Hey!
So this week was really good we saw so many miracles! So first
off Fabio is doing so so well, we were able to teach him this last week with
Brother Tomlinson at a park by where we live. We usually teach him there
because we can't go in the house unless there is a female there and there is
usually not, so the park does just fine! It started to pour on us of course but
good thing there was a pavilion over us! It was kinda funny though the storm
was so bad we were all practically yelling at each other haha, it was ok the
spirit was still strong and Fabio always enjoys our lessons so much. We also
were blessed to be able to have members present at all of our lessons this week
which is usually a bit of a struggle for us, but we worked so hard and called
everyone we could to come with us and we were able to have a lot of solid
lessons it was so great!!! We also have picked up a former investigator named
Norris, he was dropped about 2 years ago and we have just started teaching him
again, he is off to a good start and has been reading the Book of Mormon which
is so good, and so we will see where that goes! Unfortunately we weren't
able to get ahold of Rachel again this week, which super bums me out but we are
going to keep trying with her. She recently had a death in the family so
we think she might be out of town, I hope that everything is ok with her.
Loretta has also been doing ok, we were going to go and see her
this last week but she didn't want us to come by, she has been having a very
hard time and we were afraid that we lost her, but on Sunday she texted us and
said that she is doing much better and that her son is too. We were happy to
hear that because he is always struggling.
Sunday was definitely our day of miracles though, Fabio was able
to come to church even though he worked literally all night at his new job, and
he was so cool when he got there he was telling me how his sister and
brother-in-law were over at Daytona Beach that day and that he really wanted to
go with them but knew he should come to church!! It was so awesome, his family
always goes to the beach on Sunday and Fabio usually goes with them, but he is
finally coming to realize that he needs to be in church and not at the beach on
Sunday! And sacrament meeting that day was so perfect for him. There were
two families blessing their babies, and after the first family blessed there
new boy, Fabio was just crying. I looked at him and he leaned to me and
said, I am going to bless my children someday like that in this church, it is
so beautiful. He really felt the spirit so strong, and the thing he loves
is how much we as a church are involved with the Family and building our
families. He always tells us how he wants a family and how he wants to
raise them with good values like the families he sees at church, So cool!
So also so cool so ever since I got here we have been visit
a family who is less active, the Casquete family, and we would go over all the
time and teach them and invite them to church and they wouldn't ever
come. But for the past 4 weeks Sister Casquete has been coming and really
trying to get active again which is so great. She has a son that lives with her
though and his name is Christian and he has 3 kids. He is super nice and always
likes it when we come over to visit, and we have been working on getting him to
church for a while but haven't had much luck. Well!!!! This last Sunday Sister
Thomas and I had a thought that we should go an invite Christian to the evening
sacrament service at church, so we stopped by and he said that he would come if
his sister came home in time with the car. Then Sister Thomas and I headed
to the church and as the sacrament was being passed no Christian, then once it
was done he hurried and snuck in the back and came and sat by us! I was so
surprised to see him, its been years since he's been in church! At first
at we were sitting there he looked a little bored, but then as more and more
people were baring their testimonies you could tell he was starting to feel the
spirit so strong. Then as his eyes started to tear up Christian got up and went
and bore his testimony, he said that it had been a while for him but that he
was grateful that he was there, and that the Sisters had been coming by to
teach him and help him come back to church. He testified that he knew without a
doubt that the church was true and that this spirit he was feeling was
something he has been missing for a long time, and that he knew that this is
where Heavenly Father wanted him to be. It was such a strong testimony and I
was so happy for him!
I really wish I had more time to write but I don't! I love you
all and have a great week!
