Answers to Prayers

We had a pretty good week. I don't know if you remember me talking about our investigator, but Sister Wilson and I worked with him for a while before she left, and he went on vacation. Well, he is back and doing great! I finally found a video I wanted to show him about Wilford Woodruf being baptized and then re-baptized when he found the church with prophets, apostles, correct doctrines, ordinances, and authority. He had concerns about being baptized over again having already being baptized and feeling good about his first baptism. He really related to the video and also loved the account in the Bible of Paul re-baptizing those who didn't receive the Holy Ghost. He decided he is finally ready to set a date to work toward to show the lord his faith. He was going to put it off until after exams in October, but when he went to say that to us, instead of "November" coming out of his mouth, he said "September." We all agreed that it was inspired, because Sister Taufu'i and I had been praying about it and felt he would be ready in September. Now he just needs to decide on a day! Oh, and he also told us about a dream he had....about Sister Wilson! haha, She was following him around EVERYWHERE with a book telling him to read it and stop putting it off. It is so funny how the Lord works, because she was always so persistent with him, and he came to expect it of her, so the Lord knew he would understand the message if she was the one "nagging him".

Something else that happened this week was that we got back in touch with a recent convert of Sister Wilson's and his older brother who almost got baptized a couple of months ago. We went to visit them for less active visits, but they weren't home. I called their mom though, and she surprisingly answered (she hasn't in a long time). I talked to her once more on the phone, but she couldn't give me a time to come by, so we just dropped in on them. The older brother was outside, so we got to talk to him for a few minutes and he got the younger brother outside for us too. He turns 12 on Tuesday and hopefully we can see them, I'm making him brownies! Haha, Sister Wilson's signature dessert. Nothing much has come of the contact yet, but we still hope that it will. 

We had Stake Conference this weekend and all the missionaries were invited to Saturday session which normally doesn't happen, but the theme was hastening the work, so they gave us a special invite. It was nice to see all the missionaries as well as some members from San Fernando and to hear from President and Sister Mehr and the Stake Presidency. Some of the members from Sando also bore their testimonies on the temple trip they had last month. It was really special to hear about their experiences.

Sister Duff is leaving this Friday to go spend a few days with Sister Wilson before going to the MTC on September 2nd. The work will be different here without her, but she has her own mission to perform; she will do great things in the Ogden mission! 

Thanks for all your love and support!

Love you!
