September 20, 2010

So it's been another crazy busy week..... first off after I e-mailed last week I ran into Kyria Williams!!!! Crazy huh, and we had dinner at the Stokes and their son dated Cheyanne Winters. They are such a fun family! Oh and Cheyanne is Sister Stadlers niece!!! So crazy, we also have a baptism date for a 14 year old girl named Sia. She is a given though, they lost her baptism record so we still have to go through the lessons but she is completely active. The cool thing is her mom isn't and we're starting to teach her the lessons too so that's cool. That was all on Mon. so then Wed we met a 19 year old boy named Jinnyson and taught him and his Dad a short lesson, it was so cool though cuz we gave him a book of Mormon and he just started reading it. We shared some scriptures on over coming trials and trusting in the Lord and he was so excited, it was neat. Then on Thurs we just had another awesome spiritual day, we met a lady named Sapina and shared a message with her, it's cool when you can tell that they can feel the spirit and they want more. Friday we went over to Christin Hoffmans house (investigator) and taught her about Relief Society and Young Women's, she just LOVES it and wants to go to the Relief Society broadcast with us and wants to know when General Conference is. Then we did her hair for the Airforce Ball, it was so much fun!! She is such a nice fun lady!!! We also went and taught a guy who is in his 50's Thomas, and he committed to be baptized by Oct 30, he has a smoking problem, but it was so much fun, he is from the Phillipines. His Dad died about a month ago and he is recently divorced so it was good to see him so happy and know that it was the spirit.
Oh guess what, so yeah, I totally found out Thursday night we needed to give a talk on Sunday in the Aliamonu Ward, ha, luckily I still had the tape that I made for Ray with my farewell talk on it so I just copied it down. So Saturday night I wrote my talk. Oh and for dinner we went to a members house, Sister Domantay, she looks about my age, or a few years older and is divorced with 3 boys. me and her connected so fast, it was cool cuz she asked me about my necklace (mizpay coin) so I told her Ray had the other half and she wanted to hear our story so I told her, and she loved it, said it gave her hope, and then I shared my favorite scripture Prov 3:5-6 she wrote it down....... the cool thing was is that it sounds so silly to talk about that but the spirit was there and I really do feel like it helped her. Sunday we gave our talks and I didn't even cry!!! After church we taught a 14 year old girl named Sam who is awesome, loves the gospel but her parents won't let her get baptized cuz they think she is too young. She goes to church with her friend and we teach at her friends house. The members in both wards are craze about missionary work so they do what they can to help us, I honestly wouldn't mind spending a lot of my mission here, I love the people so much!!!!
Love ya Sister Brough
