Dear family,
So little time to talk about so many miracles! Consider this
email a "teaser" for all of the other miracles that I'll have to tell
you about 6 months from now when I see you in person! I wish I could write
about all of the new people that we have been teaching but sometimes it seems
that words just don't quite do it justice. The people truly are the best part
of a mission! The best part of life, actually!
We had our last lesson with Robert this week, as we found
out that he lives in Marysville so we had to do a pass-off lesson with the
Armar YSA sisters. The good news about this is that the Armar sisters are none
other than Sister Anderson and Sister Glancy! So fun to see both of them again
and to teach a lesson with them! The Plan of Salvation lesson we taught was one
of the most memorable of my mission thus far. The spirit was so strong, and I
know that it's because Robert is so amazingly prepared! We invited him to begin
reading the Book of Mormon last week and he read all the way through Mosiah in
4 days. Every time we met he soaked it all up like a sponge, it's like he
hardly knows what to do with himself because it's all so real and so familiar
to him. In our lesson I invited him to be baptized and he got so excited, but
when we invited him to prepare for June 21 his face fell and he explained to us
that he's going back to Nevada after school gets out. It was such an incredible
moment to be able to explain to him how he can be baptized in Nevada because
this is THE Church of Jesus Christ, and not only is His gospel and His
priesthood the same wherever you go, but it will one day cover every corner of
the Earth.
We have been meeting with Osharrhea daily and we and she are
so excited for her baptism this coming weekend! She told us that one day last
week she stayed up until 3 in the morning talking to her mom about the gospel.
Everything about teaching Osh has gone so flawlessly because she has already
been so well-prepared by her family, and she has them as a strong support
system no matter what. Member missionary work truly is the way to go!
I'm out of time, but sending bucket loads of love your way!
Love ya!
