July 1, 2013 - Lake Reams




Hey Family,
So this week was good, we had a lot of our appointments fall through but we still saw miracles. So Ashley fell through on us again and that was way disappointing because we taught her an awesome first lesson and she has a Book of Mormon and now she just can't seem to meet with us. We are going to try and contact her again this week but if nothing happens we might end up dropping her. We also had an awesome turn out at our "investigator BBQ" we have every other Monday night, a lot of the members that were there invited non-member neighbors and friends and it was so good.  We watched a Mormon Message and Sister Low and I gave the thought, and it was about the Book of Mormon and it was really good.  One of the guys that came to the BBQ is a man named Bobby and he is the Elders investigator, he said he really enjoyed himself and he ended up coming to church on Sunday which was so awesome. We also have found some new investigators ourselves - this week we found the Louis family through tracting.  They are way nice and the dad is so cool, he is the one that answered the door and he said that we were welcome to come back and teach the family which will be so good because the wife is into this too and they have a lot of young kids. We are going to go and see them tonight and I am way excited.  I think that they will really like what we have to say.  We also came across a woman named Nancy.  She is one we found about 4 weeks ago, but every time we would go to her house, she was never home.  But finally this last week we went by and she was home and was so friendly and let us in and we were able to teach her the first lesson, so that was sweet. She liked our lesson and she told us she wants to come closer to Jesus Christ and we told her we would be just the ones to help her do that,  We were able to give her a Book of Mormon and we committed her to reading and she said that she would and so we are way excited. We are going to go and see her on Friday.  Then on Wednesday we were tracting and we happened to come across this house and a man answered and his name was Jacobus (Jah-Kobe-us) he was way cool too. His wife wasn't home so of course we didn't go inside, but we told him about what we did and who we were and he said that his wife would like to listen to us because she has been trying to find a church, so we set an appointment and ended up going back on Friday. Well so cool, so we went back on Friday and his wife Jessica was way cool too, she told us about her religious history and her thoughts and how she hasn't ever been baptized but would like to be and we told her basically what we told Jacobus and she and he both sounded like they were interested in meeting with us more. So just before we left we invited them to church and they said they would think about it and we were just praying that they would come. Well MIRACLE!!! We were at church on Sunday and about 5 minutes after sacrament started guess who we see, JACOBUS AND JESSICA!!! WHOOO!!! And an even bigger miracle is that sacrament meeting was all about the Restoration and the speakers gave such good talks, Sister Low and I were so so happy! Well this week was awesome! Ms. Shirley is way excited about her baptism and Gene is receiving the priesthood this Sunday at church. Things are going way good here, I hope that we will be able to get Jacob and Jessica and Nancy to be baptized on July 20th but we will see how that goes. Well I Love you all, Claire's pictures are so cute.  Talk to you soon!
