Just a side note, mom take some sweet pictures of the farm and send them
to me if you could? LIke of the horses and the sheep and when the lambs
start to come and also the cows. For sure. Everyone here is wanting to
see pictures of our farm. They like the idea that we are farmers. I am
not sure why? haha. Just kidding. Farming is the way to go. It really
is. That would be great if you coudl do that. Thank you mother.
So this week was great. We were able to get a good amount of people to church this sunday. It felt good to have people walking with us to church. It always does but this sunday
it felt really good. Maybe because it was raining and it was a little
bit cooler. That may have something do to with it. Church went great.
Until the very end.....Our investigator Anna....55. We found her last
wednesday and she LOVED church. There are some steps that are really
steep and pretty high right in front of our beautiful chapel. And she
fell from the stop step and touched nothing until her face smaced on the
ground at the very bottom of the steps. I thought for sure she got
knocked out. Me and my comp ran over and picked her up both of us
expecting to see a destroyed cheek bone and teeth that had falling out.
BUt she jumped right up totally fine and yelled JESUS IS MY SAVIOR!!!!
haha. It was super sweet!! She had a little blood in her mouth and a
scraped up arm and leg and for sure she will be sore the next few days.
But she is okay. I seriously thought that she might have been knocked
out or dead. She fell face first and I mean fell hard. I dont know how
she was okay like she was. We went inside cleaned her up and gave her
some water. Then we walked her home. But she was fine the whole time.
After lunch we passed by and she wasnt home. That left us a little
nervous but we will go by there tonight to talk to her. She is alright.
She said she has strong african ancestors. haha. And she has more muscle
than I did when I was in great shape. haha. Well....good shape...haha. I
have always been kind of fat and soft.
But the week was really good. We are working in a different area.
We first tried close to the church with all of the really big rich
person houses. And we left and went back to the more humble area. This
ward is a great one. I love the people here. We taught this Anna lady
how to pray. She said all 55 years of her life nobody cared to teach her
and she said she hasnt said a real prayer. Not even one time in her
life. So I told her she was going to pray. It was on Thrusday. She was
super embarrassed and said that she wouldnt. So we taught her how to do
it. Then I said she needed to pray or nobody will talk to God after our
lesson. hahaha. Just a little loving pressure.... Anyway then I folded
my arms and bowed my head. Then my comp did. And she sat there for a
while laughing saying that she wouldnt. But we didnt move a muscle. We
just sat there. haha. Finally after 5 minutes she started to pray. Then
she got quite and was crying and crying. Then finished. Then told us how
amazing she felt and how she will start to pray every day. It was a
blessing to see and The Spirit was very strong.
The power of prayer is very real and very important. That is
exactly why Cali and Utah are haveing the fasts and PRAYERS. It is very
powerful and Our Heavenly Father WANTS to hear from us whenever He can.
Dont forget to pray, family! The Savior Himslef prayed, If He needed it
you better believe that we need it.
Love you all and have a great week!!
