Joesph Huerta was
baptized on the 11th! the service was great. his son Danny came and said a few
words after others bore testimony(he's not a member). he said this year has
been hard for their family with his mom passing away and joesph getting cancer.
but, he says his dad is happy again, and he thanked everyone. he said he's been
too busy to get involved, "but it's only a matter of time" that was
such big progress for danny! Usually when we come over he will talk until
we are ready to start the lesson and then he leaves and goes to his room. but
he said he will meet with us next month. Also ha came to church for the
confirmation and stayed for fast a testimony meeting. the ward has been very
welcoming to them all. joesph was confirmed and he went up a bore his
testimony. :)
after church we went
to donna's (an investigator) and she received a blessing.
We had our second
lesson with a woman named chris. her member friend came to the lesson with us.
last time we sat in her living room. this week we planned on watching the
restoration dvd and we were planning on asking if we could sit in another room
with a tv. when we got there she walked us past the living room and saying it's
too hot in there and we were going to have our lesson in the family room. we
sat down on the couches and it was right in front of the tv. even little things
like that strengthen my faith and knowledge that god loves me and is in charge
of his own work.
I love how many
tender mercies god gives us. he truly has blessed us this week. we even gave a
book of Mormon to another security guard at a gated community.
we got to do
service for a lady we met at the post office. it was great because she lives in
our area in a development that is gated that we can't knock in, but because sis
arndt opened her mouth on a p-day we got to go help her un-pack. she moved from
Colorado and her good friend there is LDS. she has been to church before, we
told her about FHE and offered to teach her family one, she said yes but in
November. she believes god is important and wants her kids to learn about him.
we are going to hand deliver a trunk or treat invite to her this week
God will help us live
the gospel if we desire it. He will help us share the gospel if we desire
it.
"And it came to
pass that mas manyas were desirous, unto them it was granted according to their
desires." Alma 62-28
Joseph is a wonderful
example of righteous desires, he wants to repay the lord, or at least try to
offer him efforts of gratitude for all that he has been blessed with.
I know that as we live
in harmony with our understanding of the gospel, we are happy, we progress, we
are strengthened. I know god desires to bless us for our benefit. for our
ETERNAL benefit. Our souls are precious to Him.
Love you all,
Sister Snow
