Mountain Lion District is
the name of the District I’m over and we’re
stack! Seriously so blessed to be able to serve with these
missionaries! They’re all so amazing and super excited about doing
missionary work, we tryna put up the best numbers in the mission this
transfer! We on the come up just wait.
This week was awesome! On Thursday we had dinner with the Hart family
who’s a less active family were trying to reactivate. We also want to
have the dad baptize his 2 daughters next month. Zoey who’s 11 and
Haley who turns 8 on Sunday. We had a great dinner with them and feel
like we’re really making progress with them! When we first got here we
struggled getting in the door with them but things are looking really
good now! They have come to church 3 weeks in a row now!!!
Saturday night we met with Darron and his wife Rachel and brought
Kayleigh(who’s a member and just got her mission call to the Illinois,
Nauvoo mission). We read 1 Nephi 3/4 with them and talked about going
forward with faith not knowing the outcome cause he’s still struggling
with committing to his baptism March 10th. But Kayleigh was able to
bear powerful testimony on going forward with faith which was awesome
that we could see really clicked with him! He started seeming more
comfortable about things and even said the closing prayer!! He
committed to pray the whole week about March 10th.
Monday night was a straight miracle! We had our lesson planned with
RJ, so quick background on RJ, she’s married to Joe. Joe is a convert
of 5 years now. She has been on/off investigating the church probably
3 years now. She’s a very prideful and independent woman. She is all
about “spirituality, energy, reincarnation” and practically laughed at
me a couple weeks ago when I extended the invitation of baptism to her
a couple weeks ago. So anyway, we were having dinner with the
LaMarr’s, and Joe has always talked about how huge Bro. LaMarr was in
his conversion. So Bro. LaMarr is basically Thanos from the Marvel
comics dead serious haha. Looks just like him, has a deep powerful
voice anyway, so while at dinner I just told him “You know Joe thinks
the world of you, and we’re having a lesson with RJ tonight and I
think it would be good if you could come with us” so he said he would
come. And I can’t even explain the world of difference he made. We do
the lessons in the Williams home, who are Joe and RJ’s close friends
in the church and that also is huge being in members homes for
lessons! We talked about the Plan of Salvation and RJ was throwing
stuff out that kinda had us unsure about how to counter it. But Bro
Williams and Bro LaMarr just related things so perfectly to RJ to make
things understandable to her and the spirit was there. And you could
see that she was starting to understand everything. It was so crazy to
see how things had gone from the start of the lesson to the end, RJ
had a complete change of heart. At the end she was starting to talk
about March 31st like it was actually gonna happen and asking about
who could baptize her! It was incredible to see. The impact that
members have is amazing. I basically realized during that lesson how
much easier it is having members there and having them teach.
Incredible.
Sorry no pics, love y’all 🤟
