Bendiciones Por la Obediente

HOLA FAMILIA!

My little St. Peter is being SO blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel so special and blessed to be here at this time. I know I am here for a reason!

Pablo is continuing on to baptism for the 1st of October. He wasn't able to come to church this past week because someone complained about him having Sundays off. We told him he needs to talk to his boss and hold him to what he told him before. Its sad to see people being taken advantage of because of various reasons. We have faith he will be able to get Sunday's off forever so that he can not only be baptized but be a strong kingdom builder. Pablo wants to serve a mission, it's so cute. He is 25 though and almost 26....

Do you remember Travis Kernin and Jason Sauld? Well I tracked into them my first transfer here. We taught them for about 4 months and they were very close to being baptized. They couldn't seem to put God first in their lives at the time. We didn't have contact with Jason or Travis for at least 2 months or more. This past week, I think it was Tuesday night, we got a text from Travis asking if he could still be baptized!!! That was such an awesome text to read hahah I even took a picture! :) I was very curious to know what sparked this interest again. We were able to teach him the very next day. We found out that Jason was doing very bad and has closed everyone off. This has affected Travis and he also shut everyone out for 2 months no communication with his daughter or family. He was going down hill fast. Monday he decided to see his little girl and he realized he needed to change. He knew that experience was an answer from God telling him its time to change and your chances are running out! So he said he picked up the Book of Mormon again and got our number and contacted us right away. He came to church this Sunday and should be getting baptized in the end of October!!! (I hope I get to see that!). He wasn't ready when I first met him but now he is. He received an answer from God to his prayers. It is SO very special to see the fruits of our labor from so long ago. It shows me that no matter what happens with our investigators, as long as we are doing the Lord's work and it is worth it and it has an affect! I feel very blessed to be seeing a miracle like this and apart of his change.

Also the power of service is real!! So this past week we helped a lady bring her groceries into her apartment. She is from Sudan and had some interesting groceries! I had to carry bags of full frozen fish, heads and everything. Well she didn't have time to talk then but we got her number and said we would stop by. Well one of our appointments fell through in that area so we decided to stop by her. We found her 18 year old son CJ there just woken up from a nap. We were able to teach him the restoration and invite him to be baptized and he accepted! He is super cool and a very deep thinker. He takes everything very seriously and to heart. He came to church on Sunday and already has a great member friend. He will be baptized in October as well and maybe also his 12 year old brother. HOW COOL IS THAT?

Well family I am so happy and filled with the spirit of God. There is no greater time of life or time to be in his vineyard. I love you all and keep you in my prayers. I hope you make it a fabulous week! Remember the reason for everything, our savior. lord and redeemer Jesus Christ the living son of God.
