Miracles Never Cease

WOOT!! What an exciting week!! So, last week, after Sacrament Meeting, we got a text from someone name T______. Neither my companion or I knew who she was, but she asked if we were here in the Cougar Mountain Ward? We said "Yes" and we went and met her. It turns out that she met with missionaries 4 years ago and now she wants to be baptized. We met with her twice this week and in our first meeting, when we were inviting her to be baptized, we asked her if she would want to be baptized on August 2nd. and she said, "Let me look at my calendar" and she looked and it already said baptism in it!! Crazy!! And she is getting baptized this week!! This Saturday!!! She's super prepared and ready for this!!!

As we met with A________ this week, we finished talking about the Plan of Salvation and J____ (his fellowshiper who is awesome and funny) picked up the Celestial Kingdom cut out (from the visual) and boldly told him he wants Anton to be in the Celestial Kingdom with him. And so A______ is going to be baptized sometime in August. But the date isn't set yet. But it was kinda funny because J____ and the M_____ were talking about baptism with A______ at the end and they started joking around that after the baptism they would all go to a shooting range to celebrate. (A_____ used to be a part of the Navy, he loves guns and owns lots of guns and a lot of the people in the ward really enjoy guns too so it's like perfect)

Christmas Gift Idea

Well, this week has been good.  We met with A____ and had some amazing lessons.  He also came to church and the member missionary fireside on Sunday!!! He's super awesome. It's really funny, he keeps using 'interesting' to describe everything because it's so different than what he's used too. But he's doing just great!!

We also had a Zone Conference this week which was just so amazing.  I love Zone Conferences. So they gave us this paper with instructions on it for "Making your own Christmas Gift" Book of Mormon reading and marking plan.

1. Start tomorrow reading 3 1/2 pages per day from a new unmarked Book of Mormon
2. Using two different colors (such as red and blue):
Mark every scripture with one color where god or Jesus Christ is speaking
Mark Every scripture that describes Jesus Christ or god in the other color. (e.g. The goodness of God, justice of God, the love of Jesus Christ, the mercy of Jesus Christ etc)
3. by Christmas you will have a treasured lifetime gift in your marked Book of Mormon and a strengthened testimony of Jesus Christ.

I Started doing that and it's been so cool to highlight all those things about Christ.

Exchanges

So we went on exchanges this week. I went to Beaverlake and we had the member dinner with the Sansings!! It was really exciting.  Brother Sansing said that I couldn't say it was weird going back to my old area, so I'm not going to say it :)  Exchanges went good. We found a new investigator for them, so that was exciting. But, I also got eaten alive by bugs. But the bug bites are now disappearing.

So, after exchanges Sister Mcclain and I had a lesson with A______ and he wants to be baptized on Augest 2nd!! :D He even came to church!! We are super excited. He's super awesome. And yeah...that's about it for this week.

Small World

This week has been a fun week of TRACTING!!! woot! :D and everyone is on vacation so we become best friends with the door knockers! XP haha.

But we have a miracle. J____ C_____ is a part member family.  J_____ was a convert and went less active immediately and he came to church for his first time since he was 10 years old!!! His wife couldn't make it :( but A_____ showed up for the last 15 minutes of priesthood. He said he was in the area and had a feeling to stop by, so he did. And we have an appointment to meet with him this week!!! woot!!!

I also met Sister Fotheringham's sister-in-law at church.  That was really cool.

There's this spot on Cougar Mountain where you can see Seattle on your left and downtown Bellevue on your right. It's so cool. I'm going to take a picture of it :D  The Church is true and the Book is Blue!

This last week in Snoqualmie Falls, we did a lot of tracting and our investigator Margi has read to 2nd Nephi in the Book of Mormon and is loving it!! :D She also came to church. She's going to do awesome this transfer.
