| We got to be Zombies and help out with Sonjas Halloween stuff. The Clown dude is her husband. It was pretty fun! They are such cool family. |
Sup fam,
Hope things are going well! if not maybe one of my really
cheesy scripture jokes will (en)lighten things up for ya,
Q: Did all of the creatures on Noahs ark come in pairs?
A: No. The worms came in apples.
Q: What did Noah say as he was loading the Ark?
A: "Now I herd everything".
Tune in next week to hear more!
Well here is the update for the week!
Sonja: We got permission to go and help her
and her family with their Halloween activities they do each year (pictures will
be included). Later on in the week we went over to do family history work with
her and her daughter to help Sonja get ready with some names for the temple and
they were able to get one of their family lines all the way back to 244 BC and
it was super awesome! We are going to the temple with her next week to do
baptisms :) She also spoke at a fireside Sunday night for new members and
investigators. She has the coolest
testimony and at the end said she will always be grateful for "her"
missionaries and what they have done for her. When she said that it hit me that
I, the 19 year old from Utah that still feels like he has no clue what he is
doing, has actually made a lasting impact on someone’s life for the better and
it was pretty cool to really see and realize that. Because, we as missionaries
are getting moved around so much and I know that I have been able to help
others but sometimes it is hard to really realize just what we, as missionaries,
are able to do for other people, because it is what we do all the time. I am
grateful that I have been able to help her and many others because they in turn
have made big impacts on my life that are for the better.

Kenji is so smart for being 8 years old, he asks better questions than most adults that we teach do. He is already in Alma of the Children’s Book of Mormon and tells us every little thing that happened and why he liked it each time we come over. Mike and Lisa both had a really great week as well! We were able to teach them about Temples and families and focus on the priesthood and how they will be able to go to the temple as a family a year after their baptism to be sealed together for time and all eternity. They were so excited about that and have set a goal to go to the temple in a year to

do that. It is cool to see the added peace hope and direction that comes when we realize that family relationships can continue after death. The other cool thing was that the ward fasted with Mike and Lisa this week so that they would have the strength to overcome the addictions they are trying to quit. We gave them Priesthood blessings on Saturday to help start their fast to be bale to quit smoking and be ready for their baptism on the 20th. Right after we did that they gave us all their cigarettes and told us to go and throw them away because they were done with that stuff. They are on day 3 now and still going strong. The power of faith and action are real. They are doing really well.
Longhui and Angelina: Longhui has been
attending the singles branch and Angelina has been coming to the ward with us.
Longhui is set to be baptized on the 26th and Angelina says that she has received
the answer that she needs to be baptized as well, but doesn’t know if the 26th
is right for her, she committed to fast this week, to know if the 26th was the
right day for her as well. We will be seeing them on Wednesday to see how it
went. It has been cool to watch as they once had no knowledge about religion
what so ever and now they are at the point where they pray and read from the
scriptures daily and have even fasted and been able to recognize God speaking
to them.
The Bozman Family: they are a Part member
family we have been meeting with for a little while that has recently started
to slowly come back to church and the 9 year old boy, Jonathan, finally
committed to baptism and said he feels he is ready now and his mom was excited
about that and they set the date together for the 27th of November and they
were also at church yesterday. She feels that this will help the rest of her
family feel the spirit again and give them a desire to return, we are praying
that as well. That would be really cool to watch and help out with.
Well that is all for this week! The other
Elders in the ward are doing really well and we both have lots of people to
teach and the members are coming out with us almost every day. That really is
what has helped these people progress from gaining a testimony of the Book of Mormon,
to gaining a testimony of church attendance, and all in all gaining a testimony
of Jesus Christ. Member missionary work is the best way to do missionary work..
so just because you aren’t a full time missionary doesn’t mean that you can’t
do missionary work and be able to help others come unto Christ as well.
I love my mission, I love my companion and I
love being able to serve the lord and for all the great experiences that I have
had.
Read ur scriptures and say ur prayers
Love you all!
Elder Frandsen
