So this week has been Amazing! Monday we got a call from a member who's sons friend Brett, and his mom Lori have decided they are looking for something more in their life and have decided to investigate the church! Members are awesome! On Wednesday we went over to the Webbs, I think I mentioned them a while back, about a month ago we were able to contact them- its a part member family and the wife is from Thailand and isn't a member. We have her a Thai Book of Mormon, but hadn't really heard from her. We stopped by and we set up a church tour for that night. They came to that and we were able to explain the sacrament to her and why we go to church. The spirit was amazing as we talked. Teaching her may be difficult at first, but I know it will help me be able to teach simply. We invited them to come to church on Sunday, she said yes, he was a little hesitant because of the time. He works nights and so he was wondering if they could go to a later time. After we talked for a little Ann asked if she could come without him, we said yes. He then decided that he would try to come and make it to our ward at 9. I think seeing how important it is to her to be at church helped him make that a priority to come even though it may be hard.
So Tuesday we met with Jenny, we invited her to be baptized (this was our first invitation to her, but not the first for her) She said when she is ready, yes, but not yet. We asked her what would be holding her back. It seems like there may be a few things but we will keep working with her. She knows its true logically, but I think the big thing is that she doesn't feel like she's had that spiritual witness.
On Sunday both the Webbs and Brett and Lori came to church! It was awesome. It was a good testimony meeting. You always worry about bringing an investigator to those :D. There was one that got a little sketchy and the spirit was basically gone. Afterwards though, Crystal Miskin ( shes not in the ward but was watching the Bishops kids and her dad is in our mission presidency) got up and bore her testimony. She just got back from her mission in Chile. She stated everything so simply and you just knew that she knew it! it was amazing and it really brought the spirit back. She sat right behind us and I thanked her, but I don't know if she realized how much that really meant to me.
Anyways, I love you all! Thank you so much for your support. I am so blessed to have amazing friends and family!
Love,
Sister Kellee Gardner
