Hooooooolllllaaaaaaa!
So
this week was pretty weird and I don't really know where to start!
First of all, Marilyn is doing great and is just a spiritual giant!
Satan is just working really hard on her right now and the baby daddy
just randomly decided to come back into her life so just keep praying
for her!
We were able to meet with Pimpi (yummy bread
lady) this past week and it was great! We haven't been able to see her
for a while cause all she does is WORK WORK WORK. But we finally got in
and we showed her an amazing video and the spirit was just so strong and
she just kept talking about how she wish she had more time to focus on
reading her scriptures and just as we were about to talk to her about
keeping the sabbath day holy, she opens her mouth and says. "I've made a
goal that next year I'm not going to work on Sundays so I can have time
to go to church and spend time with my family" and we were like AHHHH
and it was amazing. She is so great and one of the strongest people I know! She has been through A LOT in her life and has really come to know
her savior!
So I don't know if I've told you about our
investigator Paola, but here I go! She's 18 and she's amazing!!! Anyways,
so yesterday she sent us a text saying that she wouldn't be able to
come to church so we were a little bummed, but then during sacrament
meeting she walked in!!! It was a miracle! She's amazing! We've only
been able to meet with her twice because of her busy schedule, but she's
already come to church 3 times and she came to Marilyns baptism last
week! She's golden and is just the sweetest most innocent thing I have
ever seen! She's totes getting baptized, we have a date for her on Jan 23, but we're gonna work to push it up!
So, Janet Russell, our less active. We still have doubts that she's a
member and they can't find her records because she doesn't remember her
exact date of her baptism, but she insists that she was baptized so we're
still working on figuring that out. hahaha. Anyways, so we had this
super weird lesson with her this past week. First she lets us in and
then says "hold on just a second" and walks into the other room so we
were just making small talk with her 80 year old crazy aunt for 5 min...
10 min... 20 min... 25 min... and we kept calling for her, but she
wouldn't come so we were like uhhhhhh lets just come back later so just
as we were about to leave she comes out and so we were able to teach her
and she hadn't read so we read with her in the BOM and it was 1Nephi 6
where it's only like 6 verses long and we asked what she liked about it
and she goes off for about a 25 minute rant about the most random
things. She started by talking about what she thinks things of the world
are then she talked about parties and from parties to drinking to
modesty to the death of some leader of some church to how if the prophet
died she wouldn't want to watch his funeral, back to parties and how she
likes to be classy at parties back to her sick aunt.... and then she
ended this rant with "yes or no?" we were just like uhhhhh... what just
happened. Hahahahahahahaha WHERE ARE EPISODES LIKE THIS ON THE
DISTRICT. This happens way often with her too hahahaha oh Janet what
even are you.
That's pretty much it for the week! I was a
little ill this week so we weren't able to work as much as we would have
liked, but it was still a great week! I want to share some quotes that
reeeaaaallly helped me this week! It's from the general conference talk
from this past conference by Oaks called "strengthened by the atonement
of Jesus Christ".
"He had no debt to pay. He had committed
no wrong. Nevertheless, an accumulation of all of the guilt, the grief
and sorrow, the pain and humiliation, all of the mental, emotional, and
physical torments known to man - he experienced them all" - Boyd K Packer
