Hey Y’all!!
So seriously things continue to ROCK ON here in Windcrest!! First off, we had an investigator at church yesterday!!!! Those have been few and far between on my mish so I was pretty excited for sure!!! Her name is Vonya and she is from Hawaii. We taught her the Restoration on Saturday and then she came to church the next day- score! So here’s her story. She is 24 got a bachelors in nursing and is an RN. She was looking for a job in Hawaii but just couldn’t get one; they kept telling her that she didn’t have enough experience. Lame Sauce. But hey, it brought her here so it’s all good. She decided to enlist in the army and have them help her get the nursing experience she needed. So she is in an office basic training program right now at Fort Sam Houston and then after that she will begin the medical training and what not. I know nothing about military stuff but I figure I will learn this transfer because there are A LOT of military people in our ward cause Fort Sam is in our ward boundaries. So anyway here’s how we ended up finding Vonya or should I say how Vonya found us- she has a good friend in Hawaii who she grew up with. She should I say “likes” him and he has been there for her through all her trials. He has always talked to her about the church but her family is baptisit and she has really had no interest. But when he got his mission call he told her and she just happened to be over by the temple and so she went into the Visitor center and told them she wanted to know more. Well she was moving to San Antonio two days later so they sent the referral on to us. So we called her up and now she is our investigator!!! So sweet! Well then yesterday after church I looked at her and was like, ok questions comments, concerns- shoot. She was like well, it’s a lot to take in and so many different words and things I am not used to. So if I am gonna do this I need to be completely sure this is true, so I am going to read and pray all week, I will read more in the Book Of Mormon (she had already read the introduction and 3 Nephi 11 the night before) and this book (the gospel principles book the ward mission leader gave her) and then we will talk this weekend I will tell you if I know that this is true and this is the path I want to take. I was like- sweet yes, sounds like a plan! I would love to see her in the middle of the week but she has baisc training all day and stuff so she has no time. But ya, I just have this feeling about her and I am pretty sure she will be baptized in April!! So sick!!! We have a few more new investigators but Vonya is the most promising and in all honesty the coolest! Ha ha
We are also teaching the daughters of a recent convert in the ward. They are 12 and 14 and it is so fun teaching them! The 12 year old is eating it up and loves learning about the gospel, but then the 14 year old is in the rebel stage and she doesn’t really want to go to church but her face tells it all- she likes it when we come over! Ha ha So ya they are sweet. We also have some others we are teaching, one of which is an old Hispanic lady who is so ready to be baptized we just have to teach her a few more things (she was a former) and she has to come back form Mexico- that is the key there!
So the work continues here and we are searching high and low for those elect people ready for the gospel. This past week it was searching while on bikes. The elders decided that we should do a week on and a week off, so they had the car all last week and we were on our bikes ALL WEEK. Then this week we have the car… muwahahaha. But I have decided that I almost like the bikes better because sister Dodge freaks out when shes driving and doesn’t know the area. I navigate which I have gotten pretty good at- Thank You Heavenly Father, and she drives but man it’s insane! Ha ha She either drives like a grandma or she drives like a maniac there is no in between! Lol So ya the bikes might actually be safer! Ha ha It’s pretty funny though to EBP people here in San Antonio. Ha ha We went up to this guy on the street the other day and told him about the church and what not and he was like “I’ve heard of a lot of churches before, but NEVER on a bike!” ha ha that was funny! Speaking of EBP we got it 5 days in a row this week- a new record for us! Also I believe we made a record in the zone this week- we EBP’d 31 people in one day! That was INSANE!!! Our Zone Leaders were pretty proud of us! Ha ha yay! So ya we are working hard here and trying our best to bring people unto Christ and it is awesome!!!
Well not much else to report except for to say that I am so excited for conference next week!!! I hope y’all enjoy it! If you want to make it even more meaningful to you I suggest going into it with a question. Think of something you’ve been struggling with or something that’s been on your mind lately and pray about it and go into the session with that question on your mind and through the words of our apostles and prophets it can be answered!!! That is just mind blowing to me- we have a living prophet on the earth today who speaks to us directly from God, how lucky are we to be able to sit in our houses in our PJ’s and listen to the words of these amazing men! Man we are blessed!!!
I hope all is well with y’all and know that I would love to hear from y’all- letters are my favorite thing in the world other than baptisims!! Lol :)
SMILING ALL THE WHILE
