TERESA WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED!!!!!!!! Agh she is incredible!!! We were talking with her and I thought "we should totally invite her to be baptized." But I didn't know if it was too soon!! And I'm a chicken scaredy cat!!
As we were starting to close up she said "can I ask y'all a question?" And then she just blurted out "how do I become baptized?! I want to be a part of THIS church family and make God proud." UMMMM HECK YES TERESA!!!! so so happy that she was able to listen to God's promptings when I was too scared! don't worry guys I'm getting better and working on being BOLD!!!! Just pray for me.
ANYWAY Teresa is so awesome and I'm so happy for her.
Heavenly Father really wanted Sister Reynolds to give a talk this week.
Or I'm just really good at rock paper scissors.
I think both.
Either way Sister Reynolds gave a FIRE talk this week while I sat nice and comfy in the congregation.
We invited over 500 people to church as a zone this week!!!
And 46 as a companionship!!
12 of our people said they would FOR SURE come!!! 1 person came :)
hahahah BUT it was still great and hopefully they will come next week?!?
I wish you guys could meet Kyla. She just SOAKS up the things we teach her and truly loves Jesus more than anything. We read Alma 26 with her and after EVERY verse she would share her favorite part and ask what our favorite part was. She described everything we said as "just perfect" and "absolutely wonderful." She is getting her work schedule changed so she can come to church with us!! WHOOP WHOOP
Straight up had a coughing attack sending a voice mail to Ricky. Gave him covid through phone.
We visited a member the other day.... a VERY old and VERY obese member......
she was terrifying.
Imagine someone yelling at you FOR AN HOUR and blaming you for slavery!! That's what she did to us :))) fun fun fun! Also her house was 1000 degrees so I was DRIPPING sweat! Hehe cute.
We called another elderly lady in our ward and she asked us to say a prayer with her! Sister Reynolds was in the MIDDLE of the prayer when this elderly lady just yells "oh that reminds me!!" And starts telling us an entire story.... in the middle of the prayer HA. SOLID story though.
At our weekly (always eventful) lunch with Brother Young and Brother Holt at their restaurant Daily Harvest... Brother Young TOOK OFF HIS SHOES AND SOCKS??????? and starting straight up cleaning his feet??? RIGHT NEXT TO ME. AND MY FOOD. Honestly it's not even the most shocking thing he's done.
Gotta love the people here.
Had an INCREDIBLE lesson with Anthony. He was active in the church as a teenager, but hasn't been to church in YEARS. I bore my HEART and SOUL to this man about the Book of Mormon and the PEACE and JOY it has brought me and will bring him if he takes the time to read it everyday. He agreed to read it everyday this week!! He said we reminded him of why he used to be active.
AND he asked for the church address and said he wanted to come and bring his family!!!
Did he come? Nope, but that's okay!!!!!
he also roasted us for eating pork and said we are possessed with the spirits that Jesus cast into pigs :)))
the only spirit in me is THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD HONEY
This week I studied a LOT about the plan of salvation, and I don't think I really realized just how INCREDIBLE God's plan is for us?!?! And He did it ALL because of how much He LOVES us!!!!!! He really made it so that we could be happy for ETERNITY!! I am SO SO excited to live with Heavenly Father AND Jesus again. Very very jealous of the people in 3rd Nephi who got to spend time with JESUS?!?! ALL I WANNA DO IS HUG HIM!!!!!! Is that too much to ask?!?! My goodness I just love Him more than anything.
ALSO I love Louisiana and the crazy people I get to talk to everyday. OVER A MONTH IN THE FIELD!!!!!! it's been so so good. Absolute 10/10.
SHEE YA GUYS
SISTER SPANGLER
