Prepared People

I hope you had as great a week as we had. I don't know if that is possible !!
Tuesday we started teaching Sarah, 16 years old, she is the friend of the less active girl in our ward. She is wonderful; she doesn't have a big religious background, but she is seeking. She wants to know.She wants to draw closer to Christ and to have a closer relationship with her Heavenly Father. We knelt with her to pray and she offered the prayer. The spirit was son strong. It was a humble prayer...seriously I just love to hear someone pray that hasn't prayed much or has never prayed before. Her prayer was so simple and from the HEART.

Wednesday We we had a wonderful lesson with Jessica. We watched the movie,Touch of the Masters Hand", it puts the poem into real life. I gave her the letter that Uncle Stan wrote for her. She was very appreciative. We also read 2Nephi 4:15-35 with her. It is one of my favorite scripture passages, especially verses 34-35. Jessica said that she just needs to continue to put her trust in the Lord and press forward. She will be baptized August 20th.

Later that evening we taught Balen Love, fiance of Wendy Tinker, They are getting married August 6. Balen has such strong faith in Christ. He is a great guy and is very devoted to a life of service and following in our Savior's footsteps. ( We challenged him to read the Book of Mormon and find out for himself if it is true) he has complete faith that he will receive an answer to his prayers to know if the Book of Mormon is true.We invited him to be baptized on August 4th, 2 days before his wedding, and he accepted. Yea !!! We are very excited for the two of them. We had an awesome member with us who talked about the importance and the blessings of eternal marriage. He wants to have an eternal marriage.
