Another day snowed in... These snow days are not fun. With no wifi at
the apartment, we can't really do any updates with our iPads. Haha I
am very sick of these snow days here. They call for like a couple of
inches of snow and the people freak out and prepare for a blizzard.
But the MD people don't know how to drive in the snow so it is a good
thing that we are staying inside.
This past week was cool. We had a neat experience with finding some
new investigators. So Elder Treasure and I decided to visit some
"cool" members in our ward because when you visit every person in your
ward more than once, you lose track of who you have seen, visited,
etc, there is like nothing to do ahah. We payed a visit to a family
named the Jenkins. A little background info on them: Sister Jenkins is
a widow and takes care of her handicapped son, Chris who is SUPER
COOL! Sis. Jenkins also takes care of 2 grandsons who are pretty cool
but energetic. Anywho, we went over to her house and she invited us in
and asked what we were up to and we told her we were just making
visits to ward members and seeing how they are doing, and if they know
of anyone we can teach. Turns out the Jenkins' godfather was there.
And sister Jenkins said: "oh I have someone to teach for you guys!"
(pointing to Eric the godfather) So we taught him how we can over come
the trials in our life with faith in Jesus Christ, we watched the
mormon message "Mountains to Climb" and both Sis Jenkins and Eric
loved how that applied to them. At the end, we asked him if he would
like to learn more about the Gospel and he said yes, but it wouldn't
be at his house... So we get to teach him at The Jenkins house!! :)
Yesterday, Brian Topper, the most recent convert, was ordained a
priest in the Aaronic Priesthood! That was awesome to be apart of. He
was super happy and excited to receive this. Now the next step is to
prepare him for the Melchizedek priesthood and then go to the temple
to get sealed :) I am so proud for Brian and the decision he made just
a few weeks ago.
While we were visiting members, we dropped by Sister Margolis in
Swan Point. She is so cool! She taught us how to make sourdough bread
and cinnamon rolls too. The sourdough bread was
reeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyyy yummy!! I wish we had time to make more
of that stuff.
Sunday was neat. I had a cool experience with comparing blessings to a faucet.
When you turn on the faucet, immediately the water rushes out and
empties into the glass cup. And sometimes, if the water pressure is
low, the water will come out super slow and we get impatient. Often
when searching for blessings, some may come just like the faucet:
instantly filling you with joy, peace and comfort. Some other
blessings come slowly. Blessings come after the trials of our faith.
That is why they may take some time to come to you. I know that Utah
is going through a scary time now because of the water supply in the
mountains is low. As you and I keep our faith strong in Heavenly
Father, he will bless us after the trial of our faith.
This past week, my ankle has been giving me trouble again and it would
mean a lot if you could keep me in your prayers.
I think that is all for this week! I love you all so very much. I think and pray for you everyday. And I hope you have a fantastic week this week!!
