This whole week was so full of goodness & happiness & loveliness & wonderfulness.
Sunday morning was THE day. DEBORAH was FINALLY going to come to church in person. Her FIRST time. She'd already canceled on us the past couple Sundays but not this time. We were ready & so was she. 10 am hit & there was no sign of her at church. We called her twice & it got sent straight to voice-mail.
No no no Deborah. Not today.
We SPRINTED ALL the way back home.
My hair scarf was blowing, my docs were melting, & Sister Gilmore's backpack wasn't even touching her back.
We would have beat zoom, the flash, and Usain bolt.
We LEAPT into our car & sped all the way to Deborah's. TIWI was screaming & a beautiful shade of red.
Check my speed???? You're right, I should be going faster.
We pulled up to find Deborah sitting in her car, in her driveway. We don't know how long she'd been there...too nervous to go.
We PUMPED this woman UP & then PERSONALLY escorted her to church! Better than a police escort if you ask me.
AND SHE MADE IT! TO The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!! The true church! The Church with the restored gospel!!
Snug as a bug in the pew by 10:30am.
Yes, church starts at 10??? What about it????
SATURDAY THOUGH!!!!!!!!! SATURDAY WAS A GOOD DAY.
Joseph was Baptized. This man is THE most pure man. And his Baptism was just as pure. It was the happiest day and he was so so so full of joy. He showed up an hour and a half early he was so excited.
He said it was a much better experience than when duck dynasty tried to DROWN him when they baptized him.........
Sister Gilmore turned TWENTY!!
Went to ULMs international food festival and got a glimpse into how NOT foreign my mission is. Not at all. Ate fufu for the first time!!! Praying for Brayden a little extra.
Also everyone on the college campus thinks we are nuns!!!
Fraulein Spangler??
Raindrops on roses & whiskers on kittens.
ALL I want, more than anything, is for you to watch this video.
Instant spirt & instant chills.
Jesus Christ lives! He is your Savior.
I love him with my whole heart and soul.
We passed out flyers: "come listen to us sing @ the pavilion" in an old folks community & we now have 5 avid fans!!!! Every Saturday at 1 catch Sister Gilmore and I BELTING our hearts out for the little grandmas and grandpas.
It was actually so fun and they BEGGED us to come back. One lady even said she will remember to wear her hearing aids JUST for us.
I told her she might want to leave those at home........
SING 4 OLD PEOPLE!!
PREFERABLY ABOUT JESUS!
