Email Letter - June 17, 2013

Hey everyone, this is the last email that will be sent out.

 

This week was really great, we had some really solid lessons with our investigators, especially the new ones we found a couple weeks back, Brian and Carrie. They're so awesome. After we answered a couple of questions about the family proclamation that we gave them about the Pre-Mortal life, we had Carrie say the closing prayer. She was really specific too, She prayed and thanked God that we showed up  while they were searching. They are searchers. We're so excited for them to progress, they slept in and missed church but they felt so badly, and we'll be more on top of them being awake next week.

 

Greg made it to church with his daughter Chrissy, they had to leave early for father's day activities, and Chrissy didn't want to leave. Which surprised us. We're getting really excited for the growth of that family.

I'm happy to see such growth here. The ward is becoming more and more missionary minded and they're really helping out. Things are looking up for the Loomis 2nd ward.

 Life is good, I'll see you next week!

Hey everyone it was another great week here in Loomis. I sure love it here. We had some great success and things are looking good. With Greg, we met with him almost every day again, and he is starting to realize that because he knows the Book of Mormon is true, that he can't keep putting off keeping the commandments. Once he finally commits he'll start making larger steps. We're putting a bit more pressure on him now too, and we feel that will help him make the decision to move forward and act.

 

We also found a middle-aged couple to teach this week. We emphasized with them the importance of family, and how it can be eternal and there can be more peace at home.  We see things going well with them.

Life is going really good, Elder Livingston and I are both happy and unified and working hard. I love you all!

Hey all, life is still going great. We have seen so many miracles this week and it has been so amazing. We're still meeting with Greg almost every day, and he's doing awesome. He still won't commit to a baptismal date, but we're making progress to that point and he's doing awesome.

I had a great experience with one of the Assistants this week, it was one of those days where it doesn't look like we would be able to get everything we needed to done in the time we had. But of course it all worked out. We had to get their car into the shop to get their tires replaced and brakes changed, and because of that we were on foot all day. No big deal, except their area covers two stakes out here. Which made for a lot of fun. It was truly miracle after miracle though. We had members pull over and ask if we wanted rides, which was the only way we made it to appointments on time, and also just in the right amount of time to pick up the car, if that member hadn't shown up they would have been carless all weekend. So all of that plus all sorts of miracles in the Loomis area. It's really been amazing to see that just like it says in Preach My Gospel, obedience brings blessings, exact obedience brings miracles. As Elder Livingston and I haven't shirked off our duties just because we go home soon, we've seen a special outpouring of miracles, on us and those around us. And we will continue to work in such a way that pleases the Lord.

Life is good here, I'm sure it is there too. I love you all, take good care!
