July 15, week in review

Mom told me that Jeremy had sent some letters. I have not recieved them yet, I am sorry for not recognizing you Jeremy, but THANK YOU FOR SENDING THEM AND HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Expect something in the mail this week. Thank you also to Ryan, Rachel, Mom, and Dad, who also sent letters! I thank you all also for the gifts that came in the packaging this past week. Also thank you this morning from the pictures and video from Elizabeth, Thanks for the emails from mom and dad. You are all the best!

Unfortunately, Jacobs baptism did not go through. His mom felt he needed a little more time. Oh well, no one can argue with that. The parents do recieve more revelation for their kids that we do.

But we did find yet another miracle this week. We had plans to visit a Former Investigator. We came to the door of this apparentment complex and knocked. A girl in her early 20's answered. "Oh..." We said, "is Joseph here?" She explained nobody by that name lived there anymore. She further explained that she was Catholic. (Those types of situations tend to make us want to hang our heads.) But we just began explaining about the Book of Mormon. We showed her the pictures in the front, spoke about Joseph Smith, how the Gospel path and preisthood are now restored, and she listened intently and answered our questions. She expkained to us that she was pregnant and had moved out of her parents house and is now living with her boyfriend. We talked with her a little more about that, and then showed her the promise in the front of the Book of Mormon and asked if she would say a standing prayer with us, to know if it was true. SHE DID! Wow, it was beautiful! In the prayer she said "Thank you for answering my prayers in knowing what route I should take in religion by sending these two men here today." Then we set her on date for September 15, and she is scheduled to meet us for a church tour this week! Woo hoo!

Plus there is a family really close to where we live who speak spanish. At first we just taught the daughter, now we are teaching the mom, the dad would have nothing to do with it until we brought our friend Danillo who spoke fluent spanish, and now the dad is the most-likely to be baptized in the whole home! That was exciting! Plus their friend also comes to meet with us. And now the Dad is trying to get that friend to come with him to church.

Anyway, I have to get going to an appointment with the psychiatrist in Seattle! Will talk to you all next week!
