One Amazing Week

Our week was amazing. And it ended perfectly yesterday. Couldn't have asked for anything more. We were blessed to have 5 investigators at Church. Margaret and Tessa showed up. Bishops wife took to them straightway once they got there. And Tessa went to YW and loved it.

Amelia and her daughters came. Her daughters went to primary and they loved that. And Lauryn came also. What an amazing Sunday. Well, first we taught Amelia the Plan of Salvation on Thursday and committed them to baptism and the accepted! (July 26). So on Sunday it was my turn to teach our Gospel Principles class. So I taught a 2nd (Plan of Salvation) again. To review and keep things fresh. We had 12 people in there. One was a recent convert. Two were investigators and the rest were me, Dixon, class pres and fellowship! So it was just awesome to have so many people.

When I got to the kingdoms and was explaining the Telestial Kingdom, Amelia said I know I don't want to go there! haha It was so awesome to hear her say that. Her daughters said it on Thursday when we taught then, But they said Oh We want to go live with God! We were so happy! So you could imagine how happy we were after class.

Well after that we went and taught the Primary our Mission song, Harvest. Because we are going to put on a missionary fireside where we have a slideshow of all the returned missionaries in our ward and music and stuff like that. We'll have speakers and some music items and one is the primary singing that song. It'll be cool. So that took up the last of our Sunday. It was a good thing we didn't have any male investigators or else we would've needed to be with them. But after that Margaret asked if we could give her a blessing because she has a lot of stuff to deal with and she's nervous and wants help.... So good! We were so happy.

Bishop gave her a blessing and it was awesome. Her asking for a blessing eliminated all our doubts about them being baptized on time. They are going to be baptized. It'll go through. So it was a great end to a really good week. Many other good things happened this week that I don't have time to tell you about. But it was really good! It's amazing to see people accept the gospel and see it make changes in their lives. With Amelia, after the first time we taught them we came back and she said her dad had noticed a change. A big change. It had only been 4 days. It's incredible. Some people are just so ready. Some people, it takes a while. But that's okay.

The Church is true. It's an amazing concept that all we have to do is be obedient and we'll be saved.
