Friends and Family :-)
I'm pretty sure I blinked and it was Monday again. This week, wow, it was so so good ☺️ There definitely was ups and downs but God is so good.
(I'll apologize now, I have a lot of media to send today)
I can't begin to explain how AMAZING C is. We taught him Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. He came to church all three hours yesterday. Participated throughout. Gave a closing prayer in Sunday school. On Tuesday Caccepted to be baptized April 15th. He is truly prepared by God.
Here are some quotes from his prayers the past week:
"I'm honored and blessed that the sisters approached me"
"I am ready to learn"
"I'm excited to go to church and learn more from you"
"I am grateful I was able to learn more about the Book of Mormon"
Here are some quotes from lessons:
*after first vision...before either of us can testify*
"So, it's like his father and brother appeared to him."
*after we explain Jesus Christ understands his pains and then taught part of Great apostasy*
"So during the time people probably didn't fully know that someone had felt their pain and been there for them...do you know what they did?"
*only been to church once*
"I could turn to pray and people in the church for support.."
Please pray for C. He needs the strength to live the word of wisdom.
This week Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve came to visit. He was accompanied by Elder Randall K. Bennett of the Seventy and Elder William R. Titera also of the Seventy. As we shook their hands, my eyes began to swell with tears of gratitude. These men are called of God. Sister Jackson, me, Sister Horvath, Sister Speakman, Elder Harward, Elder Mitchell, Elder Hansen, and Elder Walker had the opportunity to sing "Come Follow Me/Lord, I Would Follow Thee" medley. My heart is still full of gratitude to not only be able to share our talents with the whole mission but for an apostle of the Lord... what a unique opportunity that was. At the end of the meeting Elder Stevenson said, "I love you a blessing...as if my hands were on each of your heads..." and gave the most powerful and beautiful blessing that left us speechless. This is Gods work and this is the Saviors gospel.
This week it is Spring Break and since Saturday campus has been pretty dead...we will see how this week goes. But yesterday, that didn't get Sister Jackson and I down....so we decided we would sing to people on the good ole' streets of Columbus. Sister Jackson recorded some so we will send some vids. We are excited to do it some more this week
Friends and family, we were seeking spiritual truth before we ever came to this earth. When we lived with God, we desired to do righteous things. We desired to know spiritual truth. You were seeking spiritual truth then, I invite you to seek spiritual truth now. There is a spirit within you dying to be fed everyday with spiritual truth. Feed your spirit. I know as you do, you will receive the faith to overcome doubt, the strength to go through trials, and the power to resist temptation. Christ is the Savior and our Master. He lives. I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Until next Monday, thanks for all the love and support!
XOXO,
Sister Detamore
