"I Love to See the Temple"

Hello dear dear people.

 

I love the temple. I always get a little nervous just before I get there.... but everytime I feel peace. As Moroni 7 teaches, it persuades me to believe in Christ. So it is a fantastic thing and it is of God.

 

Nikki is praying about baptism on the 31st... which means we would have 2 baptisms that day.  But even if she doesn't, I know she'll be baptized soon. :)

 

Nikki will have her baptismal interview this weekend. it's happening! she's a sponge. i'm sure I've said that before. but it's true. she wants to show God her faith and it's such a pure and simple faith. She felt good about baptism so she's following through. it really can be that simple.

 

We're going to see Bruce tonight. He really likes shortbread, in case you didn't know. ;)

 

We're teaching a new investigator named Lachoya. I don't know her well enough to know what's motivating her to take the lessons.... but she wants to be baptized. It'll be interesting to see what unfolds in the next month. 

 

Bishop has asked that some of the less active members we've been working with be handed off to ward missionaries. It honestly feels like I'm handing my baby over to someone that doesn't know anything about them. I know it's inspired, and I'll trust it. It's going to change the work that we do dramatically. we're going to have at least 5 more hours a week to focus on investigators.... that we don't have yet. If you have any ideas for finding people to teach, I would LOVE to hear them.

 

love,
