So This week was great :)
Its been kind of crazy.. Sister Havens goes home in 2 weeks and so that has put a sense of urgency into everything we do. She is excited but nervous to go home, and just hearing her talk about it is making me realize how fast my time her is going by...
But it was a GREAT week, kind of a roller coaster with some pf the people we are teaching but its been good, even with all of that :)
Okay im going to start from the beginning of the week because monday was sooo Awesome! We had a lesson with a less active set up and when we got to his house the family that he is living with uscame out and were talking with us. We have been teaching the Grandma of the Family about the Family Search website and she came out to show us some of the work that she had done so far. She was so excited to show us and gave us the PERFECT opportunity to testify of the blessing we enjoy of having eternal families. The spirit was so strong and they had a lot of questions. We answered them and sister Havens invited them to sit in for our lesson. He had a powerful lesson about the Restoration of the Gospel, and they are both excited to learn more. It was GREAT!
I also wanted to update you all on the lady that almost kicked us out of her house the other day. We went back to see her this week, and let me tell you, God still performs miracles today. We went back and just talked to her for a while and she told us that she had decided to come back to church! She completely did a 180 and is all excited about coming and being an example to her family. It was a HUGE testimony to me that God can soften people's hearts as we sincerely pray for them and follow His direction :)
We had a lot of other miracles with the people we are teaching, and a couple sad moments where a few people decided they didnt want to learn anymore...But God always makes up for the disappointments so I know good things are coming our way :)
We also had the Chance to have President Interviews where is got to sit down one on one with my mission president, and he is an awesome man. The spirit is so strong when he speaks...plus he's pretty funny, so i always enjoy our interviews.
Umm our ward also had a super fun Halloween party, sister Havens and I got to help set up for it. They had us stuff balloons with candy..and its a LOT harder then it sounds, our fingers were so sore after 2 hours of it.
BUT the best part of this week.....
1) Evan our investigator was baptized this week
and 2) one of my investigators from Mesa Linda, Sean, was baptized.
It is always great to see people make those promises with the Lord, but is was especially exciting to go back and see sean be baptized. He is from a part member family, and it was so cool to see how happy is family was. They thanked me for being able to plant the seed in his heart to accept the gospel, and it was just soo exciting to see how much happier the gospel has made him in the last year alone.
Anyways it was a great week.
I love hearing from you all :)
Thank you for the emails and sending the pictures :)
Love,
Sister Becca Redd
p.s. happy Birthday Lance!
