I'm so happy to hear from everyone! Thanks Ri- Dawg for the email! You made my day! Momma- Last Monday we went to Burlington Coat Factory.... there may or may not be a charge on my card from there! hahaha! I really needed a new fall outfit... oopsie! :)
Anywho- This week was so great! We had exchanges earlier this week and Sister Smith (one of the STL's) came to here to Canyon with Sister Affleck and I. This area has been in a serious need of a facelift and miracles happened this week! We talked to so many people on campus and found a few new people to teach! It was great! President Heap has asked us YSA missionaries to make sure that we are attending Institute each week (probably because he was an institute teacher and has a major soft spot for it!) I LOVE going and studying from the Doctrine and Covenants! So good! Jade are you making time in your crazy busy schedule for institute? I hope so! Blessings will follow as you make time for the Lord! This week we took N and K (recent converts) to the temple for the first time! IT WAS AMAZING! I walked into the baptistry and who was the first person I saw? Sis Chris! Ahhh! I was so pumped to see my last companion there! I walked into the confirmations room and C (a recent convert from Lubbock) was there receiving the Holy Ghost for his ancestors! SO COOL! He looked up and saw me and gave me the funniest look! I think he was really excited and confused to see me there! Like, "I thought you left.. you're back!?" Then N was able to do her deceased grandparent's work. WOW! The spirit was so strong- I am absolutely sure that they accepted the work from the other side of the veil because you could feel their presence there so strongly! I can't even explain how great it was! Everyone was bawling! Yesterday at church, President Fish spoke in Sacrament Meeting about the restoration. His testimony solidified my testimony about the Prophet Joseph! Such a great meeting! We had a linger longer and Sister Affleck and I were sicker than dogs from the mystery meat that we ate hahaha! Not good...
Last night, we felt prompted to stop by a potential's home named N and she let us right in. We taught her the restoration and she was glued! She doesn't have much of a religious background, but she has such a strong desire to come closer to Jesus Christ! She will be baptized in a couple weeks, on the 8th of November... Woah, November? Where does the time go!? It's been a great week! I hope to hear from y'all soon!
Love,
Sister Evans
