I only have about 15 min. left of my hour to email, so I’ll
be quick:
We had a baptism this weekend. Paula is someone that Sister
Lamb and her previous companion had knocked into, who was very, very prepared.
That woman has faced more adversity in getting baptized than anyone i have ever
met. She had her Interview with President Stubbs on Wednesday, and we were so
worried that her husband wouldn't let her go. We got to the church to meet her
and found her sitting on a chair in the hallway. She looked up, saw us, and
burst into tears. We pulled her into a classroom and she told us that there had
been a very scary situation involving guns and alcohol at home, and she was so
worried about her family. We were able to read from the book of Mormon with
her, and pull the elders into the room to give her a priesthood blessing. I
have never felt such a strong spirit as I did in that little classroom. She
told us the next day that she had never even thought to call off or postpone
her baptism; even with everything Satan had thrown at her... she just knew that
it was what God wanted her to do and that she was going to be blessed. I look
up to that woman so much. I loved
getting to watch her make covenants with her Heavenly Father. She is super
excited to get to go to the temple and do the same for her mother and father. She
bore her testimony afterward and said she felt "tickly from the inside
out" :) way cute!
Sister Lamb, Paula, and Bryndee
Today, for dinner, we are going to the birthday party of one
of our recent converts. It’s FHE themed :) I'm way excited :)
We got to give a training in ztm last Thursday. I've got to
say, I've gotten a lot more confident in my public speaking skills. It’s cool
to look back in my journal and see how much I've grown in that aspect since I
first came out :) It still freaks me out, but.... I'm starting to get used to
it I guess :)
Miracle! We got a call from one of our ward members this
week: "hey, I heard you were looking for someone to translate sacrament
meeting into ASL.... my daughter is less active, but she said that she would
help y'all, if you were interested?"
So now we've got a potential baptism and re-activation, all
in one! We're super excited!
Welp, I hope your week is blessed, and you're sharing the
gospel like crazy!!!

Probabally the most creative "mission tree" I have ever seen.
