| Bro. and Sis. Hoover. Oh how I love the people who look after Parker!!! |
what an
awesome week!! we have been so extremely blessed here in Kalkaska!!
thanksgiving was great!! i ate so much im still full haha. no jk, im full cuz i
ate 6 pieces of pizza for lunch just barely. anyways...
as i said this
week was incredible. it started off with us going over to sue's for dinner. sue
is a single woman in her late 40's who came to church two weeks ago with some
members of the branch. we went to dinner with bro hoover and her friends who
brought her to church (the robinsons). dinner was great. she had this cat, it
was a Maine Coon and it was HUGE. soo cool. anyways, we talked to her about the
Restoration and she enjoyed it. We found out later in the week she would be at
church sunday. then yesterday at church, she was loving gospel principles
class. after it was over she turned to bro robinson and said i love this
church! ive learned more here in two weeks than i had the rest of my life
before now! she is awesome. we are going to dinner with her again tomorrow.
hopefully we will be able to begin meeting with her more frequently and get her
baptized.
speaking of
baptisms, we have quite a few of them coming up which is sooo incredible!
kristin (the catholic lady who was ultra prepared by the Lord for us coming by)
is doing amazing. she came to church for the first time yesterday and loved it.
she reads a ton so she has already read tons of the bom and 50 pages in
the teachings of lorenzo snow book since yesterday haha then she came to dinner
at a members with us last night and is having us over for dinner tonight. she
took the sacrament as well (which as a catholic is heresy to take anyone elses
sacrament) so it was a point of no return for her! she said she was ready to
accept the truth though. she just is such a boss! she loves everything we are
teaching her and is soo prepared. what an amazing blessing to have been able to
meet her! she was inviting everyone to her baptism yesterday at church
(including sue).
the drahers
are still doing well. we are going over there twice this week and they are very
excited for their baptism as well. they are great people. so humble and so
awesome. they were obviously another miracle to find!
karla and
steve are doing great. steve quit coffee, alcohol, and smoking and has now
attened church for 2 weeks in Gaylord. another miracle? our branch pres,
president thomas, has been swamped at work cuz they cant find anyone to fill
this spot. it has a ton of special requirements that the person has to be
certified to do. well guess what. steve fit the mold perfectly and was looking
for a new job. so he had an interview last week and hopefully all will go well
there so he no longer has to work on sunday. the Lord works in wonderful
ways!
the church is
way true!
also this
week, this sweet old lady we had met with a few times invited us to catholic
mass! (after i hinted very strongly that i wanted to go!! haha) so we went and
it was awesome! it was soo different. very interesting! the most interesting
part was that their reading for the day was isaiah chapter 2. that is the
chapter where isaiah prophesies that in the last days, the Lord's temples shall
be built in the mountains (utah) and all nations shall flow unto it. but they
just thought it was a cool thought, not as a prophesy that had been fulfilled.
so grateful for this church, for the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Dovenants
and the Pearl of Great Price. they make it all soo clear.
