Hey Everybody!
Last week was a really good week! Before i got transferred on
wednesday, we had a family home evening lesson with the McCoy Family. To
start off the family home evening we sang i am a child of God. the mom
was the only one that new it because she is the only member in the
family so we gave them our hymn books to use. Before we started singing
the whole family sat on the floor, sitting on each others laps
reverently singing i am a child a God. i know this sounds really lame
but this was honestly one of the coolest experiences i have had so far.
Before we started teaching the McCoy family, the kids would run around
like crazy and no matter what we could not get them to sit down or
anything. now there is so much peace and love in the home and now they
know that they are truely a child of God and i am very grateful that i
got to be a part of helping their family come closer together because of
the gospel. Brandy McCoy and Chance McCoy are getting baptized next
week and i am so excited for them. Last week when we talked to Chance
about baptism he said to us " i just can't wait for February 15th" he is
so excited for his baptism day! it was the sweetest thing ever!
I was pretty sad about being transferred because i loved my old
area so much but my new area Moxee and terres heights seems pretty
awesome so far! we have a couple of great investigators, one of which
named Eric is getting baptized this saturday! he is really cool, he just
got married a couple weeks ago to his now wife. She Knows the Gospel is true and she wants to get baptized but she is
scared of the water. so we are hoping in a couple weeks we can help her
overcome her fear and have her husband baptize her! :) we are also
teaching this guy named ? who is almost seven feet tall and probably
around 500 pounds and he has a ton of back pain, feet pain, leg pain,
and alot of other pain. Last week we had a lesson with him and a couple
of priesthood holders in our ward came with us and gave him a priesthood
blessing. And oh WOW the priesthood is such an amazing thing! After the
blessing he was crying and the spirit was so strong and it touched his
heart! he said also in previous lessons that he was having such a hard
time feeling the spirit. But after the priesthood blessing, he felt and
recognized the feelings of the spirit. it was one of the best lessons
that i have had so far!
Everything is going really well here and i am loving the two wards
that i am serving in so far. the six hours of church is going to take
some time to get used to but i am sure it will be worth it!
i hope you all have the most wonderful week!
Love, Sister Lindmeir
