Week 50 Vedauwoo


     We saw a really cool miracle this week!! We received a text a couple weeks ago from a woman named Rebecca who said she wanted to meet with us and felt like she could really use it (Elder Cerezo & his old comp tracted into her). Well we went to teach her on Friday and she started opening up to us about how she wanted to come closer to God & how she was already working on quitting smoking & coffee cause she wanted to live a healthier life!! We taught her the Restoration and talked w/ her about baptism. She said it was something she wanted to do but wanted to do it on her birthday cause of special meaning behind it. So we set a baptismal date w/ her for her birthday on December 11th! It’s good tho cause she’s currently living w/ her boyfriend who’s a less active member so it gives time to clear that up. She actually was talking w/ us and saying how she was already talking w/ him about getting married cause that’s something she wants! The boyfriend although not active is 100% supportive & even told Rebecca he’d drive her to see Temple Square if this is something she wants to do. After the lesson we gave Rebecca a blessing to overcame her addiction to smoking. We came back the next day & she told us she was receiving some negativity from her sister about taking the lessons by Mormons and she told us she didn’t care. It’s the first religion she’s ever been drawn to that makes her happy so she’s gonna stick with it! Rebecca is awesome and such a miracle! She also told us that the priesthood blessing was really weird but it worked haha! She said it was just weird how we put our hands on her head and all that but she said that her cravings don’t last very long and it hasn’t been very hard! We visited her yesterday and she’s still clean from smoking!

     We’re also teaching a returning member named Christy who was baptized a couple years ago but hasn’t been to the temple. She texted us this week and said she’s ready to get her crap together so she can go to the temple. She’s got Word of Wisdom problems she struggles with but we’re working with her on that!

     We went on exchanges w/ the AP’s on Thursday & I was w/ Elder Judd. This made me realize how much I miss Colorado, especially Loveland haha. We did a TON of weeding for a member, it was crazy, I’ll attach pics. The member had 7 Boston terriers that were so cute and kept running around us while we were weeding it was fun. But the really big miracle was after that service I found a frog that we decided we were gonna put inside the Loveland ZL’s apartment. So we went to do that & there were a couple people in the same apartment complex as the ZL’s Elder Judd wanted to contact since we were there. We contacted a guy named Jessie who was like “Oh did y’all wanna talk for a little? Lemme get my shoes on” So we went & taught him the Restoration & he was so prepared you wouldn’t believe haha! It was probably one of the easiest Restoration lessons I’ve ever taught, he was finishing things we’d say, fully comprehended everything, and we set a date for him to be baptized in August. We both walked away kinda laughing just as what happened, we didn’t even have a lesson scheduled w/ Jessie that day but the Lord pointed us in the direction to him cause of how prepared he was!

     We went and hiked Vedauwoo today and then went and saw the Lincoln Memorial out here. It was pretty dope!

     We have transfers this next week, chances are I’ll most likely stay & Elder Cerezo will leave cause he’s been here for 3 transfers. Thanks for all the love & support! Stay hustlin! 🤟
