Hello Everybody!
Oh what a week! I loved it. It sounds like you are all doing great! I think its crazy that Laura was picking out dresses, but that is super exciting. I wish that I could have heard Grandpa play his harmonica!
President Carlos wrote you? He didn't mention a zip line did he? haha I hope what he had to say was nice.
I want to tell you all this story about that dad that we have been teaching. So the whole time we have been teaching him and his kids he has been out of a job, and so it was always on the back of my mind that when he got a job that he would just go less active again. So last Monday he got a job and was working the whole week and we didn't get to teach them until Saturday night.
We had planned to teach them about keeping the sabbath day holy
and that was before we even knew that he had a job. So we get to the house and
we were talking with him and he told us about him finding a job and he said that
it was a blessing from Heavenly Father because of all the changes he has made in
his life. hen he told us that he would have to work on Sunday. And I was pretty
bummed about that. Then we taught them about keeping the sabbath day holy and
the dad just went quiet and didn't say a whole lot after the lesson.
Then Sunday
morning we were waiting in front of the church, it was 8:55 and sacrament
started at 9:00 and they still weren't there. So I said a little prayer asking
the Lord to let them be able to attend. They still didn't show. Me and my comp go
sit and wait there for a minute or two. I was still feeling pretty down, then I
looked out the window and I see him and his kids running inside. They all came
and sat next to us and the dad asked if he had missed anything! haha It was so
great to see these people live the gospel and to see the sacrifice that they
are making to live it. It was a great Sunday.
I love this work! and I can't say it enough! I know that this work is true and I know the Gospel is the answer to all of our questions.
I love all of you.
Love,
Elder Proctor
