Hola!
JOSEPH IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!!! We went from him nearly dropping us last
Sunday, to setting a baptismal date for November 22nd! Ever since he has set
that date, he has been so happy and seriously a changed person. He said that
after we dropped him off after stake conference last Sunday, he sat in his car
and pleaded with the Lord whether or not it was worth it to continue meeting
with us. He said he started noticing all the benefits he has received from
studying with us - specifically improving his character, and he remembered
Mosiah 5:2-5 and D&C 11:12-14 and felt that was how he felt like Heavenly
Father chose to answer his question about whether or not to continue. So in his
words he said, "I'm just going to go with the spirit on this one." He is recognizing and acknowledging the spirit.
And then, get this, the day after, he gives a Book of Mormon to his friend.
What a missionary. We seriously hope he goes on a mission. He would be an
incredible missionary.
We are beginning to teach the friend of a youth in the ward. He comes to
church, mutual and even early morning seminary with his friend! We are also
starting to teach Haley who is the friend of another youth who also comes to
church and mutual. These youth are simply bringing their friends to the things
they love and participate in. Not only will us teaching their friends be great
for their friends, but also for the youth. Those lessons are powerful, and the principles taught in them are true and the spirit
testifies of that. It is the gospel right down to the basics which we all need
to start from and build upon. It helps us all to be reminded of the simple
things. The stronger our testimony of the foundation is, the better we can build
upon it.
I also want to testify the priesthood of God has been restored on the
earth. It is powerful and truly is God's power. We had the opportunity to meet a
new couple who just moved into the ward. They were at the hospital where they
needed a blessing. It was their first night in their new house and didn't know
anyone or anything about the ward. They somehow got the number of the
missionaries and so we and the elders went to meet them. They said they had been
less-active for the past little while, but yesterday (Sunday) they came to
church. It was wonderful.
Hermana Horrocks and I sang in church. They haven't had any musical numbers
since we have been in the ward, so we took initiative and prepared one!
Anyways, what a week!! I love you all! :) :) Stay warm!!
Love,
Hermana Trommlitz
