We were so, so happy for her. She is just so cute. Something amazing that happened at her baptism was after when she was coming out of the font. She looked at Sister Garner and I and said, " Sisters, my body feel different. It just feels... fresh!" The rest of the program she was just beaming. It was amazing to see how the result of a lot of hard work. We are so proud of her and the choices that she has made. It was also fun to see all the other missionaries that had worked with her.
Later after the baptism we went out door knocking. The Lord is blessing us so much. We found 4 Potential investigators in about a 2 hour span which is absolutely amazing. One of the guys we talked to, we chatted for a solid 45 minutes on his door step, everything we said to him just rang true and he told us all of his beliefs and we agreed with all of them as well. We are excited to meet with him this weekend.
Church was also so fantastic. We pulled up to church and our very Catholic friend Joe shows up! Say what! We were blown away. We couldn't believe he actually came, he also stayed for all 3 hours of church!! He was even making comments in the meetings. WE hope and pray that he had a good experience at church and comes again next week.
Then after church we picked up a new investigator named Kristen. She is 13 years old. She has been coming with a family in the ward and loves it. She goes to Young Women's each week. Her parents are completely supporting her in this too. We are going to be meeting with her on Thursday as well and have our first official meeting with her. Pray all goes well.
This week we also had interviews with President. The first thing he said to me was, " Wow, you've been in Midland a long time. About the longest I keep missionaries in an area." I laughed and said, "So President where are you going to send me." Throughout our conversation he told me he has no idea yet where I will be going but most likely I will be transferred out. Any guesses on where in Michigan I'm going!?
I am so grateful for all that goes on here and I love being a missionary. A quick quote I want to leave with you all.
"Things work out. It isn't as bad you sometimes think it is. It all works out... Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us... If we will put our trust in Him, if we will live worthy of his blessings, he will hear our prayers"
-President Hinkley
"So often we get caught up in the illusion that there is something just beyond our reach that would bring us happiness: a letter... situations or the end of a challenging trial. The older we get, the more we look back and realize that the eternal circumstances don't really matter or determine our happiness. We do matter we determine our happiness. You and I are ultimately in charge of our happiness. "
-President Uchtdorf
I love you all and pray everyone has a magnificent week!!
Love Always and Forever
