Chelsee's letter this week - She sounds happy!
I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just thought you should know! I am on such a spiritual high! Today we went to the temple as Trainers and New missionaries! It was so good to be in the temple with President and Sister Christensen! That was the first time that I have been in the temple with them. We first met with the brand new Temple President, President Ballard, and then we went into the session. I'd have to say that one of my favorite parts was looking over at President during the session and seeing him look at his beautiful wife and wink at her! SO CUTE! I love seeing people who are in love!
Ok, enough of that lovey dovey stuff...I am excited because President is coming to Seminary tomorrow. He is coming for our investigator Daniel who met President back in Feb. and was very impressed by him. Daniel's schedule is so crazy busy that that is the only time we could get the two of them together again. Speaking of Daniel, he is getting baptized on the 22 now because that is when his aunt from Georgia can make it in to town. One of the greatest highlights of my mission thus far was on Sunday when Daniel bore his testimony in fast and testimony meeting. Sister Johnson and I were smiling from ear to ear. We felt like proud Momma's!!! He has such a powerful testimony and I am so excited for him to get baptized!
The Turners are getting ready for their baptism on Saturday! They are the most stellar family I have ever taught! We played a review game yesterday in the form of Jeopardy! They knew the answers to every single question. In fact, they even beat the members who were playing. Yay Turners!!!!!
We are all praying that Barbara the 15 year old daughter will follow the example of her family members and join the church in the near future. I don't think it will be too long!
Donna and Craig are getting back on top of things after a slight downhill slope. We were over at their house on Sunday, we took them a fresh pomegranate right off a tree (yep thats right... they are all over out here!!! YUM!!!). We sat and pulled it apart and talked for about an hour one on one with Craig. We got a lot of his true feelings towards the church out of him. He has a testimony but just doesn't recognize it yet. As we have gone over every day this week we have seen that testimony bloom and he is starting to realize that he has one!!!! Yay for Craig!
We found out on Monday that Victor Pickering's dad is getting baptized this weekend in Henderson. Victor and Kassie had no idea he was meeting with the Elders and Victor Senior had no idea that Victor Jr. and Kassie were baptized almost a month ago. It was actually Victor's sister who told Kassie and then Kassie told her that they had been baptized and so on... now Victor's sister is taking the lessons and we are going to start teaching his mom tonight. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Victor has been praying that his family would have a chance to learn about the gospel and accept it into their lives. Prayers sure are heard and answered!
I am LOVING November in Nevada! It is even nicer than it was last year! It has been in the 80's lately... in fact, we are playing sand volleyball for a zone activity today! I love wearing shorts and a tee-shirt outside in November!!! Heaven, I'd say YES!
Oh and incase you have forgotten......... I love Boulder City!!!!!!!
Thank you all for being so fantastic! Thank you for the example you all are and THANK YOU for all of your prayers! Remember to make good choices, don't do drugs and BE HAPPY!!!!!!!
Love, ME!
