This past week has been a blast! Let me tell you a little more about it...
We met a lot of awesome people this week! First we met Rose and Moses, who have 4 kids and recently moved here from California. Rose was very interested in learning more about our religion, so we gave her a Book of Mormon and will hopefully be setting up a Chapel tour with her as well! She is super awesome and is really searching for the truth.. Aren't we all at some point in our lives?
Another person we met was Josh. Before I came into this area, Sister Black and her last companion had talked to him, and he was definitely not interested.. But very nice! A few days ago we knocked on his door,(not knowing it was him that lived there), and he told us that he's really been thinking about the LDS church. We gave him the phone number for his bishop! Pretty cool!
Probably the best part of this wee was Tayllor's baptism! It was incredible! I included some pictures of it below. Tayllor is the sweetest 18 year old girl I've ever met. Her parents aren't currently active in the church, and her two younger sisters aren't members. At her baptism the spirit was so strong and I really feel that she will be a great example to her family and bring them to Christ.
Her confirmation, or receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, was supposed to happen during Sacrament meeting the next day (Sunday), but there was a crazy power outage.. Just at the church! Luckily we were able to all meet at her house. Her entire family was there and the spirit so strongly testified to me, and I'm sure to everyone else, of the truth and value of what she was doing. I love that family!
On a lighter note.. We just found out that Mack Wilberg, director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir lives in our area! Isn't that cool? We are going to try to "accidentally" meet him one of these days.
Speaking of Conference... For those of you who saw, wasn't Women's Conference amazing? If you weren't able to see it I would highly recommend it. I loved President Uchtdorf's talk. He talked about not being a victim and not letting what other people say and do affect us and what we do! It's so true! We are in control of our own happiness! Never forget it.
Also.. Sister Black and I get to go to the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference! I'm beyond excited. Don't forget to watch it this upcoming Saturday and Sunday! We have a prophet called of God and apostles just like Jesus Christ had. It's so important that we listen to them! I love Conference, it's like Christmas for missionaries!
One last thing.. We had dinner with the Stake Patriarch yesterday, and he showed us a song he loved called, "Drop Kick Me Jesus Into the Goal Post of Life". It was pretty good actually haha. Look it up!
The gospel is true! I'm so grateful for it and the fact that we can always turn to our Heavenly Father for help and guidance. I love you all!
Love,
Sister Crofts
