Morning y'all!
We had a good ol' southern week this time around. We had a
big ol crawfish boil with a family in the ward, probably the last one I'll get
for a while cause crawfish season is over...big sad. But shoot man I can eat
crawfish for days. Easily my favorite thing to have down here.
For 4th of July the Williams' had us over for some home
smoked brisket. Mmmmmmhm whatchu say? Have mercy it was good.
In the words of one of my favorite men on earth: "Good
food. Good company. Good time"
This weekend we also went to the mall and had our Jesus
Booth set up again. It went really well this time. We learned from our past
mistakes...We brought tablecloths and signs 2nd time round. We also tried a lot
harder to get people's numbers and set stuff up so between us and the sisters
we were able to find 13 people who would either like to study the Book of
Mormon of the Bible with us! Good times indeed.
Now for the best part: Miracle time. The part that almost
convinced me to title the email "Families ARE Forever: Part 2" but "Bible
Booths, Brisket, and One Last Boil" was too good to pass up. About 2
months ago we helped Josh and Samantha move in. A blessing, some more service,
and a dinner appointment later, we are sitting in their living room testifying
of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and eternal families. Two days
later we are watching the Rome Italy Temple tour with them and the Spirit is so
strong you could cut it with a knife.(Two more days later we're eating brisket
with them). We ask what is most important to them and they look at each other
and say their kids. We extend the invitation to baptized in preparation to the
temple and they accept for July 31st! You could see the amazement in Samantha's
eyes as her own husband said he'd be willing to give up smoking, dipping and
drinking for a temple marriage with his wife and a sealing with his kids. Only
God. Only God.
