This week was a special one!




Hello fammm and friends! 
This week was a special one! 
First off I just wish I was really good at writing and putting together the things and the feelings and the events that happen with missionary work, because it's really quite an adventure. I can't believe the things that happen out here! Words can't really describe it all. 

Aaron, Tammy baptism, Gina, Wallace's, 

We had another lesson with Aaron he is a young guy that invites his friends along with to listen to the discussions, it's so cool. But this time we had the APs come to the lesson because we were going to pass them along to them since they are over the young single adult ward. It was a good lesson, all over the place but good! They have so many questions! A taught them about the apostasy and priesthood to have a more clear view of it. They are all really quite serious about religion and trying to get things in order, it's cool to see this at this age in somebody. They were all interested in learning more by the end of the lesson and get there questions more in line and even come to church! So we will see how things turn out! 

Tammy got baptized too!!! Ah!! I can't even explain how great this was. Sis. B and I drove down south to go to the baptism and it was so good to see her and Sis. Black and everything. She is going really strong with quitting smoking and I pray that she can continue to go strong. She was so so excited! It's just hit me about the power of missionary work, and reaching out to everyone so they can have to happiness of this message. She loves! the church! And if we didn't talk to her, well she wouldn't be blessed with it, with the friendship, with the gospel that is what this gospel is. It's the people. 
One thing that has stuck out to me with week is the power of love, Christ came to the earth to show us and give us an example of love. To 1) love God and 2) love your neighbor as you love yourself. THANK goodness he did. 
But the baptism was really good, the spirit was really strong. Seeing Tammy and her journey from where we started to meet with her and to her baptism was so cool. She has changed so much, and has been able to use the atonement to help with gaining control of her body and mind again, to gain confidence and a powerful testimony of the living Christ. This is what it is all about, the gospel is here in it's fullness to change us into something we are happy with, there are no upset, unhappiness or frustrations with ourselves when we learn to grasp the gospel. 

Something pretty cool this week we have been stopping by some people in our area so that we can give them an invitation to a fireside coming up here soon, and as we stopped by a family in the ward we were like we need to share something with them, so I hurried and just said the first scripture that came to my mind and it was Helaman 5:12. As we went to meet this family they just started to tell us everything that was going on and how hard things are and the darkness that they have been feeling as they are trying so hard to do right. This scripture was perfect! Sis.b and I wee both stunned as we walked out of their house. So cool how the spirit works. 

I love this gospel I love how it helps us become anything we want. It's here for our happiness and success as we turn to him for help, strength and guidance we will receive if we ask! 
I love you guys!!! 
I hope you have a good week, thank you for everything that you do. 
K.e.e.p on k.e.e.p.i.n.g on!!! 
Love your sister. 
Tincher!!
