Milagros, bautismos y ardillas




#God's Army

Whats up fam,                                         October 17, 2016


Couple of jokes for the week (yes I know they are getting worse by the week).

Q:  Why are all of the prophets from the Book of Mormon always depicted with large arms?
A:  It's from scripture chasing with the brass plates in seminary.


Q:  What kind of a pet did Lehi have?
A:  A flea. The Lord told Lehi to take his family and flea into the wilderness.

Well here is the quick run down of the week:

That awkward moment when you are a missionary
and all you can do is give someone a high five.

Sonja's Baptism:  Sonja is on cruise control and has been for the past 3 months... she is so cool. We visited her earlier in the week and her goal was to finish the Book of Mormon by her baptism and she did it!  Her goal is to read it again in 90 days with the Relief Society... if only everyone that we taught was that ready and willing to learn then the world would be a different place. The baptismal service itself was such a cool experience.  Half, if not more of the ward, was there to support her in her decision to be baptized.  Her family and in laws were there as well. Right after I baptized her she turned around to me with the biggest smile and the spirit was really strong and then she gave me a high five, ha-ha. At the end of the service she got up and bore her testimony and she has such a cool story and most everyone there was in tears by the end of it.  So cool to watch her as her faith in the Savior and the gospel have grown the past 3 months. Glad that I had the opportunity to be a part of it.

Mike, Lisa and Kenji: Mike is doing a lot better now and is able to meet with us again which is a plus.  Kenji their son is such a smart kid and loves church! Lisa is the rock of the family and is so cool... I have watched her changed so much in the past month as she has been truly studying from the Book of Mormon and praying daily. She has recognized the spirit guiding her recently and she says it is the greatest feeling and she knows that is what she wants in her life and is determined to have that for her and her family no matter what she has to give up. The power that comes from the gospel is real. They are a cool little family. 

Longhui: We set a baptismal date with him this week as he enjoyed the singles branch and wants to take the next steps forward. Member missionary work is real and is the reason why he is progressing as he sees others that share the same beliefs. He is coming to know for himself. 

Elder Cortez and I: This past week was great! We found lots more potentials and people to teach which is good so we won’t have to be out tracting so much during the winter months. He has a lot of faith and works hard. He also can’t say the word squirrel and it is the funniest thing to hear him say it everyday when he sees one. 

Things are going well, Missionary work is good and God loves all of us. The Book of Mormon is real and we should take advantage of it. Prayer is how we can communicate with Heavenly Father... so why wouldn’t we do it?  The church is true and the book is blue! 

Love y'all,
until next week, 

Elder Frandsen
