Helloooo!!!
Wow. Crazy week. Like always.... Okay soooo where do i even begin??? First an update on our investigators:
Okay
soooo about Darryl... Apparently he got permission from his dad on
Sunday but he also got quite a talking to...and now he's having second
thoughts... doesn't know whether he should be baptized. We have done
everything we can think of and he is really doing his part so I am
leaving it up to Heavenly Father. He has seriously been breaking our
hearts!! We are really hoping for the best and we are already planning
for his lesson on Friday so that should be a really good lesson! Pray
for him please!! He really is super awesome but he is having a really
hard time. He is going to church, praying a ton, fasting, and reading
out of the BOM and so are we so we are just leaving it up to the Lord
now!
Marlyn is doing AWESOME (picture on the blog).
She was really sick for a while so we couldn't see her for a long
time!!! We were kind of nervous about that but when we had our lesson
with her early this week we decided to take a member with us that we
have taken before named Sister Aalsae. We usually have a pretty hard
time actually teaching when we bring her because she talks A LOT, buuuut
we wanted to bring her because they are super great friends. As soon as
we said the opening prayer sister Aalsae just kind of started going off
on a super long story and right when i was about to try to say
something I Looked over at Marlyn and she was just bawling. At that
point I kinda just sat back and let sister Aalsae continue and follow
the promptings of the spirit! As soon as sister Aalsae was finished,
Marlyn said "I don't know why, but I feel to baptize" in her sweet
little broken English. She is SO cute and WE DIED. she has been waiting
for an answer about whether or not she should be baptized and then boom.
the spirit told her she should. That experience was incredible and it
really showeld me how important member lessons are even though they are
often a major struggle! She keeps saying she still hasn't changed her
mind and she knows she needs to be baptized now! Also, later in the
week, we taught her the first part of the Plan of Happiness and we went
in knowing that she had concerns about Adam. We really prepared for that
part of the lesson more than we usually do and after we explained it
you could practically see her brain working. She was able to understand
and she kept saying that we taught her something new and now she has a
different perspective! That was so cool. We asked her a lot of questions
during the lesson in a way that she was kind of able to teach herself
through the spirit so that was an awesome experience! She is doing
AWESOME though! We loveeee her! Her baptismal date is July 22nd!
Next
we have this sweet little Venezuelan named Eaucary that we have been
teaching for the past month whose baptism is this Saturday! I haven't
mentioned anything about her yet because I thought that we weren't going
to get to teach her! We taught he while were working in the other area
and when we moved back to our area i thought that we weren't going to
get to teach her but We found out that we could! We were soooo happy!
She is a little bit shy but she is awesome and she has taken the lessons
twice before so she already knew everything. She is doing awesome and
we are super excited for her!
Up next is the BOM
challenge! You have 1 month and 3 weeks left!!!! Keep reading! I promise
that it will bless your life and help you have a better relationship
with our Heavenly Father! I PROMISE! :)
Okay so today
was awesome and crazy! Sister Petersen and I biked from lighthouse to
lighthouse which are located on both ends of the island! It was soooo
fun and it rained a lot which was weird because it never rains here. We
got SOAKED and i got sooooooooo dirty. Then we ate at a really nice
restaurant at the end of our journey and we were exhausted. It was soooo
fun though! Seriously so fun! The storm that passed through was not
bad at all. It hardly rained and nothing was flooded or anything! It has
been wayyyy more windy than usual though so that has been really hard
with the bikes and the lovely hills in Santa Cruz, but all is well! :)
That is about it this week! It was a crazyyyy week but it was super duper fun and life is soooo gooooood! I love you all and miss you all so much and i hope you have a fantabulous week!
Love,
Sister Woodbury
