Well, Im not sure what is going on, but Heavenly Father is blessing us so much. We are keeping a flow of new investigators coming in, but also still have many of our old ones. We are racing from appointment to appointment, when we get home we are both so tired mentally, physically, and spiritually.
ha, Saturday night we were having issues trying to speak english while planning. We had 18 investigators at church yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Church started off with only a couple, which is the norm for the mission, the average companionship has about 1-2 investigators at church each week. but then right as the meeting started they just kept coming in. It was fun, but hectic as well trying to help them all sit by members or getting members to sit by them, while trying to be quite as the meeting was going. Luckily on saturday the spirit whispered to me so awesome. i dont know how or why Heavenly Father is blessing us so much, but He truly is pouring them out. We are finally getting investigators that are close to baptism, it takes quite awhile here because they have no background in any of this. Ive never had investigators that have had problems with question number four, but so far 3 of the 4 who we were hoping to be baptized by the end of the month have or have had issues with the question, the one on any serious crimes, homosexual relationships, or abortion. Im not exactly sure what to do for them, i asked president today in my email/letter what to do, im sure he will have good advice, he always does. He is an amazing president, i am so lucky to be able to serve with him and learn from him. he has done so much for me.
our investigator Gang called me last week almost in tears, she had just got in a little arguement with her mom about going to church. her mom says she needs her and A's help instead of going to church. (gang is 17 and read the bom in a month, A is a 12 year old cousin who comes into town on the weekends- she just finished the bom- a month and a half...) we prayed and prayed and prayed and studied a prayed some more, and then moved some appts around and went out there. it worked out perfectly that her mom didnt have any customers and we were able to talk with her. then on saturday we went and served them to help them prepare for the sunday sales- they sell food outside a protestant church for when the services get over- sounds alittle funny right?? cant go to church because have to sell stuff outside another church on sunday? anyway, we worked it out so that they can at least go to sacrament meeting for now.
well, sorry, another short letter. i had the intent of writing more today but had a surpise mom and grandma that were emailing and are more fun to talk to back and forth with than writing an email.. :) i love you all so much. thank you for all that you do for me. i am so lucky. Life is so good. i love this gospel. it is 100% true.
love,
sister young
