Some good news...

This week was pretty good, the weather wasn't too horrible, or maybe I have just been blessed enough to not remember it! Oh just kidding I just remembered that the kids were out of school because it was too cold to go... haha BUT its all good,  we got some good things done and met some wonderful people through our hard work and dedication.

We have been looking for service opportunities to be able to talk to more people, so we went to the hospital to see if we could talk to people who were in crisis. Haha well it turns out we can't because of a contract people sign and the respect for religion and such, anyways we got to talk to the head Chaplin of this area of Spirituality and Mission office of the Hospital and it was pretty cool because she was really interested in the Mormon faith we were able to share our beliefs with her and answer all of her questions. There are a lot of stereo types about Mormons and rumors, so it's so nice to be able to talk to someone and tell them what we believe. We believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior and only through Him we can be able to return to out Heavenly Father. We believe that Joseph Smith is a prophet called by God to Restored God's church and that the Book of Mormon is evidence that we can hold in our hands, read and pray to know for out selves of the truthfulness of the things Joseph Smith brought forth as well as how the Christs church is ran. I love the Book of Mormon and what it was done for me. It is just one book, but has been able to answer any questions or concerns I have for life. In 1 Nephi it talks about the Liahona which is a ball that directs Lehi and His family. I like to compare this ball to the scriptures. When we use the scriptures for guidance in our daily lives The Lord Promises us blessing. He will show you the way. When we want to talk to our Heavenly Father we pray, when we need to hear from him we read the Scriptures. Its so nice to be able to have this book, to be a Latter-Day Saint and have the privilege of being able to share it with everyone who needs it.

There are people looking for answers and there is a Book who has all of them and a God who is more than willing to show you them.

We have been showing a Mormon message video called "How the book of Mormon Changed my life" I love this video because it shows 3 different people, with 3 different challenges, but the SAME book giving them hope for the future.

So here is some exciting news. We have been working with this couple since November... and they are awesome. The wife is just top notch and so ready to follow the Lord and do His will. She called us last week and said she wanted to schedule her baptism!! I was fainting..." wait what? you wanna do what?" That's what happened in my head for a sec. So she is getting baptized this month! She and her husband came to church yesterday and are planning on coming the next Sunday so that they can get baptized! I am straight up so excited. I can't even believe the blessing I have to be able to know her and see her testimony grow of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Guys! This is the True Church! THIS is CHRIST's church. 

In this area there are a lot of wealthy and big nice homes, as well as tons of churches, more than Mormon churches ;) hah when we tract so many people say well I already belong to this church, or I am a devote ____ It's great. We need more people to follow Christ. But this Church is Christ's Church with the fullness of His teachings. Do you understand what that brings? The Fullness of everlasting Joy, the Fullness of hope, the Fullness of peace, the Fullness of Happiness. It's a wonderful thing and it's so cool to be able to see people come to a realization of that for themselves. You don't know until you try it! Just read the Book of Mormon, what can you lose? Haha I love this Church and I love this Gospel. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet who Restored Christ's Church through the priesthood authority given to him by God. I know we have a living day prophet who leads and guides us through the direct communication with God. I love the fact that my family can be together forever, and that death is not the end of the relationships I have made here on this earth.

I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful week, you all deserve it!

Love, Sister Tincher :)
