January 30, 2012
hey family!,
ok so you know when you like dont eat for a long like and to get sooooo hungry anything will be so awesome!.. well thats what this week was. it was another hard week to start off with but by the end wow we have a "meal" and it was sooooo tasty!!!. so we only had three lessons this week. EVERYONE was canceling, like even our rides and dinners, as well as our appointments with our investigators! we basically just rode bikes around all day. we went on exchanges with the zone leaders on friday too and i felt soooo bad we rode around all day and had one lesson finally. then we got home that night after riding in the rain and the zone leader, elder Erickson. got way sick he was puking all night!! ha it was pretty bad. i think he got food poison though. but ya pretty rough week. then on saturday we get the blessing of a wonderful treat :). so the day started off pretty normal. we got a ride out to branson to switch back elders and then drove back. when we got back, we got a call from Courtnie!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha she had disappeared again. but she called and wanted to see if she could still go to the baptism at 3!!! we totally forgot about it and that we told her about it, because we had not heard from her. but she wanted to go. so we went and she got there just as it was starting and she told us she almost didnt come, but she prayed and felt that she needed to come. the guy that was getting baptized was this black gentleman from africa , gana or some thing like that. he spoke french it was so cool. the service was so great the spirit was soo strong there and courtnie felt it so strong and was able to recognize it. after we congratulated the brother his name is like sayo. i probably just butchered it but it works. so we went over and talked to him and he talked to courtnie and bore testimony that this is the truth and that she is making the right choice. it was so perfect. so long story short, sorry... im out of time but she is BACK!! she is talking to us again. she came to church on sunday and even brought her 18 yr old son and his girlfriend and they all came too our gospel principles class !!! oh how great is my joy, what marvelous light did i behold; yea my soul was filled with joy exceeding as was my pain!! my God hath been my support ; he hath led me through mine afflictions.. He hath filled me with his love , even unto the consuming of my flesh.. i love this work the scriptures are true they will relate to our every need. they tell us what we need to do to have happiness in this life and the life to come. This is the Lords kingdom restored to the earth again preparatory for the second coming of the Holy Messiah. I love you all so much and am deep deep gratitude to my Father in Heaven who have made it possible through a prophet to be able to be sealed together with you all for time and all eternity!:) how great is my joy ha i love family!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much and hope and pray for ya dayly and you too anthony!! haha you are family too ! but i have to go and i will talk to you next week. oh and i sent the pictures this week like friday, i think. i gave them to an elder to put in his mail box cuz it wouldnt fit in ours haha. but just keep an eye out for it. sorry took so long. love ya talk to ya later !!!
