What's up best family in the world!!!! Well this week has just
been FULL of all over the placeness! And what I mean by that is I really don't
know! So where do I even start....
So Richard has his baptismia interview this week and it went
SUPER well! He is so exctied for his baptism. When he came out of his interview
he was shaking everyone hands and saying " I am getting baptized! You
don't know how excited I am to be getting baptized! I feel like I am floating
away!" haha it was so cute. He was just smiling from ear to ear! We also
found a new investigator (crossing my fingers) hopefully, named Mike. He is
really nice, he is about 50 or so and he is such a good guy. His mother and
handicap son live with him and his wife and oh his wife is semi-handicap from
some accident and he just takes care of them all and loves them all so much,
not to mention that he watches his grand kids all the time while his daughter
works. I mean he just has endless energy. But anyways we had a really good
lesson on the Restoration with him this last week and everything that we taught
him he said really made sense. We also gave him a Book of Mormon and he
said that he would read it! We were supposed to meet with him again on Sunday
but he had to cancel because he had to work, so we are going to try and see him
again this week. So I hope that it goes well because he is legit! We also had a
crazy beyond all belief of miracles happen this week with our Facebook/Online
Proselyting... So ok I will start with Brandon. Brandon is a guy that lives in
our area and he is a truck driver so he is hardly ever home. But I guess
that he was online one day and he was looking at mormon.org and he wanted a copy of the Book of
Mormon to read so he called the phone number and got a hold of a missionary in
the MTC, and she said that she would call the local bishop (Bishop Hoki) and
have the missionaries come and give him one. (so this was like over a month
ago) So then she made him a referral online and it got sent to the elders
iPads, and so they added him on facebook and was like " Hey when can we
come and give you a Book of Mormon, what’s your address." type of thing,
and Brandon said that his plans got a little rearranged and that he had to
leave town again real soon to drive a load somewhere, but that he was praying
that Heavenly Father would help him to get a Book of Mormon. Well ok so the
elders were able to find out that he lived in our area so they transferred the
referral to us and so we went searching for him online and found him and
messaged him and told him that we were the missionaries in his area and that we
would be happy to bring him a Book of Mormon when he gets home, and he said
that would be great but in the mean time he had downloaded it and was listening
to it as he drives (well that’s cool) Ok
so then the week goes by and we messaged him and asked him when he was going to
be back and he said, Sisters you will never believe this. and he went on to
tell us how he was at a truck stop somewhere in the grand old USA and he met a
person who randomly started talking to him and gave him a Book of Mormon
(awesome member missionary) and that they felt like he should have it. Well so
now Brandon has the Book of Mormon and when he messaged us he said that he was
almost done reading it. Ok so that’s way to cool, but his schedule has been way
crazy and he is out of town right now, but we told him that we can teach him
over Skype and Facebook and that we would love to do that and he agreed, and
gave us his info so that we could begin teaching him online. So cool, so we
will meet with him this week on Skype and our ward mission leader is going to
come to the lesson with us at the church. I am way excited to see what happens!
Ok and number 2 coolest thing that happened, we were on facebook one day and
Sister Petersen gets a message from a guy in India and he say "Sister
please keep me in your prayers, thank you and God Bless." Well we messaged
him back and told him that we were missionaries and that we shared messages
about Jesus Christ and that whatever he was going through at this moment would
get better as he comes closer to the Savior. He replied that he was Catholic
and that it was ok, that he just wanted prayers and so we said no problem we
will definitely pray for you, and then we gave him the link to the Mormon.org
website and told him that he should check it out and that he could find
messages on there that would really bless his life. Well about a week later we
get a message from him that says "Sister I want to learn this gospel you
share with me, I hope its good." And we assured him that of course it was
and we told him that we could chat on Facebook and teach him and that we could
work it out with the time difference and everything and he said that would be
good. (We aren't going to open it to Skype chat yet until we know its ok, in
case something weird happens) But that is really cool! We looked up the churches
nearest him and did you know that there is a Salt Lake City India? hahahaha of
course that is where the Mormon church is! Anways we will see how that goes!
But in other news I have been having way to many people trying to set me up
this week hahah so weird a member in the ward Sister Gibson was telling me
about her 36 year old nephew who lives in STG and how he struggles to find any
girls, but how she knows he would like me, but that I would have to do all the
work in our dating relationship because he is shy hahahahah I was like
Are you joking? ummmmm NO haha of course I didn't say that to her but I
was sure thinkin' it.. hahahaha oh my and on Sunday after church Richard was
like I need to tell you something, oh wait never mind you wont come over
anymore if I do. And I was like what is it Richard? And he was like don't take
this the wrong way, but you very pretty Sister Jamison, I really like your eyes
and you have nice eyelashes. There's just something about you that I like and
you are still pretty even with all your pimples (pointing at my
legs.......HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) And by pimples he meant all my bug bite scars on my
legs and ankles. Oh my gosh I tried not to laugh but it was so funny and also
because he has such a thick accent. But anyways dramaaaaaa......hahahahaha we
also had a pioneer party this week and that was fun, Richard came and he liked
it. And there was a funeral that we were at.
I was trying to avoid the viewing
but you couldn’t miss seeing as she was hangin out right by the front door
casket open and all. Needless to say I wanted to throw up.... and then another
member died yesterday morning. So many old people, death is not a rare thing in
this ward unfortunately...... Well I have no more time gotta go! Love ya!
