morgan 8.9.10

Wow, this week was a week of a lot of miracles!! Mostly with the family of Vanessa. So I believe I told you last week that we went to the Bishops house and he bore his testimony and the spirit was SO strong. Well after wards we gave everybody the invitation to pray as the bishop did and find out for themselves if it is true or not. Well, that night Vanessa did. She went into her kitchen and prayed. She prayed and prayed and even turned to the scriptures. She told us it was as she was praying when she felt an indescribable feeling come over her. She said she felt so good she didnt want to stop. I dont know how long she prayed but I am guessing by the story a couple hours. But now she knows without a doubt that Joseph Smith is a Prophet of God and The Book of Mormom is living proof of that . But, if that wasnt cool enough. Her fiancé Benoit (who after hearing the first lesson he simply said " I dont believe any of that") told her he believes in God now. He can see the difference that the gospel has already changed their lives. He told Vanessa that we are a "good church" and now he listens to the lessons and asks questions about it! I am so happy for them! They are getting married Nov. 20 and a week later she is getting baptized. We are hoping he is going to baptize her but we will see. haha. We just gotta keep praying for them. Oh mom, the blog for Vanessa is: *************** She makes some super cool stuff. She made me a scripture case yesterday, it is so cool!
Well as I said last week, transfers is this week. I think I am going to take off somewhere new. I kinda want to stay one more here but I will go where the Lord wants me to go.
As for our investigators with a date, Charles-Henri is still good. He is stopping with cigarettes and alcohol this week. It is still on for the 28th for him.
Jessy is lost, cant find her. We have another his name is Christian he is a super old investigator, he has been taught for the past 5 years but was just too prideful to be baptized. He has had some humbling experiences so now he is less prideful. Still not very humble though. His date is Sept. 11. YIKES!! haha.
This week we went to eat with our old ward mission leader and his family alot. He is so cool! He is Tahitian so he makes really good food too. It was so funny, so him and Elder Magnan raced. Elder Magnan got KILLED!! haha it was so funny! but then he said "Okay Elder Wimmer your turn". I beat him in a 100 meter dash by at least 10 sec. his little sister inlaw was making so much fun of him. So he took a rest and says "okay one more". haha I beat him even more the second time. It was so funny. They are so nice though. we got a call today before emails and they said "come down we have something for you." so we did and their whole car was filled with food. they said "take it!" haha I felt so bad but they made us. we have SO much food!! Its a good thing though because we have an extra companionship coming for the end of this week. I am so excited!! we are going to get so much work done!!
well thanks so much for all you do! I love you all!! Have fun in Leadville!! It sounds like a blast!!E. Wimmer
