To start off with, I guess most of you know now, but ive been having some pain in my knee and some people in the stake think i may have a torn meniscus. I went into a real doctor, and he wasn't sure what it was hahah, but he said I needed an MRI. So I got in contact with them, and I now have an appointment for the MRI on Monday the 26 so well wait till then to find out more about the ol knee, haha. Thank you for all the prayers already. I know everything will happen the way God wants :D
Anyway, another awesome week. We were able to get back in touch with stephanie and had a lesson with her. She seemed down, but seems to want to continue learning and wants to be baptized. She understand what she has to do, and what she need to decide, so until then we are planning on continuing to help her learn and grow, and wait till she feels confident in following the gospel.
We had a few really good lessons with Denise this week. She is the bomb. She just soaks everything in and then goes home and prays about it. She also has been reading the book of Mormon, and says she loves the way it makes her feel. She says she has a lot to do but wants to still read it, so she said she wakes up early. So I asked how early, Oh ya know i get up around 4 and read and pray about what you teach me. What!! Shes 13!!! No one does that, especially not a kid! Its pretty cool. Sister graham, the family we have the lessons at, took Denise to the temple and they went and walked around, and read in the waiting room for a while. She said she really liked it, and said she loved the calmness. Shes a really special girl. She decided on a baptismal date for october 8. We think she could be ready sooner, but with some family things, and then conference on the 1st, we decided on the 8th!
We met a woman down in spring valley, the english ward, and she was super interested. She talked a ton about her life and her backstory, but about half way through told us she wanted to be baptized. I guess her daughter is a member and says she loves the way shes changed and wants to change that way too! We also helped her pick a date for oct 15!
We had a fun zone meeting up in flagstaff. It was good. Its fun going up to flag. Its about an hour and half north of us and we go up through sedona, and go through a really pretty canyon.
We talked about preach my gospel a lot. President griffin found a paper on the history of preach my gospel and its pretty incredible how many people, and how much effort was put into it. So now the focus is preach my gospel.
Umm what esle.
I hit my year mark in the field this week haha.
Oh we found edgar again, down in spring valley. He has been having some issues with his shoulder and has had a bunch of doctors appointments, but we passed at the right time. Its really cool teaching him, because he is really searching for the truth. He is the man that is really focused on John ch.17 where it talks about missionary work, and only two churches really seem to do that. But he was really into the lesson, and loved the first vision. I dont know it in english so i said it in english He asked us to bring it to him in writing, because he says he would like to memorize it as well! haha Ive never had an investigator want to memorize the first vision, and especially not before they even became a member. So that was fun.
Rosa is still doing good. Still no word on her divorce papers but as soon as those are in she is going to be soo ready!!! She is now the most active member of the branch, and shes not even baptized! She has been to church 8 weeks in a row. Sadly more than anyone including the branch president. Shes loves it, and come to everlasting we do, including cleaning the church this month haha. She invites all her friends and then wants to come to lessons with us to get her friends pumped about it haha. shes awesome.
Well were off to the branch party!
Everyone have a good one!
