Thank you so much for your love and prayers. I can feel them. We need them out here! Things are going well. Lots of ups and downs but that is the nature of this work.
We had a rainy week here in Solvang, and at the end Connie was baptized and confirmed! It went so well. SO many people came. She is the sweetest lady ever. I hope you all get to meet her someday. She said she will visit me in Utah one day so I hope so!
Georgi's husband, Dennis agreed to take the lessons this week! We are so excited for them. During Connie's confirmation he was tearing up. When the spirit touches hearts, hearts are changed. So excited to see that happen for him!
We had Zone Conference this week and it was amazing as usual. Sis. Castro gave this wonderful talk about the first miracle Christ performed, turning water into wine (John 2). When He did that, he turned it into the best wine. Wine that would have taken 30 years for a man to make, he made in an instant. In the same way, Christ can work miracles in us. We can take years to overcome weaknesses and accomplish feats on our own, or we can come unto Christ and be perfected in Him, and He can change us to the best of wine in an instant. I have definitely seen this on my mission. Alone we can do so little, but I am amazed at what I can accomplish through Christ, who strengthens me.
I love this work. I know it's the work of the Lord because there's no way we could do all we do and be all we are if it wasn't. We almost lost one investigator and one returning member this week due to the influence of the adversary. He is cunning. I really got to see firsthand this week how he works. But we just have to recognize it, and not pay him heed. In these critical moments with these two different situations, the Lord filled our mouths with the right words to speak at the right moment, and that made all the difference. We have to be prepared at every instant. You never know when the Lord will need to use you. Always be ready!
