I loved reading Eric's email. He is going to be an amazing
missionary!
That is cool that Brother Snyder is one of his teachers.
Brother Snyder would come in our class a lot and help us out. He is an amazing
teacher. Eric is lucky to have him! I can't believe that my little brother is
on his mission. I am so excited for everything that he will experience! I know
that I say this a lot, but the mission is life changing and there is no where I
would rather be. I am glad that Eric seems to be loving it as much as I am. :)
This week was another great one. We had one of the most amazing lessons that
I've had yet on my mission. We talked about the Plan of Salvation with a family and the
daughter (18 years old) had really good questions. After the lesson we asked
them how they felt, and the mom didn't say much but then the daughter started
sharing her testimony. She talked about how she knew that the Book of Mormon
was true and was so grateful that we were sharing this with her. She told us
that she had the feeling and that she knew it was the spirit because she felt
really warm and peaceful. She said she knew that it was an answer to her
prayers. Before we left we invited them to church and the mom said she didn't
know if they could come but then the daughter said, "no mom, I have a
feeling that we need to go."
Her prayer at the end of the lesson was also very
powerful. The spirit was really strong in the room and the daughter recognized
it. The mom and dad didn't want to take her on Sunday and so we found a ride
for her and she came to church! We haven't had the chance to talk with her much
about it after but we have an appointment with her tomorrow.
We had another investigator come to church
who is also 18. We are teaching her and her mom, but her mom never comes to
church because she works Sundays. She stayed after to watch a baptism and she
told me that she thought it was neat. She says that she likes coming to this
church because it's different then any other church shes been to. She says that
she feels different here. It so cool to watch people change as they accept the
gospel in their lives.
This week we had zone conference and this coming week we
have another sisters meeting. I'm looking forward to it. :) Also, our recent
convert just had her baby!!! It's her 4th boy. We are going to go visit her
tonight and see the little baby! :)
OK, I made it up. Curtis is definitely tanner than me. I
can't get tan! Ha ha. I don't burn either it's weird. Last week we found out that the bike ride was
14 miles. It was such a good work out. The Elders rode their bikes back so they
went twice as long as we did. We got spoiled and had members drive us home. :)
Love you all so much! :)
