Nov 18th Letter

Good Morning Utah!

How is the snow? I sure don’t miss it what so ever! haha I love the weather that we are having here I would rather have this than Cold weather haha

Here is my week that went pretty well at least better than the weeks that I have had before!

Wednesday was a good night. We were able to meet with our new investigator Luis. He is a Spanish referral that we got from our Mission President. He is a really good guy and has a desire to learn we had our appointment at the branch building with our Branch President and Elder Sneed. I and my other comp left to go do something because it was in Spanish and we don’t speak it or understand it! But what I was told is that he wants to learn more but he is going to have a hard time cause he can’t get work off on Sundays because he works from 8-5pm at a Spanish restaurant. So we are praying for a miracle that somehow he will be able to get time off to come to church.

 Later That night we were able to go to a less actives house the Crawford’s. We went with our Branch President and simply invited them to come to church along with his nonmember daughter. She told her dad that if she comes that he has to come with her and he was like of course I will! But the cool thing was that she was totally serious and has a huge desire to come to church and potentially take our lessons. This is a huge miracle for us! It all started by just inviting someone to come to church! It’s that simple and let God and the Holy Ghost do the rest of the work! It’s awesome.

 Friday was My Official 21 month Mark, of when I entered into the Mission Field and not a lot happened but the one thing that did was we went by a Part Member Family and for the past 6 weeks they have continued to cancel on us but this time they didn’t and we went to their house and BOOM they cancelled on us. There reason was legit because the husband has lung infection and had to get transported to the Hospital 35 mins away from Navasota. The Wife wanted us to go over there for her sake and give him a blessing no matter what he said so on Saturday we went over there to visit him and he was surprised that we stopped by! and was excited to see us. We talked and we offered him a blessing and he told us not today but when he gets home on Monday to give one to him and his wife. He proceeded to tell us that he wants to get back into the church and get a calling and that he wanted to get his wife baptized soon and he needed our help! Man that was awesome and I know that it will happen. So Many miracles are happening here in Navasota I have a strong feeling that this will be the next baptism in Navasota!!

 This weekend was Stake Conference and we had the privilege to sing as the choir. There were 43 missionaries singing  our missions "fight song" and The EFY melody on Saturday night,  on Sunday we sang Hark all ye nations and Called to serve , The cool thing was that it was super powerful when we sang The EFY Melody and when we sang called to serve we sang after the Primary kids sang I hope they call me on a mission. It was so legit! I felt the Spirit really strong and it gave me Goosebumps from head to toe! The Main topic was about missionary work and it was awesome to see everyone’s excitement about helping us out in bringing others to Christ.

 

D&C COUNTDOWN

D&C 88: 73 and 80-81

73 Behold, I will hasten my work in its time.

80 That ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you.

 81 Behold, I sent you out to testify and warn the people, and it becometh every man who hath been warned to warn his neighbor.

These three scriptures stood out to me for Multiple Reasons. One was that ever since I have been reading my scripture I have gained a testimony of the things that are being said by the Apostles and Prophets about hastening his work are true. Here are the scriptures to prove it and the second is The verse of 80-81 are a testimony to me that I have been called to Houston Texas for a purpose both that I have been commissioned by God and The prophet to come here to represent his Son here and that as I strengthen the members that they will strengthen others.

 I have a testimony that God has a plan for us and that we will know what it will be when we let ourselves be able to be an instruments in his hands. We need to sometimes exhibit patience and long suffering! I know that to be true!

 I love yall and I hope yall have a wonderful week! I’ll talk to yall soon!
