Hi Mom and Dad,
This week has been a really exciting week for us.
We had a Regional Broadcast for Conference this week with Dallin
H. Oaks. He did a really good job on speaking about member missionary work and
how it is a member’s duty. I was especially excited when I learned this
broadcast was being sent to our entire region because I was watching the same
broadcast as my sister Megan…at the same time, YEA!
We had one of our investigators, who we have been working
with for a month and a half, come to church for the first time. We had invited
him several times, but he just showed up, out of the blue. We were really
excited! He seemed like he enjoyed church. We will be trying to meet with him
again this week. He had to leave half way through the broadcast, but he sat
thru the part I think he needed the most and missed the parts he may not
understand being a non-member.
We were able to help a lady get some peace. She came up to
us and asked us in church if she could have a Book of Mormon. We said of course
she could. We made an appointment and we will be meeting with her this upcoming
week. She started to cry and it was awesome because the Spirit was there!
Elder Baker and I are getting along great. We had the Spanish
speaking elders over and I made everyone breakfast. I made homemade hash browns
and over a dozen eggs for four elders, using half the package of bacon crumples
you sent in your box. You should have seen it, it was a sight to behold…!!!
That reminds me, I did get your box. Thanks for all the
goodies, Elder Baker and I are almost done with the Easter candy. Also, thanks
for all the other things in the box, it made my day! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Gibson for
their letter and support while I’m out here. I really appreciate all the
E-Mails, Letters and goodies I get from everyone, many thanks to all!
We have been working through potential investigators this
week and have had a little success, but not very much. We talked with a lady
who is coming back to activity and she shared an experience on paying her
tithing. She said that it was hard right now. We were able to promise blessings
will come and we have an appointment with her this week.
We set up an appointment the week to meet with a family
where we are able to practice the activity for member missionary work found in
preach my gospel. This activity is where they make a list of names they would
like to see have the gospel in their lives.
We get to SKYPE you for Mother’s Day on Sunday. I can’t wait
to see you and talk to you.
I Love You and Pray for you Every Night and Day!
