Hello family and friends!
So this week, Hm... Let me scan over what happened. It was pretty good. Our recent convert who I told you about getting baptized last week has hit some bumps in the road, just like a lot of us may struggle with after receiving some divine answer of some sort. There will always be something thrown in our path that is trying to make us trip and fall, or mess up. But our choice to look ahead and prepare to see what's coming and step over, to the side or on it to over come what has been thrown in our way. The coolest thing is the gospel of Jesus Christ is our binoculars to see what may lay ahead and prepare ourselves for what's coming. It's all good with The Lord on our side!
This week we also got to meet with a lady that we recently contacted, she was very sweet. As we taught her the restoration the spirit was strong and she really was able to connect the dots of the importance of the priesthood authority and modern day prophets. When we extended the baptismal commitment she looked at us with the biggest smile, and said "Oh really? I am so flattered you would ask me!" Haha. It's The Lord offering this! Offering blessing and happiness she felt as we taught.
The next time we met with her we asked if she read the Book of Mormon we gave her, she said a little and told us she read a verse in the Book of Mormon that spoke of how we will see our loved ones after this life. Sis. Black and I were stunned, this was so cool! She told us in the lesson prior about her sister being shot when she was 14 and how that really put her into depression and still gives her such a hard time, as well as her father who died a couple years ago. So for her to open up to that particular verse of scripture was just a testimony to me that the Book of Mormon does answer question of the soul, name that God is very aware of all of our needs.
At the end of the lesson, she turned to us and said, "where'd did you guys learn this!?" Haha I love it.
So this week was wonderful. We were able to meet lots of good people, share the world from one side of Chicago to the other! We also got to eat on someone's roof top which was so gorgeous and we ended right before a huge black cloud started to roll in!
I hope y'all have a wonderful week! And hopefully will get to hear from you soon!
Love you!
