first of all yesterday we went over to dinner and it was at the Wrights house an American family, i figures tehy just wanted to feed us becasue they have a daughter on a mission. We love that family. So this child opens the door and Sister Wright was videos recording me, suddenly out pops Lindsey Walch!!!!! i could not belive my eyes!!!! i was so surprised and we hugged and nothing else was more importatnt than that hug that was filled with love! we both started to cry i missed her and i love her so much truly she brought with her the love from everyone in Santa Cruz, that love i felt was TOO STRONG i know it wasn't only the love she had for me and the love i had for her, but it was the love that she transferred to me from all my friends in Santa Cruz!!! or as Meredith Barton said " oceans of love" :) my body was on fire, it was more than just a burning in my bossom it was a burning in my whole body, thanks for the Trader Joe's treats Barton Family we will surely enjoy those over here!
we alsio made a silly video and i guess you all have permission to make fun of me. that is so fun all of you families should do these family music videos they are a blast! and then send them to me! :D
ok back to missionary life!
so we are teachign this ten year old boy named Ezra and his paretns are less active and he isn't a member yet. All we needed to do is go visit this family and be thier friend and encourage them to live the gospel. They know it is true they jsut stopped going becaue they got offended. Anyway after many years they are starting to come back to chruch!!! and their son is getting baptized!! we have to cutt all of our lessons in hald or in thirds becaue this boy needs us to tach it as simply as possible and make it as fun and applicable to him as we can, and i love that . we taught himt the AbC's of repentance A admit B be sorry C confess D dont do it again E evaluate and see how you can make it better next time F Forgivness!! that is the pattern that we should live our lives and that will strengthen our families and make us happier!!!!
we are teaching this amazing women named Fatima, o i love her to death she has three beautiful little children and she is working so hard in living the gospel she finally cam to church this sunday and her kids loved primary! she got baptized at eight but stopped going at age 15 and got pregnant ans now she is 24 and she is so excited to learn more and more because she knows this is the way to raise a wonderful eternal family. The bummer is that her husband is a thug and likes to have parites, but we are doing all we can to motivate her to be a great example and hopefully her husband will come around. We are having FHE today with a great family in the ward and also with our other darling investigaator Estefani! i am so excited!!
we are having a lot more help from the members which is such a great thing, i hope you all are doing your part in letting the missionaries help you with your missionary work! offer them your homes so they may have family home evenings there with thier investigators, have your children invite thier non member friends come over for dinner or FHE and have those woderful islander missionaries to sing beautiful music. :)
love you all see ya i cant remenber much of what happened this week , next time ill bring my journal :) thanks for your love and prayers!
