September 2 Email



Hello Everybody! Thanks for all the emails. I feel loved. Incredible week....but first thanks for the package! We gave alot of the food to the skate park guys! Ha ha! Thanks for being so thoughtful....those orange chocolate ones are really good....It is still warm here....it rains alot more though...no big deal i like it. We really do get fed a ton here are members are soooo good to us! Our bishops daughter just left today for the mtc. She is going to be at the SLC temple square! We switched places! She is awesome and we will miss her.
I will send some more pictures soon. I dont have time to take very many. Wow dad! you are doing excellent at your calling! The stake is using your idea! thats awesome... Remember member work goes like this PLSI Pray Look Speak Invite! Its all you got to do! The precious stones are working really well...the member work is really picking up. I am glad that you and mom are doing so much missionary work! Awesome....Boys you can invite people too! Think and pray about one person at school that could hang out with you and your mormon frends and they all you have to do is invite them to an activity! Simple!!!!!Can you imagin if everyone did that!
Well Danielle and Steve sounds like you have been majorley blessed! Keep up the good work....dont just hang out with the members though always invite some of the non members....you are such great examples so shine your light! So Dawson homecoming eh? WOW you are soo funny. way too fool them! Did they get it on video? Cant wait to here about the dance! Andrew way to go on your eagle project you are awesome? HOw is cross country going? Do you like your teachers?
You know what? One of the reasons why the youth have problems up here is that there are no school activities...Teachers etc. dont want to volunteer their time and there are no particpants.....so sad. Its good to be involved. we still hit up the skate parks a couple times a week and we have been the answer to a couple of prayers there. Neat!
Oh yeah so i did not write yesterday because of Labor day! Sorry! But anyway oh yeah great news! Deanna has decided to be baptised on the 13th!!!!!!!!Amazing!!!!!! I cant express to you how happy I am! She is really enjoying planning her baptism and she want us and Sister Anderson to sing Amazing Grace with her after she gets dressed.....It has been so neat to see her whole journey.....We met with her last week and got her a blessing from the Korean Elders then we all bore testimony and the spirit was so strong i just knew i had to ask her right then! so she said yes! Sad thing is that she told her mum and she told her that we are a cult. she does not believe her but we have got to explain to her the opposision of the truth. Anyway God is helping her and she will make it! Please pray for her to be strong..... Reza has put his baptism off....we need to explain a few more things to him....he still believes its all true.... so pray for him too!
Now I will skip to the miracle we had this morning! So in my morning prayers i was really specific today! I prayed to find an investigator today...preferalbly a family and it would be nice if they didnt have to get a ride to church!....yes i was that specific....and guess what? we were sitting in the church teaching english when i see someone walk in....i went to greet her and she said she just moved down the street and was looking for christian church to go to! WOW! so i took her and her little son on a tour of the church! She loves our focus on families and the primary program....then i took her to the Joseph smith picture and did the first vision! The spirit was really strong! and she kept saying wow! i told her about the book of mormon and she asked for one! So she has been prepared. she is excited for church on Sunday....she has two children 6 and 8. they are Persian and very beautiful and kind!wow so be specific in your prayers the Lord wants to bless us! we are so excited to start teaching them! we are meeting many people! The Lord Loves us! Our prayers are answered!
Love,
Lindsey
