holy cotton. its a thing down here....
SO...like i mentioned last week...sister lenhart and i are still in rosenberg..didnt get transfered..but some crrraazzzyyy stuff went down!! sister lenhart got made an STL too..so we are team STLs..im supposed to train her how to be one as we go ;) AND we got another set of missionaries in the area aka our area got split!! bittersweet initially...but now im LOVIN IT!! i was sad at first because the part that got cut out of our area had the majority of our progressing investigators...BUT we found some new ones and are super stoked for the opportunity to work with the other sisters to just EXPLODE this area!!! we really feel like Heavenly Father has been preparing these people for a while and NOW THIS PLACE IS A GOLD MIND!!! ex 1 we went to try a less active member's house **knock knock** not home...so we try their neighbor **knock knock** answered!!! had a nice two minute lesson, said a prayer with her, but then found out she was moving (still within our area though ha ha..YES) and then asked her who else she knows that would be interested in a message of jesus christ and she tells us about her next door neighbor...**knock knock** "message of jesus christ? come on in.." 15 minutes later she is committed to read in the book of mormon and pray about getting baptized. ex 2 walking out of walmart today and i see a lady struggling with two young sons to get them out of the car so i offer her our cart..she is super grateful and wayyy nice so we tell her we are missionaries and offer service and share messages that bless families etc etc turns out she just moved here and hasnt found a church yet...gave us her number and everything and asked us to call her asap!!! WHO ARE THESE GEMS?!?!?! it really is such a blessing because when i first realized how they cut the area i was like fiddlesticks. we are starting at square 2 (not square 1 because we had some people...but still) but then Heavenly Father was like no worries! if you are obedient, i got your back!!!! HE IS THE BEST!!!
highlight of the week though was ARIANA's baptism!!!! she is the sweetest, most spiritual little girl i have EVER met! the baptism itself went really well (got to play my uke ;)) and there was an amazing amount of ward support and her non-member mom came, etc etc but i must say...the most memorable part for me was before the baptism......
so the baptism was supposed to take place after church..so halfway through 2nd hour we go and turn the font on...right before sacramment (we have it last in this ward) we go check it again and decide it needs a little more time....so when we go to turn it off right after we take the bread and water....the font is nearly over flowing!!! like if someone put their big toe in that font it wouldve overflowed!!!! so we start taking bucket after bucket of water and dump it into a nearby drain thing..mind you we are in this tiny, enclosed room with a steamy overflowing font AND we are lifting buckets of water like crazy ladies....needless to say about 15 minutes and 5000000+ buckets later two sweaty sister missionaries made it back to hear the end of sacrament meeting hahaha it was AWESOME!!!! i guess you could say we really take the saying "whatever it takes to get 'em baptized" to heart haha
well i hope yall have the best week!! yall are awesome!!
paz y bendiciones!
los quiero muchisisimo!
