Monday we had no p-day because of weather. Sister staker and I were going a little bit crazy being cooped up for two days. We may or may not have snuck out and played around in the ice. Ha sister staker may or may or have fallen once....it was pretty funny. We had a good lesson with Kassi on Tuesday, but she won't give up her coffee to get baptized. Sister staker said she could sell all the coffee she had online and she would make a good profit. Yaaaa Kassi didn't take her up on that one. On Wednesday we met out miracle refferal family the catabay's. The weirdest thing happened when we pulled up. I had fracked this whole street my first transfer and I talked to one of Ricardo's sons and gave him a card. It was crazy that three months later I am back at the same place. We had a bomb first lesson with Ricardo and his wife Angi. We followed up on what the sisters in the had taught him at the visitors center on the restoration and taught him the plan of salvation. And he just soaked up the whole idea of the kingdom of glories. He joked around and said his wife wasn't going to make it to the celestial kingdom if she didn't get baptized, it was quite funny. Ricardo asked if we could come over everyday so he could be ready to be baptized...I mean who says that!? We had a really cool experience with Tina and Davey. Tina decided to quite smoking cold turkey and asked for a blessing. We asked brother Thornton (1st counselor in the bishop brick) to give it to her one. Davey said that he quoted drinking while we were there and we were floored. He said he wants to get baptized at the end of Jan and again we were floored.
Brother Thornton brought his wife who similarly was Tina's visiting teacher. You could say the sister staker and I are killin it in doing missionary work and making sure the members do their home and visiting teaching. Ha I love it. They all just clicked and sister staker and I just sat back and enjoyed the scene in front of us. On Thursday we had a lesson with Jim lee. It has been awhile since we have seen him due to the holidays. It was a strong lesson that ended in him saying he would pray to see where God wanted him to be. We then had another lesson with Angi and Ricardo and we met their son Eric, the one I talked too. We talked about baptism, the baptismal questions and read in 3nephi 11. It was so awesome, this family is golden! Friday we talked to Ricardo and Angi about modern day prophets and he told us he would pray for tommy ha he is a hoot. We also tackled the subject of the word of wisdom. Sister staker and I were kinda nervous, but that all disappeared when Ricardo said he would stop drinking coffee and that he had never touched drugs in his life and that drinking and smoking is bad for you. He said he loves God so much that he is putting him first in his life over everything else...again who says that!? He also told us he wants to tithe. We hadn't even talked to him about tithing. He said he wants to give back to God and his church because everything he makes God gives and blesses him with. Sister staker said we pay 10% and he was all steam ahead with that! I had to pinch myself. We had a pot luck dinner Friday night. It was a adult social that consisted of investigators, less active, new members and the auxiliary. We had a spiritual spot and played some fun get to know you games. We had a memeber named Tali who brought her sister who is not a member. We went to a baptism with Davey and his daughter who will be turning 8 in June. It was cool to see sister Thornton come and sit with them. It was so good for Davey and his daughter to be there.
We saw Tali's sister on Saturday. And guess what she brought all her kids and some of her brothers kids to church. A total of 8 people showed up form her family and then we had 5 more investigators come to church and 4 less actives. It was a bomb meeting because sister staker and I spoke on seeking first the kingdom of God. This week was awesome. So many miracles and I a, so blessed. One week from transfers so don't send me anything to my apartment address, just to the mission home until I know where I am going! Peace(:
What sister staker and I look before we go out....
