Hey Mom! This week has been really spiritual for us. We had two
people tell us that they were praying and then we showed up at their home. Both
of them were convinced that we answered their prayers and we have a return
appointment this week with one of them and we invited the other person to Church
and mutual. Then we had an Investigator who we have only had one lesson with
text us and ask if her and her son could come to Church. The Lord is blessing
this area like you wouldn't believe right now and I am super grateful to be a
part of it and see all of this great work. Elder Nicholson and I cant believe
how many prepared people are being placed in our path every day. Okay, so this
last Monday we didn't do anything note worthy because we cleaned. On Tuesday we
had five really good lessons with the five people we have been wanting to meet
with for a while. They all are doing really good and two of them are
investigators (We set a baptismal date with one of them and the other has been
on date for two weeks now) Both of them want to be baptized in February and it
is awesome to see them progress in the Gospel. On Wednesday we went on exchanges
but it was easy because we only switched with the other two elders in our
trailer haha. It was a good day and Elder Cook and I were able to see three
people and have a lesson. On Thursday we had District meeting and then went and
chopped wood for two people. We didn't end up teaching anyone until later in the
evening but it was still fun. That night we took the 17 year old out who wants
to go on a mission and he had a good time. We saw two less actives and the kid
who came with us did a really good job at bearing his testimony on church
attendance. Friday, we had a good day and then finished it off with Basketball
night at the church. Three new people showed up and we were able to find out
were they lived and set up a time to stop by. The people here are more willing
to listen to what you have to say if you can play basketball with them. I guess
that's really how it is anywhere you go but Basketball is super popular on the
Reservation. Saturday we had a much needed lesson with an active member family.
They have been down in the dumps and have been going through allot lately so we
payed them a visit. We shared the message we felt would help the most but the
spirit did the talking. We had the Dad give a blessing of comfort to his family
and that helped more than anything. The spirit filled their home stronger than I
have ever felt it before and we all sat and cried for a few minutes because we
didn't know what to say. They thanked us and we left. On Sunday They all came to
church and the first thing Elder Nicholson said was "They look Happy again!" You
could tell that something had changed and they had that light again. We have
seen more and more less actives coming to church and it is great to see this
ward grow. The members of the church out here blossom as the rose when they
embrace the gospel. We are running low on miles for this month so we didn't go
very far this week but we still did what we needed to. Our Truck is 10,000 miles
over what it is suppose to be at so the vehicle coordinator of the mission is
trying to trade out our Chevy Colorado for a new Nissan Frontier pick up this
week. I will send you a picture of the new truck when we get it! :) Elder
Nicholson and I were going through my music the other day and we really like the
song "I can only imagine" by Mercy Me. We play it over and over and sing along
like a couple of weird-o's, so we were hoping you could look up the band and see
if they have any other good music. We like the almost country feel in the
singers voice, matches the area where we live ;) Well, that's all I got for you
today so I will have to talk to you next Monday. Love ya! Have a great
week!
