Desire

Good morning everyone! I hope you all are doing good today!

We had an interesting week this week! Tuesday night was amazing! We taught 2 people that want to get baptized really badly! It's so cool to see this miracle after the previous people we were teaching got too busy or not interested. I definitely know that God is always preparing people for us to teach.

The first friend we have is Bryton. He's a Sophomore in High School and is going to seminary! He loves the seminary teacher and loves the things he's learning in it! He told us that he wants to get baptized which was amazing! Seminary works miracles! He already met a member of the ward who is a wrestler like him too! We love Bryton and want the best for him.

The second friend we have who wants to be baptized is Sara Haskell. Her husband is a member and she had met with missionaries RIGHT before Covid then stopped for whatever reason. She was set as "not interested" in area book which was weird. We only found her because we decided to call all our not being taught records who have numbers that previous Thursday and she answered and was super excited! She said she had been praying without answers for a long time and that we are here to help her! She said she needs change and more Jesus in her life and we are doing all we can. 
She also has a member friend in the Twin Falls South Stake (my 1st area) who I knew pretty well! We invited her over and they bonded SUPER fast. We answered questions and taught her but had to get going pretty quickly. Sara is definitely elect.

And random referrals that should pan out pretty soon happened too! One of the member families in Hansen have supposedly been taking a nonmember friend to early morning seminary in Kimberly! We are going to find out who it is this week! 

Something I loved in church while trying not to fall asleep was a talk Sister McQueen gave on Desire. I really needed that and loved her insights on what the desires of our hearts are and how that can affect our actions. Also what we a re fueling our desires with. All of her talk was amazing and I invite you all to fill your desires with Christ and promise that you will see more miracles and blessings in your life as you do so.

Afton for 2!

Image
Hey everyone, sorry for no email last week, I was waiting to send one after I got transfer news! I'm staying in Afton for another transfer and getting a new companion! His name is Elder Garcia and he's from Arkansas! He's super funny and we get along really well! This area is just a roller-coaster! We used to have 4-5 potentials for this month and now we have like 2. It has been sad to see the situations that make the people we are teaching wait to get baptized. We are doing our best and being diligent while on the Lord's errand and we hope to see miracles! This area is amazing and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for it!

Unexpected surprises...

So, this last week has been amazing. Elder Jones and I have gone around visiting a ton of members so that we can get to know their neighbors. We have already seen success from this and are going to continue to do it. A miracle we saw this last Tuesday was a call from the Seminary teacher in the stake. He called and told us about this girl who wants to be baptized and wanted to meet that next day! So we met with her and 2 of her friends on Wednesday and she is ELECT! Many things in her life have lead her to this moment and now her friends are helping her make that choice to follow the Savior.  After that lesson at noon, we set the next one for 7:30 the next day just before transfers! We taught her the plan that God has for us and invited her to be baptized. She agreed and set a goal for June 3rd! It is amazing what the lord has in store for each and every person on the earth. The amount of love he shows us through the scriptures and just in the world around us is beautiful.  Th...

The Elect

Hey everyone! Sorry for missing an email this last week, I realized I needed to write one at 10pm and just decided to wait till today. We had transfers this last week and I get to stay in the Kimberly 1 area and I swapped out Elder Johnson for Elder Villezcas (VE-yez-kas)! He loves anything to do with Sonic the Hedgehog and loves to talk. This is going to be a fun transfer! Last week went slow like the end of a transfer usually does but now we have to get that momentum again. There weren't a ton of miracles either but they are definitely coming back.  Something that I saw happen last week was when Elder Johnson and I were teaching this really old guy named Tom Smith. He's a PMF and had been meeting with missionaries for a LONG time and we had finally dug through his concerns to whether or not he believes Joseph Smith is a prophet or not. We had challenged him the week before to make up his mind on that subject but he had forgotten that part of the challenge when we came back. A...
