This week has most definitely been a great week except it went by
super fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry about not having an email
update last week!!!!!!!!!! The internet was broken here at the library
so i couldnt send any emails, it was bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But we started the week off with tracting in some apartments on monday
night!!!!!!!!!!! Every time i ride my bike past these apartments I
always get this feeling from the spirit that there is someone in there
ready to learn about the gospel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we
decided to go tracting there monday night and when got to about the
tenth apartment we knocked on the door and this man came out and said
he works for security and he said he was going to issue us a ticket if
he sees us tracting there again!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so sad because I
know there is someone there ready to be found and satan is trying to
keep us out of there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on tuesday we had district
meeting and then that night we had dinner with the family in the
spanish ward again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its
fun talking with them because I have already learned SOOOO much
spanish from being here in texas!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sometimes secretly
want to be a spanish missionary but all the english missionaries will
kill me if i say that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on wednesday we got to
stop by Sister Beathard and share a message with her!!!!!!!!! She is a
lady in the second ward and she is so nice!!!!!!!!! She is just going
through a lot of health problems right now and she is kind of
old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always love to visit widows and to bring the
spirit into their home and sit by them at church, i always want to
make other people happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we
helped Sister Morenos sister move into their apartment
complex!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sister Moreno is a lady that has been taught by
missionaries for like 3 years now, she is the only non member in her
family!!!!!!!!!! I love her so much and I want to see her be
baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been praying for opportunites for her
to be interested in the church and I think her sister moving in is
going to help a lot!!!!!!!!!!!! Her and her twin sister who is a non
member also, was at church yesterday and it was so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After we finished moving her in we all went to chilis and had dinner
and then we went back out to tracting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On thursday we
got to meet with Marcus which was great and then we had dinner at
President Blakes house (the stake president of the carrollton stake)
and that was a ton of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then our
ward mission leader in the second ward took us out at night to visit
some people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then friday came around the
corner, the day i have been waiting for forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My
grandparents on my moms side were sealed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since
my grandma officially died a year ago we could do the work for
her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We met President and Sister Durrant at the temple
in the morning!!!!!!!!!!! Elder Taylor and Elder Nunez came too (the
missionaries in the spanish ward) I did the baptism for my grandpa and
Dianna (The durrants daughter) did the baptism for my
grandma!!!!!!!!!!! Then we did the confirmations and then we went over
to do the endowment!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did the endowment for my grandpa
and Sister Durrant did it for my grandma!!!!!!!!!!!! Then afterwards
we did the sealings!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that my grandma and grandpa
are now sealed and I am so thankful for the opportunity that we have
temples on earth to do this work!!!!!!!!!!!!! During the sealing when
I was holding Sister Durrants hand, I felt like I was holding my
grandmas hand!!!!!!!!!! I am never going to forget this
day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on saturday we tried to contact some
referrals!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then sunday came and it was fast
sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love fast and testimony meetings!!!!!!!!!! I
always love to hear peoples testimonies!!!!!!!!!! Everytime i teach I
always ask the person we are teaching to bear their testimony about
Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This week was most definitely a spiritual
and great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope all of you are
striving to be like Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have an
awesome week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
