HiYa!
AAHHHHH!!!!!! EV HAD HER BABY!!!! (mom here: Ev is one of her best friends that just had her baby. She got married about a year ago and I sent her pictures) oh my goodness he is just about the most adorable thing AH! I am going to e-mail her and ask her why she hasn't written me! oh yeah... cuz she was having a baby... haha. anyway thanks so much for the pics I love them.
I've been writing in
my grateful book you sent me! C: It's been fun. and I've had an extra
amount of things to be grateful for this week! We've been meeting with
our deaf investigators, Lilly and Mark regularly. Lilly is so ready to
be baptized and was very sad that her baptism date wasn't until March
18th. We thought she would want to wait for her husband Mark to be ready
but she just cant wait any longer! She basically said that she wants to
bring others to the gospel but she can't be a disciple of Christ until
she's baptized. She is so cool!! Ah! She's awesome and Mark is awesome.
He just has a harder time understanding things since he doesn't have a
religious background. He hasn't been praying either but our last Lesson
we finally helped him understand who God is. That he has a body like us,
but that it's perfect and that He is the Father of our souls and He
wants us to talk to Him and etc. after that you could see a light bulb
go on and we're sure his praying will go better C:
Andrew
is Marks very good friend. He has his date set for March 25th a week
after Mark (Lilly's is on the 20th of Feb!) Andrew just loves! What we
teach him. He couldn't wait to learn about Joseph Smith and is
diligently reading the children's picture BOM we gave him. We taught
Andrew at lilly and marks house to help them remember what they had
learned before and Bishop Dewey a guy who went on a signing mission and
knows sign because his brother is deaf was able to be there with us in
person! He lives quite far away in Ayre and so usually we skype, but he
was in Edinburgh so he came over! He's awesome and has been just so
helpful. We have to give Lilly mark and andrew the children's BOM since
english isn't their first language. Usually people who sign have the
reading ability of that of a 4th grader. They just don't use words like
'review' or 'benefit'. they just say 'go over again' or 'it's good for
you' , if you see what I mean so a regular BOM doesn't really do it
because they wouldn't understand it. Anyway Andrew is great but his mum
has told him that the Mormons are bad and that we take peoples money so
he was very conflicted at church. We had a wee lesson with him though
and told him that no one in the church gets paid and that we're not out
to get people's money. He felt better after that and said he would tell
his mom and pray for himself to know if Joseph Smith was a prophet. He's
so cool!
They
are just about the most patient people ever! We are just not very good
at signing yet but they understand and say 'it's ok, you'll get better.
Step by step' haha they're fantastic!
We
also had a Zone Interview Training up in Dundee ( about an hr away). I
was awesome to be able to drive through the country and then be in a big
city. The building were beautiful! And it was a good time!
Anyway
I hope your week goes good and that those missionaries are grateful for
all you do for them mommy! Your the best! Your packages make me happy
C:
If you're looking for anything to study Mosiah ch4and 5 are really good! Kind Benjamin is awesome!
