MY FAMILY IS GOING CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

WHAT IS WITH THIS! I AM GONE MAYBE 8 MONTHS AND MY PARENTS JUMP OUT OF A PLANE AND MY DAD STARTS TAKING FLYING LESSONS! (hmmm, maybe my mom jumped out of a plane to prepare herself for Dad's flying lessons... :) love ya daddy :) :)

 

This last week has been amazing! I have loved it so much!

 

To end with, we went to the Alb. Temple yesterday and had a great drive! It was 3.5 hours there and 3.5 hrs back in the same day! Lots of letter writing time. But we were in the temple from 10am to 2pm. It was sooo beautiful! And it was so great to hear and learn more. Never can gain everything at once. It was even more special to know that I was doing it for someone I was related to. I felt more directly connected with them. It was also great to have so many sisters with us. All of the sisters were either trainers or training and the session was full to capacity.  It always goes so fast and so slow at the same time.

 

It was also fun to see so many missionaries that I know! Sister Lindsey and who she is training was there and we were able to take a generation photo there. Its funny how in missionary world, if you even met someone for a few min. or served near them, then you know each other. I was also able to see members from the Bernalillo ward serving there! Fantastic!

 

Another miracle that happened this last week was with a less active family that we have been working with for about 8 weeks now. The miracle! They came to church! Both husband and wife! It was sooo great to see this wonderful couple come back to church after leaving it about 8 years ago! And not only that but they loved it, they felt so welcomed and I am so excited for them to come back again on Sunday. They are amazing people and it is great to see them coming back and keeping there covenants again.  I know that it will lead them to the temple and to more blessings than imaginable!

 

Something else that was great came when we were teaching a woman who use to be an investigator. We went with the intent to teach the Plan of Salvation, but we could just tell that it was not clicking with her. So half way through, we stopped and asked her about all the churches that she has been to and how she was able to know what was true and what was not when addressing the same topics or scriptures. She said that she had no idea how. We were able to invite her to pray and listen for an answer from God, something that she had never considered before. It was great and I am excited for her to begin receiving her answers!

 

It is mind blowing how important prayer as a 2 way communication with God is and how people do not know how to use it or what it means. I know that Prayer has always helped me in my life and it still continues to do so. I love having that direct communication with my Heavenly Father. He loves us and reaches out to us.

 

It seems that a reoccurring theme this week has been prayer and scripture study. We have had a few people we are teaching who knows that both are good, but they didn't really seem to understand the huge importance of it and the significance that God has granted unto us these gifts to learn more from him!

 

Last night, we had about 1hr of proselyting time when we got home and decided to go and knock on doors. We decided to try a street I had been on in the past, and my companion was very inspired about which home we needed to try that night. At one house, we knocked and were invited right in. We asked if we could leave a blessing on her and her home and she readily said yes. She told us about her family and loved ones and we were able to set up a time to go back and teach her about how important families are and about how we can be a family forever (past til death do we part) I am sooo excited to be able to go and share with her more about her purpose in life, why she is where, where she is from and where she is going!
