We did exchanges again this week! I was down in Yreka and they have
been experiencing really bad fires, so it was very smokey down there.
But we were able to hang out in Ashland for a little bit, but their
was a protest going on, so we didn't stay too long. Ashland. It's the
best. 😉
We had a lesson with Mike this week, he showed us another scripture
that he loves: Jacob 1:13. He said: "That's a lot of people!" We were
laughing pretty hard at that one! He wants to get a study notebook and
scripture markers to keep track of all the verses that he likes. We
have become good friends with him!
We had a lesson with Tina and Donald! They gave us brownies, so I
guess we got points for them! 😆 We taught them about God and about
faith. Donald has read three chapters from 1 Nephi and he is loving
it! Tina too, is developing a desire to read and both of them have
progressed so much. They are finding that their questions are being
answered and they are developing faith. Oh they are the best!
While I was in Yreka, Sister Peterson and Sister Viiga met with Ben.
Ben is the dad of Ruben and Enrique, the boys who had been on date for a
little bit, and we have been praying that Ben's heart would be
softened. He stopped the sisters as they were going to contact his
neighbor. He explained how he feels so unworthy when we are around.
The sisters explained the Atonement to him, and he expressed that he
wants to change his life. He wants to be better. He accepted to be
baptized on October 8th! We have a lesson later tonight with them, and
we are praying that it will go well.
For my thought today: Alma 32:27. These people we are blessed to meet
with, they have a desire. And that is the beginning of faith. And once
they start reading, once they start praying, the light of the gospel
will become clear to them. I am so blessed to be a missionary. I can
share this light with others, and in the process, I have seen how
truly bright it is. And I wish to share it with everyone.
