Shaq & Kobe,
Jordan & Pippen, Serena & Venus. What do all these people have in
common? They can’t compete with Beecher & Bennett. It’s been a long year
comin but the dream team was finally assembled of Elder Bennett & Elder
Beecher Halladay! We got to go on exchanges together yesterday and it was such
a blast! We taught a couple with a young family in the morning & our
mission President came along and it was so incredible! We taught the Plan of
Salvation and they were like sponges soaking it up. Justin, the husband isn’t
able to be baptized at the moment for legal reasons but we were able to put his
wife on Date for baptism September 15th! Dream Team.
This week was such an
incredible week of being a missionary! My heart is so full & I have so much
love for the people of Laramie. The work is going amazing, we’re seeing so many
miracles, and I’m excited & enthusiastic about this incredible work!
We had a man who just
showed up at church last week named Danny. Him & his wife were on their way
to Oregon & broke down in Laramie. Danny was at one point while living in
Missouri on Date for baptism but he missed his date. He has an incredible
amount of love and respect for The Church of Jesus Christ, and the
missionaries. We went & taught him & his wife Wednesday and asked him
to kneel down and pray about the Book of Mormon & Joseph Smith & he was
like okay let’s do it now. So we all knelt down and prayed, before he prayed he
said, God’s gonna laugh at me for asking cause I already know the answer &
that’s that it’s true! He said a sincere humble prayer and we were able to set
a baptismal date with him. He came to church this week, now we’re just working
on helping him quit smoking.
We had Zone Conference
Thursday & I got Elder Shellman back so we back together again!
Our Bishop called us
up Friday morning and told us we needed to help with an emergency
move. We went over and it was a less active woman who needed to be out by the
end of the month. While moving and talking we learned that she had 2 boys, 9
& 11, and a daughter 16, who none were baptized. They hadn’t been active
cause her husband who she’s in the process of divorcing from basically said
it’s me or the church & she chose him. Fast forward to Sunday, her and the
2 boys came, I sat with the 9 year old who has mild autism, his name is Byron
& I love this boy so much, he’s hilarious! After sacrament meeting his mom
said Byron the missionaries can teach you and you can get baptized, do you want
to get baptized? And he looked at me and said “Yes & I want you to baptize
me!” It was so heartwarming and such a miracle! So we’re going to teach the 2
boys tomorrow and we’re so excited!
There’s so many miracles from this week but
this would turn into a 5 page essay if I listed them all haha. I love my Savior
Jesus Christ and am grateful to be a tool in his hands in this marvelous work!
Love y’all!
