I am sorry. This will be
rushed. Elder Pease and I are singing and preparing our Firesides today to show
President and we have a bit of work to do.
Dundee
is amazing. I love the ward so much and the area is so amazing. Elder Parsons
is so good! I am so blessed right now. We have a baptism on Thursday! Her
name is Irene Glen. She is so amazing. She is a referral from a recent convert.
A
cool story that happened this week. They taught this girl named Paula twice
before I got there. We invite everyone to be baptized in the first lesson. And
she didn't accept. Then I got there. She and I clicked really fast. The second
lesson we had with her, I invited her to be baptized (on Feb. 26th) and
she still wasn't sure. But I said to her "Paula, if you wanted to say no,
then you would have told us no already. I know you want to do this." She
answered and said "You've only known me for two days, and you already know
what I am thinking." I said "I may have known you for two days, but
God has known you forever." I asked her to pray about it, and said we
would call her at half 9 when we got home. I called and she was really silent.
Then she said "Alright, I will be baptized." The next day was Sunday and
she was telling all the ward that she was getting baptized and how excited she
was and that she still needed to plan everything and ask people to do things.
She has already changed so much in the short 4 days I have known her. I know Christ
loves her and is helping her to grow. I don't tell this story to brag but to
show how Heavenly Father knows each of His children. He knew that Paula and I
would click. He knew that she needed me to be really bold. I didn't let her get
away that night without an answer. We need to be lovingly bold because we know
how much they NEED this. The Lord knows us so well!
We
were knocking doors and we met this man named David who was on charges because
he beat someone half to death. That was really a little frightening. We then
went over to an investigator, named Vincent, who told us he had gotten beaten
up earlier by David. We don't know if it's the same David but the coincidence
is incredible... We could be teaching two people that have tried to kill each
other. Awesome.
We
run 4 miles every morning. I almost had a heart attack the first run. I'm lucky
to be alive.
Elder
Parsons plays the piano, so we might be doing a lot of musical numbers in
church. The ward is so good at finding out what people did when they were
home...
I
love it here so much. I love you all so much.
Keep
Fighting the Good Fight
