WOW! That is all I can say about
this week and the wow comes from this Saturday and Sunday!
So this Saturday we
had 6 people being interviewed 5 people from 1 family and 1 girl who is the
wife of the son of a member. :) Anyway they all got interviewed this Saturday
and all passed but right here is where the craziness starts. We had just
contacted these 2 families from a referral from this way awesome member family.
It’s the same family whose son is the one that has the wife being baptized this
next Saturday. So we have only taught the family 3 times and the father has
never been there. They want to go to church way bad but have no way to go
because the father didn't want to drive there trike and they have no money to
pay for the travel. So, me and Elder Arrinton and 2 members that live out by
them began looking at different ways we could get them to church. But nobody
had enough room on their motorcycles and all other 15 ideas of ours just didn’t
work.
So, Elder Arrington and I went
into a room, knelt down and prayed. After we prayed we felt that those two
members needed to go to this family that wanted to go to church. The two members needed to talk with the
father. As they were about to go one of
the members said he didn't feel right. So they went back to the house and
prayed. After that they looked at each other and said now we feel good. They went to this families house and talked
to the father. They bore their testimonies and told him why the church was
important to them. So the next day Elder Arrington and I were waiting in the
chapel and sacrament meeting was about to start. I was just about to start
feeling a little bummed and then all of the sudden we see the mother of that
family and her HUSBAND and children are right behind her!!!!!!!!!!:) We leaped
out of our seats, pretty much ran over to them, greeted them and got them seats
by their member friends they knew!
When I saw them I got filled with
this happiness that I have never felt before. I literally felt it fill my whole
body. It was amazing. They are so
prepared by God!
Members are where the power is
at!!!:) And to top it all off we had a total of 14 investigators at church and
11 of them have a date for baptism!!!!:)
This week was awesome!!!!:)
It also rained....:) And we also are
making companionship pants:)

Jeffrey explained what companionship pants means – they are
buying some material and having someone make pants for them, so they will have
matching pants. J
