| The Kirkland Temple |
It's been a minute (a week) So
hopefully you have had some time to recover from last weeks jokes.. :) Here are
some new ones to keep you going for the week:
Q: What excuse did Adam give to his children as to why they
no longer lived in Eden?
A: Your mother ate us out of house and home.
Q: Who was the worst sinner in the Bible?
A: Moses. He broke all of the 10 commandments at once.
Alright here is the run
down for the week:
Sonja: We were able to
print off some names for the temple to prepare for this Friday. I am super
excited to be able to go to the temple again with a recent convert as last time
I went for that it was one of my favorite experiences on my mission and I don’t
think that this one will be any less special. Give you some more updates on how
that goes next week.
Mike, Lisa and Kenji: It
is crazy how everyone that is preparing to be baptized the two weeks prior
always has something happen that tries to deter those people from following
through with that, and Mike Lisa and Kenji have all felt that Satan has been
throwing things at them constantly to make them turn back but as they shared
with us, one night they were having a rough time and they flipped open the Book
Of Mormon and it opened to helaman 5:12 (look it up if you don’t know it) and
they said that was what helped them to put everything else to the side and they
all said that they wanted this too much to give up now. It is always awesome to
watch as we prepare lessons for them to see how it was exactly what they needed
or a certain member we bring out is just the right person that they needed. So
even though Satan is trying his hardest, God is there in the midst giving them
exactly what they need to get through this to receive the blessings (Mosiah
24:12-16) (Ether 12:6). They are holding strong to no smoking and no coffee and
have been staying strong. Their baptism will be Sunday night, so I will send
some more updates on that next week :) They are awesome.
Longhui and Angelina:
They have had all the lessons and really it seems like they have no concerns as
they prepare for their baptism (keep our fingers crossed). But they have both
made lots of progress in the past month especially as they finally both decided
that they should be baptized. They both continue to read and have awesome
questions. All is well in Zion here...
Jonathan Bozman and Co: Still
Chugging along and is still decided on being baptized on the 27th, sometimes it
is hard to gauge with younger kids what they have actually taken in from what
we taught them, so we have been re-teaching the lessons and he has remembered
most of it and been able to tell us what it is all about, so that is always a
good thing. I am excited for them to follow through with this.
In other news: This week
Elder Cortez and I went to Kirtland for my Doctors appointment and were able to
stop by Charrise and her family on the way back! Ahh man, I Love that family
they will always have a special place in my heart and Charrise will always be
my mama in Ohio, what a good lady.
This week we also got
certified in CPR, there is a guy from the RLDS church that is really nice and
loves having the missionaries over and offered to teach us the CPR stuff for
free and certify us... so if anyone ever goes into cardiac arrest during a
lesson because, they felt too much of the spirit, then I guess I will be able
to bring them back! (or if they have a heart attack over the election results)
