MOM! I really love you guys a lot. I have no time to write, but I'm doing great! Love you all! The church is true and the book is blue. Love, Jordan.
Seriously...not even kidding.
hmmph
But today we got a semi-normal email! Yay!
Stake
conference sounds amazing!! I'm sorry you had to sit by yourself, but at least
it was inspiring! thank so much for sharing what Pres. Jensen shared. That
really helped me today. So much. It was exactly what I was needing. I'm so
grateful that Heavenly Father answers my prayers. It's been amazing to see how
the Lord honestly answers our prayers. Every single one. For example, today. We
always say a prayer before we start working right? We usually say it in the car
before we leave to a lesson, or to do contacts, or whatever. But today, because
of the fact that we were a little late leaving the office, we were a little
rushed and ruffled, and we basically forgot. So we went to a lesson, and the
family wasn't there. Super sad. So then we passed by someone else, who also
wasn' there, and then we passed by 1 more time that same family, and still not
there. (all of this done in the rain.) So after we got done sitting there in
the rain, waiting by the door, we realzied that we hadnt prayed, and so we went
to the car and said a prayer. _We asked that Heavenly Father help us know where
to go, and also that we could meet with this family. As we prayed, we felt like
we should pass by a couple of young guys that we met yesterday. So we went
there, and they were SO cool! We were able to give them each a Book of
Mormon, and they had some really good questions! We have a meeting with them on
Wednesday to go over the BoM with them. We're SO excited! then afterwards, we
decided to go back 1 more time to that same family from the beginning and THEY
WERE HOME!!!! we had been just a little bit late getting there the first time,
and they had left, but then all of them had come back later. It was such a
miracle! Especially because this family is going to be baptized on sunday!!!!
they are SO amazing! Filomena is the grandma, she's like 65 years old, and just
SO sweet. and SO hilarious! and then Biatriz is her 16 year old granddaughter
and also Lara who is 8. those are the 3 that will be baptized on Sunday, and
then there is Manuela who is Biatriz's mom, and also Antonio, who is her
brother! They are just absolutely amazing mom! You would love them SO much.
They kinda remind me of Barbi and you, just super fun and out going and they
are just progressing so well! Biatriz, Lara and Filomena came to church
yesterday and loved it! Bia already made friends with all of the youth and is
going to a YWs activity tomorow, and they are all coming to a ward activity on
Friday. The ward was so awesome with them. So welcoming and helpful, and jsut
really Christ-like. They were a huge help. And because of the experience they
had, Antonio and Manuela want to come to church and the baptism on Sunday.
Manuela is amazing. She has such a sweet heart an is very sensative to the
spirit, she just was forced to go to church when she was little, and didn't
like it at all, and so now she doesn't want to go to any church at all. She
loves the lessons, and reading the book of mormon, but coming the church she
doesn't want to do. But lately she's been opening up so much! She's said that
she'll come to church this next week for the baptism, and she wants to see how
it is. We're SO excited and SUPER happy! Please pray for her. Her and
antonio too :) The Lord has blessed us so much lately. last week was the best
week we've had in this whole transfer and it was just 100% blessings. I just
love being a missionary. So much.
