday, which is always the best. I saw Sister Burnham again! (She is my favorite!) and I got to be part of a special musical number with Elders Argyle, Hirz, Morgan, and Thomas. Elder Hirz was playing the piano, Elder Thomas was on the violin, and Elder Morgan, Elder Argyle and I were singing. The piece was "Savior, Redeemer of my Soul" and I loved it. The Spirit was there so strongly. Like my Mom says, the Spirit really speaks though music!
We saw Sister Burton and her girls again and they are so cute! We changed their baptismal date to January 13th (my sister Jessica's birthday!) because the girls are struggling to remember all the commandments, like the Word of Wisdom and the Law of Chasity. That is wonderful though, because we want them to be fully prepared for a lifetime of discipleship after they are baptized, so a few weeks later to help them be ready is not a sacrifice at all. Sister Adams is a little sad because she will be home from her mission and she won't get to be there, but she could skype into the baptism maybe. :)
Thanksgiving was wonderful! No one really wants religious missionaries knocking on their door on Thanksgiving, so we didn't do much proselyting. We did get to go be servers at a senior living community that one of the members in the ward, Sister Thomas, lives at. It was so fun, and seeing the light on all of the people's faces as they celebrated together was wonderful. Sister Thomas also made sure we had plenty to eat. :) Afterwards we went to the Voughts, another family in the ward, and had more delicious food and great company. I am so grateful for gratitude!
We have been doing some service for one of the Sisters in the ward, Sister Gates-Pedicord, who hasn't been coming to church in a while. Since we have been serving her, her daughter, Samantha, has been wanting to know more about her mother's church. We sat down and had a lesson with them this past week, and Samantha told us that she would like to be baptized! More information on that to come, but we are so happy for her! She is the sweetest 14-year-old you will ever meet. She reminds me a lot of me!
That is it for this week folks. Remember that God loves you. Remember to be grateful for everything he has given you!
And hey- read the Book of Mormon okay?
