Week 53- Running out of subject headlines

This is mom, we didn't get a letter last week.... :(  Priscilla got online briefly, but then she emailed and said, "We need to go and do some service for a member, I will try to get back online and write later."....she never got back online,  she's dedicated to the work!!!!

Howdy howdy,

This week *siiigh* what happened this week...

I'LL TELL YOU!!!!!

The Lord's helping us with getting more and more members out with us lately and just in the past few nights crazy things happened. We were out with Sister Perez and she was driving us to a lesson with Kirsti. She kind of got quiet for a second and then said, "You know, if this lesson doesn't happen, I think I'm going to drive you over to my friends because she needs to hear about the gospel."  ......!Wut the?? YES YES YES. (It didn't fall through..but we're still meeting with her!) And then we were out with Sister Marks and she was on the phone with a friend for a minute while we were in the car and she kind of looked at us, looked at her phone, then looked at us again and paused. "Heather...I've got two girls that I would really like you to meet" WADUBASCHA.

Missionary work is so much FUN. So simple and fun. We're just really trying hard to work with our members still with building their trust but then asking those hard questions "Who do you know that you would love to be able to see come closer to Christ"? We don't want to jump right into it right away and seem like "those pushy missionaries"..but come on everyone. That's our purpose! We only have a year and a half to do this, and there is absolutely no room for fluff. Dinner hour at members houses is really if you think about it, the best finding hour of the day! So we're just trying to find ways that we can constantly improve it and build member TRUST and not friendships. No fluff. Members will respect us more and we will be able to baptize more wonderful children of God. Win win situation.

Kay, I'm done.

The Rodriguez's are doing okay. They just really need more faith in the Law of Chastity and EXERCISING their faith. And through that then the blessings will come. It's really just that leap of faith that they need to first take. Brother Rodriguez told us point blank the other night "Sisters, I really want to get baptized and I'm tired of waiting." We then told him that he needed to have faith in Heavenly Father and move out because Sister Rodriguez is super wishy washy about them getting married, not ready if she wants to make that commitment (plus she still needs to get divorced) and so it's not going to happen for a while it sounds like. But yet they still love each other..*siiigh* we're just really trying to follow the Spirit with that wonderful family because they want to get baptized but they need to have more faith and just decide what they're going to do.

Everyone else is plugging right along beautifully towards Baptism. Gabriella's still on track for getting baptized the 27th sooo it's going to happen!
