Well this was yet another week of fun in the sun. :) Hot, dusty, blessed, and I just love it! This last week the family of 6 showed up again to church and it went really well. The last two weeks we have had to go and wake them up and it has been a little bit of a struggle to get them all up on time and ready to be to the church on time but it has been a great blessing to have them there and they really like the church they say. Also they have given us dinner 3 times this last week and well any good missionary knows that if a family gives you food then they are bound to be baptised. :) Also we found another family that have been inactive for about 15 years due to them living in other parts of the country where the church has not made it to yet, but the wonderful part is that they are now here in my area and they live less than 500 yards down the road from the chapel! So last night as we were talking to the the father we found out that the 2 daughters are not members and that they want their daughters to be baptised and they want to go to the temple to be sealed! 15 years without being able to go to church and 2 children later they have made it back to the same place where they were baptised. The lord works in mysterious ways but he will always bless those that love his gospel and keep his commandments.
This family has been reading the Book of Mormon and doing family home evening for 15 yrs off and on without the blessing of a chapel close to their house. I know that they will be so blessed as the begin this process to return to church once again. As we do our part the lord will ALWAYS do his.
I love you all! have a great week and I will talk to you all soon!
