Hey family :) well this week has been interesting. We've had some good
success finding new people and having lessons with our investigators.
And wow that's amazing that Zach is already home I can't believe it. I hope
he had such a wonderful mission. You'll have to give him a hello for me.
And wow give Jake a giant thumbs up for prom, you'll have to send a bunch of
pictures!
Anyways this week we had some interesting stuff happen. So first off we had
a super cool family home evening in the house of a less active. We brought one
of our investigators who really wants to find out that this is the true church and she hasn't felt like she's received her answer yet. So anyways we all got
there and we sang a hymn and opened with a prayer and in my mind I had no idea
what message I could share... everything was just blank, but oddly enough that's
what needed to happen, because not having an idea of what theme I could share, I
just told everyone to start presenting themselves to get to know each other. Then
from one second to the next all the members were presenting themselves and began to
share their testimonies to our investigator and the whole room was filled to the
brim with the Spirit. It was so amazing, we actually ended up not sharing any
message and the whole meeting just turned into a spiritly guided conversation with
our investigator and it was amzing to see how it all folded out and started with
me having no idea what to share!
Now about another investigator, his name is A.and his wife is a member
and all their kids are members. He has accepted to be baptized this Saturday
that's coming up and I am so excited for him. He loves the gospel now, and he wants
to get sealed in the temple (he has been attending marrige management classes
at the church). And truly it is just a blessing for me to be able to know him and
to of helped him take the step to be baptized :) It was sort of amzing how
everything has just worked out with him. He never got the chance to be baptized
before because he always had commitments on Sundays but we helped him to get to
church and showed him what a blessing it would be for him to take the step of a
baptism and woooohhhoooo he's gonna do it Saturday!!! haha I'm pretty excited,
I'll send you guys lots of photos :)
And lastly today was interesting because we just barlely escaped from our
house! In the morning the door broke when another renter was trying to get in
(we share the same door for about 4 families.) So anyways the door was locked
but there was no way to open it.... right up until like an hour ago we escaped
using the key and holdiong the lock thinggy magiger by hand an miraculously
opended the door. It felt so nice to get outside hahaha
Well anyways I'm doing well. We have 10 baptisms as a zone this week so we
have to work like crazy to make sure that every single one gets baptized :) so
wish me luck and pray lots for me.
Love you all,
Elder Lignell
