Wow this week has been a whirlwind of adventure.... so many things have happened I almost don't know where to begin.....
So being in a three some took some definite adjustment but we did it and we taught really well together!
Monday- We had a lesson with our investigator Raine on Monday and that was one of the coolest lessons I have ever been in. Raine is from Beijing and speaks really great English but she prefers to speak in Chinease. so we had a ward member come with us that speaks Chinese! It was so much fun to hear them speak a different language almost the entire lesson.
Tuesday- We met a man named Don on this day that talked to us for over an hr. about how our church is wrong. That was a VERY interesting conversation. But the Lord was with us and we were able to feel the spirit and help right some wrong misconceptions about the church. Don told us we believe Joseph Smith is the same as Jesus Christ.... um no ha ha no one can be as perfect and wonderful and redemptive as our savior ha ha But an interesting conversation none the less.
Wednesday- okay so we found a less active a little bit ago that doesn't have her records here in overlake. She is very interested in the church still but worried people will judge her. She is living with her boyfriend and they have two small children. Anyways we prayed going in that we would be able to get her birthday somehow so we could get her records so she can have visiting teachers.... well 10 minutes into the lesson she randomly (well not so randomly ha ha) gave us her birthdate and then kept talking!!!!! MIRACLE!!!
Thursday- This day was extremely long... we ended up having a 4 hr. interview with President choi to help out the area of overlake. Then we weekly planned. ha so we didn't get out until our dinner appointment with our nepalian investigator couple. Nepalian food.... delicious!!!! except their chicken had a lot of bones in it and the couple never pulled the bones out ha ha so we didn't either. Crunchy chicken... not my favorite.
Friday- oh friday.... this day was hard. One of my best friends out here ended up getting hurt and had to go home this day. and as a result.... our tripanionship became a duo... (Sister Crockett was transferred elsewhere)... So this day we got sister Crockett packed and off to her new area.
Saturday- We had our ward Chili cookoff this day and it was a huge success!!! our Nepali couple and our Chinese couple both came! It was sooo much fun to have them both there. We were able to give them both church tours and they both talked about the peace they felt in the chapel!!! so wonderful!
Sunday- okay so a little bit of back story. Soooo. we have an investigator named Isabel that was supposed to get baptized on this day.... and she forgot/didn't know (works a lot and literally didn't remember) so our Zone leader and district leader went to her house sat. night and suprise interviewed her and so we had an impromptu baptism! It was one of the best baptisms I have been too! So Isabel met president Eaton (Mission Pres. in Federal way) in the airport and he introduced her to the Gospel. He gave her contact info. to President Choi ) My mission president) who gave it to Sister Eaton (president Eaton's daughter who just happened to be serving where Isabel lives!!! Sister Eaton has since been transfered and I came in but.... President Eaton got to come to her baptism and confirm her a member of the Church! Also President Choi and Sister Choi came... and Sister Moore played the Violin. (she has a fear of playing in front of people though, so I ended up singing in front of two mission presidents, one of who is a first member of the seventy. ya nerve racking)
Anyways Isabel got baptized and Miracles are happening!!!! Wahoo!!!!
Quote of the week: "Don't wait to do tomorrow what should be done today!"
This can be used in so many ways but there is on that I hope to never forget. That is that if someone is ready to be baptized then do it! Even though they are ready and will be ready the next day still do it, even if it will be inconvenient for you. It is there salvation, their celestial glory, their forgiveness, and their eternal family. Always trust God who IS hastening his work" -Sister Kelsie Jade Mullins Oct. 2 2013
