Hi everyone!:D
Hi everyone!:D
This week we've been meeting lots of good families, and some people who really seem ready. Heavenly Father blessed us a lot this week, and this week we set 10 baptisms!:D I've learned not to get too excited though because we meet a lot of people who are willing to listen and set dates but aren't too good at keeping commitments. We had lots of great people this week who really wanted to come to church but always on Saturday night weird things happen. Sunday morning literally all of the people we felt good about texted us with just crazy reasons why they couldn't come to church. Two cars broke down, three people in the hospital, and one psycho boyfriend. We taught his girlfriend and she seems super excited about getting baptized, so far she's been taught the restoration.
Do you guys remember that one little family I told you about that came to church 3 weeks ago? (He's come to church three times and his niece & daughter)? It was the guy named Tim, he doesn't have a eye or tongue, and I told you guys that he's super nice. Last week we set him with a date of May 30th. He's been taught the first three lessons and several of the others. Three days ago we taught Tim the Word Of Wisdom and the Law Of Chastity, and he seemed to really understand both things. After the closing prayer 16 year-old Tommy walked by (one of Tim's friends) and this is what Tim said to him.
Tim: "Hey Tommy, C'mere. Imma teach you what they just told me. I made a commitment. Look at me! NO PORNOGRAPY! Abstinence!"
I LOVE TIM!:D lol He's really funny and is a super nice guy and wants to be a good example to his daughter. And every time we say a opening or closing prayer and one of his friends walks by he'll tell them to come say a prayer with us. And he's telling people to come to his baptism, he'll be like "your coming to my baptism right?" Tim is a really good missionary and he isn't even a member yet:) Two weeks till his baptism! I'm so excited for him :D And he can't wait for his baptism either. Yesterday he almost gave me a heart attack, he told us he'd definitely be at church, and five minutes into it he wasn't there. Sister Moffett went outside and called him and he told her he had nothing to wear.
Sis Moffett "Tim, if you aren't here today, you CANNOT get baptized on the 30th"
Tim "I'll be there in 5"
Tim did end up coming ( I was so relieved!) and I don't think we have to worry a ton about him plus we're seeing him almost everyday We have some other really great people were teaching, but Tim is the only that has been able to come to church:( Oh well lol it still was a great week!:D We just have to keep working hard, do our best and rely on Heavenly Father.
Yesterday in the car we said a prayer right before a lesson and it was Sister Moffett's turn. And she said something really funny. Sister Moffett: "Please bless all the people we said we'd pray for" Then she ended the prayer, it was just funny because we meet people all the time and we say we'll pray for them but then we never do because we forget. After the prayer we just started laughing for 10 minutes lol I know it's not that funny, I guess you kinda had to be there :D
Love Sister Keables! :D
