So this week was great here in Canyon! We had a couple of very spiritual lessons with returning less-active members and recent converts, so that was great! It's amazing what the spirit can teach each of us!
THANKS MOM and DAD for the Valentines Box! I loved it! You brightened my day! Sister Dale had surgery this week on her nose, so we took care of her by making her a couple batches of cookies! She's worse than I am with the sweets! hahaha!
The highlight of this week: our investigator, J! We taught him several times this week and he is progressing so well! This week was stake conference and he came to the Sunday session and was so happy to be there! He walked up to me and said, "Sister Evans, I didn't sleep all night and stayed up until 6am because I was just so excited to come today. So while I was up all night, I decided to pray and ask the Lord if I am making the right decisions. I felt like he was answering my prayers, so I just kept praying and praying." It was the most tender thing of my life! What a sweet kid, just seeking for truth! He is still planning on being baptized on the 21st and is preparing himself well for that day!
For the Saturday evening session of conference, I was part of the stake "missionary choir." We sang a few songs and then sat in the congregation among all of the other members. Elder Keele (of the 70) said something that really hit me hard- "We (missionaries) represent how those in the spirit world are embedded among us." Then he had the missionaries hum the song "Love One Another" as he shared scriptures about Christ and then bore testimony. It was neat! We had a great week! I know that the Lord is hastening His work and we have all been saved for these latter-days for a reason! I know that it's not by coincidence that we are all here at this time, because Heavenly Father has a perfect plan and it is all by design that we are here.
This week I've really noticed that people are very curious about the Mormons! We are definitely a unique and peculiar people! It's ok to stand out and be different, but stand firm! I love y'all! Have a great week :)
Love,
Sister Evans
