Well I am going to be staying in Marble Falls another transfer!
Woohoo! Tomorrow I will be dropping off Elder Greene and picking up
Elder Trent. I'm excited. I've heard a lot of good things about Elder
Trent.
This week was pretty great. There was a lot of rain which was pretty
crazy. We got soaked a few times. There was some pretty big hail too.
It was a crazy storm.
Patti is still doing really good. It is hard for her to come to church
because her son, Angel, is always sick. He is going through
chemotherapy right now so doesn't feel too good. But at this point she
said they are going to wait till his next treatment and then see how
he feels afterwards and pick a day for their baptism. So we just need
to keep helping them out until then!
We had a lesson yesterday with this lady named Yolanda. We had taught
her like 2 months ago but then she disappeared. But we finally found
her again! But she was saying how she doesn't feel right with God
because she never goes to church even though she knows she needs to.
We asked her if she had the desire to start following God and she said
she does but she doesn't want to do it alone. She said how she feels
deep down inside that what we were telling her was right and it's what
she should do. But she wants her family to go with her. She didn't
feel ready to change because her family isn't ready to change. The
lesson was definitely guided by the spirit cause I can't remember half
the stuff I said, but basically I just told her that the feeling she
had was the spirit telling her that this was the truth. And that if
she followed it she would be happier than she has ever been, then her
family will see that change and follow her example. The spirit just
flooded the room and we just sat there in silence for a minute. Then
she said that she will talk to her husband and see if he will let her
attend church.
It was just incredible to see the spirit touch her heart. The spirit
is such an amazing thing. It can change lives if we are willing to
listen to it.
Have a great Easter! Love y'all!
