Hello Everyone!
How are all of you this week? I hope really good!
Well I am sure that you are all wondering about Nathan's baptism
and all I can say is that it went so great! So funny thing, Sister Kreiberg and
I made a facebook event for his baptism like 5 days before and then we got a
call two days before his baptism from the ZL's saying that we aren't supposed
to make facebook events I guess. So we got on to delete it and not thinking
that it would then tell everyone that the event was canceled. So then after
that Brother Snavely in our ward called us all frantic because he had seen
Nathan that morning and things seemed to be going good and now he didn't know
what was wrong and so we rushed back to the library to email everyone and tell
them that it was still on. Haha and poor Nathan facebooked us and was
like what did I do wrong! Why is the baptism off, haha and then we told him of
our mistake and he said he about had a heart attack....oops... But we got it
all taken care of! The baptism on the other hand went so well. There was a good
group of people there and a former mission president that is in our ward
President Estes preformed the baptism. The whole thing really came
together nicely and you could tell that Nathan was very happy! When Nathan
bore his testimony it was so amazing! He truly has been converted. He got
up and talked about how we found him and what his life was like at that point
in time and how his life is different now and how he is so much happier now,
and then he went on to talk about how blessed he feels and how all he wants to
do now is serve in the church and help others feel the way that he does.
His testimony was so strong and you could tell that his life really has
changed. Then after the baptism Nathan, the Snavelys and us two went and
got Chick-Fil-A and ate at the Snavelys. That was pretty fun. When we were
there Sister Snavely said that she was going to try and get my watch fixed this
week and so she gave me one of hers to borrow until then and we were talking
about how OCD I am without a watch and how whenever I am at home I carry my big
clock around with me when I study or get ready, etc. and so now Nathan calls me
Flavor Flav... Like that black guy that wears the clocks around his neck... I
have more nicknames from him than I think from anyone else! Then it was
so cute on Sunday when Nathan got to church he came up to us and said
"Sister last night when I was laying in bed watching T.V. I felt so good
and happy. I turned off my T.V. just to sit there and enjoy what I was feeling
inside. You know how I always used to say Nathans happy, well last night Nathan
was truly Joyous, I felt so light and clean, and just pure joyous."
It was so great to hear him say that and that he was so excited about it!
You can see a total change in his countenance!
But now that Nathan is a member Sister Kreiberg and I will have
a lot of finding time this week coming up. It's going to be a bit of a
drag but that's ok! This last week we have had miracles finding solid potential
investigators and so we are going to try and see all of them this week. One that
we are really excited about is a man named Tommy. Last week we were at
the park teaching a less active in the park and it was very windy and not a
really good time for a lesson, but we had a hard time meeting with him so it
was better than nothing. And we showed him a Mormon Message on our iPads,
and Tommy was sitting 3 tables away from us and once the message was over Tommy
comes over and says, hey can you email me that video? I really liked it, here I
will give you my email.... Pause.... WHATT!!!!?????... Crazy right? We don't
even know how he heard the video over the wind and the fact that he was about
30 feet from us but he did. We were able to talk to him a little bit
about the church and we asked if we could come and share a message with him and
he said yes that'd be great! So he gave us his address and telephone number and
we are going to stop by this week! Cool right! As we were leaving too his
daughter came over to sit on his lap and he pointed at us and said, see those
girls, they are going to come over this week and teach us about Jesus. So cool!
We are way excited! Sister Kreiberg and I are also teaching Chole
Ragozzine the lessons because she is going to be baptized soon. This is
the same little girl that told her little sister that we could fly haha It was
fun to teach her the restoration this week, we used cups to teach about the
priesthood and other blessings in the church that were lost and then restored
and she thought it was way cool! K one last miracle then I gotta go haha
So last night we got home and it was about 9 and I looked for the keys to
open the door and the keys were not in my backpack.... ugh so we went
back out to see if we could find them, and about 2 hours
earlier I have fallen off my bike (AGAIN...) But I am totally fine, at
a golf course and we thought to go check over there. And so we went
searching for them and could not find them anywhere and it was 9:30 by that
time and we had to go home. So we said a prayer together and we off again
along this golf course path and the thought came to my mind to look at my
camera pictures, (we took pics of me on the ground after I fell) so I stopped
and looked at them and sure enough in the pick you could see the keys in the
grass, but you could also see that by my feet there was a patch of brown grass,
and so I thought K I just need to look for a patch of brown grass, and as I
looked sure enough about 3 minutes later I found a brown patch of grass and
about 10 feet away were the keys... Such a miracle, Sister K and I were
freaking out, but the Lord blessed us! Well that is all for this week! I love
you all so much!
