Hello Everyone!!!! Well this week has been AMAZING!!!! So many miracles happened in Overlake. So this will be a little different this week but instead of telling you all about the days I am instead going to tell you about our investigators!!!! (and then some adventures)
Tatiana- Tatiana Is maldovian and she is wonderful!!! She was unfortunately sick this week but we tried to take her some soup and in the process we ended up having an impromptu lesson with her!!! wahoo! She has amazing faith and loves the Bible sooo much. She is having a hard time reading the Book of Mormon at this point but she does believe that the Lord would and does speak through prophets today. she just doesn't know who it is ha ha. She will get there.
Pratima and Ananta Sharma- This is our Nepali couple and oh man did we see miracles with them this week. We have pretty much taught them everything at this point but they don't really understand everything due to the language barrier. So we tried to show them finding faith in Christ this week. Our DVD wouldn't play on their laptop though so we pulled it up on
LDS.org and watched a video clip of the nativity with them! It was amazing!!!! Pratima has been feeling the spirit all along and told us she believes in God. Ananta is a scientist and he has had a harder time with the concept of a Loving Father in Heaven. But... after watching this movie he told us that he had goosebumps and that he felt good inside... Hello Spirit! So wonderful! We had to get running so we asked if we could have a prayer and Ananta raised his hand immediate and asked if he could say it! He offered such a sweet prayer and said he was thankful for the "energy" that they had felt! So happy for him that he felt and recognized the Spirit. We also got them to agree to start meeting with us two times a week!!! wahoo!!! So happy to meet with them more often to help them recognize the Lord and his plan for them!
Nidhi- Nidhi is our Indian investigator and she is soooo cute! We found her tracting and she told us we could come back to share more about Jesus Christ and his life! She is Hindu but she believes that all religions are good so she wanted to learn more about Christianity. So we began teaching her about the plan of salvation. We got to earth life and we were discussing the Role of Jesus Christ as our Example and we explained his atonement and how much he did for us. We then discussed how he was baptized and invited her to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized and she said YES! She is planning to be baptized on March. 15th. and guess what!?!?! She came to church on Sunday!!! Wahoo! She actually came to the church on Sat. morning thinking that was the day we said to come and thankfully people were there cleaning the church. She talked to them and they told her it was Sunday instead so she came back! She said she felt so peaceful in the church. We got to give her a church tour and She loved it! She is excited to come back next sunday and to bring her little girl to "feel more peace". We are meeting with her on Tuesday night and I cannot wait.
Raine and Richard Mo- Our Chinese Couple. So we have been meeting with the Mo's for a while and they have finally agreed to meet with us weekly! We were able to give Raine a Chinese Book of Mormon this week to read along side of her English one and she is so excited to be able to understand it better! She is so sweet and so sincere in her desire to know if God is really there! Love them!
Alexis- our Hispanic investigator. He is so great!!!! So he is actually our Recent converts boyfriend. He started asking questions because he told us that he saw a change in his girlfriend in a good way. We gave him a Book of Mormon on Wednesday and when we met with him on Saturday he had read over 10 ch.! He doesn't know much about God but he told us he sincerely wants to learn about him and the plan he has for him! He is on date for baptism on March 22nd! He is really sincere in his desire to learn and he is excited to keep meeting with us!
Those are our AWESOME investigators! Don't worry we will find more this week ;)
Other fun things that happened this week.
Our Car broke ha ha we had to get new brakes, new front roter (sp?), and a new front axel... so the church sold our car and gave us a new one!!! and I mean NEW one! the vehicle coordinator loves my companion and I and for "dealing" with our run down car he gave us a 2014 Ford Fusion!
