Wow wow! That is so awesome you guys! Sounds kind of hard...but new
adventures are the best. You went from spring back to winter! Hopefully it
comes to be warm soon. Way to work those muscles Dad and Skyler, hope you
didn't have to pack too much!... sorry I couldn't help, I was a little
busy...hahaha Oh by the way.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKYLER! HOLY CATS! I think you
are like 22 now right? ha, man it’s like you’re getting older or something.
STOP IT! Aw you guys! I JUST love ya!
So this week for us, it has been QUITE a challenge. I can tell you
that we met a LOT of new people, and have just been working to share the gospel
with the world. Our baptism didn't happen, and he is going out of town for the
next 2-3 weeks... but I know that he is strong enough that he shouldn't have
any problems getting baptized when he gets back. We have met a young woman
named Mercyline. She had been visited by missionaries before, but she is really
awesome. We have met with her twice, but from both times, we were able to share
with her about the plan of salvation and how it plays a part in our lives...how
it is our lives? ya. SO the thing is, she just lost her brother about a month
ago, and we have been trying to meet with her for about a month...and the
spirit was like a punch in the face when we were sharing with her!!! It was SO
strong and tears came to her eyes when we shared about this plan. Powerful
moment in my life. We met with Benard (prophet guy) and that was again so SUPER
powerful. It was actually funny, because he made us watch some clips of this
guy, and it was kind of awkward, but after we had such a powerful lesson! I
really know that the spirit overcame me and let me know what to say and how to
say it. I testified so strongly of the priesthood, and how it has always been
in the Bible, and how God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and it all
came at once. He says he really likes us, because we don't just immediately
tell him that he is wrong, but that we chat about different points and agree on
things. SO exited for this guy!...this friend.
MAN! I had a dream last night that I was getting transferred from
this amazing place, and I was freaking out! haha! I love these people, and
don't want to leave them, so hopefully that doesn't happen too soon. Yesterday,
we were working with the branch, and we seriously talked about EVERY thing that
needed to be talked about. I definitely can tell that they are serious about it
this time, and I’m excited to see the progress that comes from all of this! We
have some great ways that we are going use to bring some less-actives back. But
it is just a sweet place, and well, I am loving it. That’s it for now this week
I think. Thanks my lucky family!
Love,
Elder Andreasen
