legal stuff for a couple to get married. I'm so glad I'm just a
missionary and not a lawyer! Anyway they may not be married for a
couple months, but in the mean time they are all going to church as a
family and their son Edwin will be baptized soon! The mom started
investigating the church about a year ago. She was exploring all sorts
of churches but then she noticed that something was missing, she then
started to go back to the "Mormon" church. She knew that once she
started going back that this truly was Christ's church. We met her
when we saw her at church. We thought she was a member! She's doing
everything she can, going to all the ward activities, reading
scriptures, asking Heavenly Father questions and receiving revelation.
Her Fiancé wasn't too interested until about a couple of weeks ago.
He's going to scouts with Edwin and is almost more involved than the
members. Honestly we don't know what changed with Chris. He wouldn't
even be in the room for the lessons and now he came to church twice.
Probably because he sees how much his 6 and 8 year old love it. Edwin
used to love this one church that had rock walls, trampolines, and
DJ's and all that fun stuff! I don't blame him, I probably would too
at that age or maybe even now if I wasn't born into the church. But
now Edwin is loving the LDS church even more! I truly know that this
is Christ's Church. It has been restored by a prophet Joseph Smith. I
know that we may seem "happy" at other churches or other places but we
can have true joy and eternal happiness only as we live the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.
We went to a meeting in Junction city with Elder Evans who was a
director in the missionary department. It was so neat to talk about
how we can be better missionaries. There was a worldwide broadcast for
all the missionaries 3 weeks ago. This rarely happens... The last time
that happened was about a decade ago. So it must have been really
important. We talked to Elder Evans about this conference and what
stood out. The title of the converts was "Teach Repentance, Baptize
converts" because apparently throughout the world the retention rate
for those being baptized is not very good. So Elder Evans asked us why
it's so hard to tell people to "repent!" So we got rebuked pretty hard
by the spirit and not only are we trying to repent but to really teach
our investigators to repent so they are converted (or changed) before
baptism. Anyway a Elder Evans was inspired. He even told us to be
exactly obedient to be safe and not to do stupid things like take out
our carbon monoxide detector when it starts beeping. And so it started
beeping last night and we weren't sure if it was because of the
battery. Anyway we were told to go to the Spanish sisters apartment.
When we got back to our house we had someone check it. It turns out
the battery needed to be changed! Anyway better safe than sorry! This
is Sister Jensen and I at Qdoba! It's so good, best tacos ever!
I love ya lots!
