Hey everyone!
Sorry i didn't email you all last week..I didn't have any time...l I have no time now, but really quick, this week was great! We are teaching a mother named Denisse, and her son named Brendan, he is 15. We first taught them last week, it went really well! We taught them a few days ago the plan of salvation and that went well! We gave them a baptismal date for the 29 of Dec, and they said yes! It was fantastic! They are great people!! We saw them on Saturday for the 3rd time, they ordered pizza for us and we watched the restoration DVD with them. It was fun! After the movie, Denisse had some concerns... some weird ones. We tried our best to answer her questions and I was just praying so hard in my mind that she will just stop and listen for the still small voice and that she will just be humble...and of course my prayer was answered! After listening and answering her questions I just tried to calm everything down and I said "hey, we made you a reading calendar, will you read the book of Mormon every day? It's only a few verses a day with a question. I gave the calendar to Brendan and he looked at it for a little bit and he said "Mom, we start reading on the 18th!" And they both were just silent..,and they explained to us that the number 18 is their special number. They are both born on the 18th, their house number is the 18th, and sadly their dad died on the 18th. So they both were kinda shocked and humbled.. Denisse took it as an answer to her prayer, so she stopped asking a bunch of questions and she just said, "okay, we will read and pray every day, we will pray really hard and we will find out if this is the church for us" it was really cool! I believe that was an answer to our prayers! So that was one of the cool experiences I had this week.
Anyways I love and miss all of you so much! I hope you all will have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'll be eating weird things.. speaking of weird things...I tried black pudding!! It was so disgusting!! It's just blood and other crap...you don't wanna know..it was terrible. I also held a huge eagle owl that a member had, it was cool. I'll send pics later. I love you all! The work is going well!
Cheers!
The owl, some member has a zoo of owls in his back yard...It's crazy! He also randomly had a huge Tortus which weighed like 65 pounds!!
