Hope yall had an amazing Easter! I appreciated taking extra time to focus on our Savior, His life, and His sacrifice for me. This is the special message that we share, He lives! These are the main events in the scriptures. In the Bible, Christ taught that He will be resurrected and even though they didn't fully understand what that meant, He visited them after His Resurrection so that they may have a personal witness and testimony. In the Book of Mormon, the crowning event is when the resurrected Christ visited the Americas. I am so grateful for the gift of life Christ granted to each and every one of us!
These last two weeks hold a lot of miracles and I'll share a few of them! On our way back to the car after no one answering their door, I saw the house across the street and thought we should knock on their door. Donna answered the door, noticed we were with the Church of Jesus Christ and she turns around and says to a lady in the living room, "Sherry! You really set me up??" Turns out Sherry is a member who lives a few aways away who was visiting for the weekend! Sherry said, "I didn't send them the Spirit did." Donna wasn't interested but that was an amazing miracle!
We could not get away from our member meal to leave for a lesson! Our lesson was 20 min away and planned for 7:30. We didn't leave dinner until 7:30! We rushed to meet with this family - the parents are members, Amber is a returning member, her husband is a recent member of less than a year [mike], and we are teaching their daughter [Chesley]. We texted them that we were on our way but about 15 min out. Amber texted and said she was so happy to hear that we were coming! She said Mike's boss sent over missionaries from his church and they were trying to argue with them! She was praying that they would just leave when we texted her we were on our way! We arrived when they said their closing prayer and we walked in as they were walking out! Mike and Amber talked through what happened and we were able to help them through any questions they had. Then we read the book of Mormon with their family! It was amazing to see God's timing in all of that!
Last Sunday in Relief Society, or the women's class, a sister shared an amazing story. She shared that her parents weren't the best parents, however she went to the temple to be sealed to them! By giving her parents the opportunity to accept and keep a covenant to be honorable parents, all of her anger from the past vanished and she was full of joy and happiness! That is a restoration of families!
We received an online request from Destiny who wanted to learn more about baptism!! She actually remembers making the request, most people don't. We've already been able to talk with her and teach about the covenant that baptism is! So exciting!
While we attempted to visit a media referral, we needed help with directions. We asked these guys where is was and they pointed down the road a little bit to a run trailer. We had to get through a dog, 5 giant carpenter bees, and 16 cats to knock on the door! An old lady answered and said our media referral, Carlin, lives behind her trailer in a tent. I asked how she knows him and she said, "I don't know, he just lives back there in a tent." So odd! We walked around the trailer and sure enough there's a camp site in the woods! We contemplated for a second if we would go over there but we decided not to!
We taught our friend Robert about prophets and priesthood authority and he was so excited to hear we have a prophet today! It really is exciting! Hope yall enjoy general conference next weekend!
Please pray for
