so...my new companion is Sister Lenhart from Nephi, Utah...and I STINKIN LOVE HER!!!! she loves volleyball and singing and guitar etc etc etc...we get along SUPER well and are so similar it's weird sometimes...i am sooo excited to be working with her! even though i am training in english for the first time...its tight because sister lenhart really really wants to learn spanish and took it in college so i can keep mine up! also, we realized that our voices blend really well so we have major goals to get some baptism so we can sing little duets at them ;) and it looks like we will be able to make our dreams come true because Heavenly Father blessed us with a MIRACLE!! ok..more like a million miracles a day..but ill just mention a couple ;)
*so stacy...she has a date for the 15th right? but her biggest obstacle is to quit smoking...when we asked how she was doing a couple days ago she said that its gotten bad and that she was worried about how much she was smoking...we committed her to read a scripture and say a prayer anytime that she wants to light up a cigarette...the next time we saw (saturday) her she informed us that she had gone from 2 packs of 20 cigs a day..to only 5 or 6!!!!!!!!!!!!! TALK ABOUT PROGRESS!!! she is doing amazing and strengthening my testimony of the power of scripture and prayer :)
*before leaving stacy's on saturday we asked her "who else do you know that could benefit from our message?" she thought about it for a second and then mentioned a neighbor of hers...so we left and immediately knocked on said neighbor's door! a sweet lady named Shirley answered the door and as soon as we mentioned "Jesus Christ" she said "Come right in!". we only had about 7 minutes before we needed to leave to make another appointment...but we sat down with her and boldly testified of the restored gospel of jesus christ and invited her to be baptized. she said yes so fast i almost questioned it! and then came even more "yeses" yes ill come to church, yes ill read the pamphlet, yes please come back tomorrow, etc etc etc.....
the next morning we knocked on her door to pick her up for church and she was all dressed and ready to go with her Book of Mormon in hand!!!!!! she LOVED church and when we stopped by later in the day the first thing she said to us was, "ive been to a lot of churches..but i like yours best! i like the aura....can i go back next week?? id really enjoy that.." WHAT THE GOLDEN?! and it gets better!! we read a chapter in the book of mormon with her and she asked if we could read another with her...and she wanted to keep going, but we had to jet so we asked her to read it on her own..she said she would read the next four chapters, and then asked if we could come back "tomorrow" (aka today) so we will!! i love this lady soooo much!! she is amazing! pray that she also can quit smoking..we are teaching the word of wisdom tonight!!
i love love loooovveee this work guys..for real..nothing is better!!!! trust me, you wanna share the gospel..you wont regret it ;) so do it!!
