Found a lizard!
Temple Trip w/ Hma Jordan
So first and
foremost... SPENCER GOT HIS MISSION CALL! I'm stoked for you, Spence! The Pocatello,
Idaho mission is going to be so much better off with you there! The highlight
of my week was probably being able to Skype with you guys for that short time
to watch Spencer open his call. As soon as he started reading the call I
definitely felt the Spirit. Mission calls come from the Lord, there's no doubt
about it.
This
last week was an interesting one. We have an investigator who came to
church last Sunday and started a little bit of a stir in our Sunday school
class about Christ turning water into wine. He got pretty heated. So
that, with the fact that he's a pretty built guy, led the elders to suggest to
us that we always bring a priesthood holder over when we meet with him (we
usually just brought another woman with us). Which I agree with, it's safer
that way, plus, it's better fellowship for him. Well, for some reason
this week we had the hardest time finding priesthood holders who could come with
us (and believe me, we called/ talked to A LOT of people). So
unfortunately, we weren't about to see him at all this week, which was kind of
rough. But he's called to ask why we haven't come by, which is good. And
hopefully this will just give him more time to read the Book of Mormon!
But on a brighter
side, we have an awesome investigator, Maria, who is literally the most
prepared person I have ever taught on my mission. She is so ready to
accept the things we teach her (and she accepted a baptismal date), and she is
really working to get an answer. And when she came to church she wanted to sit
in the FRONT so she could see and hear better! No one ever wants to sit in the
front! Haha I was so impressed. So that is awesome. We love her.
Other than that things
are pretty normal. We enjoyed watching the General Woman's Session of
conference on Saturday, although it was sad to not be there in person with
grandma Edgley like past years. But it was just as good watching it from
the stake center as it would have been from the conference center! And I am so
excited about these upcoming sessions of conference! We have a whole weekend to
FEAST on the words of today's prophets and apostles. I am so grateful for that.
I hope all of you set aside time and make watching conference a priority.
Because it's so so good!
Also, if you haven't
seen the Because He Lives video... go watch it! And share it with all of your
friends! Not just through facebook, but invite them to your home and share it
with them so that they can really feel the spirit of the video. Be member
missionaries! The link for the video is HeLives.mormon.org and
in spanish it'sElVive.mormon.org, for all the
Spanish-speaking people you know.
Anyways, love you all!
And thank you for all the love and support!
xoxo,
Hermana Horne
