Man this week was crazy!
We picked up our trainee and we just have been working so hard!
We have lots of studying to do though. We do 1 hour 12 week, 1 hour my plan, 1 hour of Spanish. plus our 2 hours of morning studies. That is 5 hours everyone. We try to split it up so we don't go crazy:)
But its amazing how each of our investigators have just been progressing so well!
One of our awesome investigators who referred himself to the missionaries came to church and he wants to get baptized the 29th of October! But he is so ready so we will probably move his date forward. But it is all in Gods timing:)
Priscilla's baptism was just so amazing. So emotional and the spirit was just so strong! Then in Sacrament meeting she was confirmed with the Holy Ghost. Wow. I just can't believe how blessed we were to get to see her baptized and help her prepare for that covenant that she made with our Heavenly Father. But it is only the beginning. She is preparing to go to the temple October 15th! We are so excited for her and then when her family gets sealed next year! Wow. Before Priscilla got baptized we had one last lesson and we talked about Why baptism is important. D&C 20:37 This scripture describes Priscilla so well:) She is the most humble person I know and so willing to do everything the Lord asks her too. Priscilla is now able to enter into the Presence of our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for her and her decision to be baptized. She is a huge example of being humble. Also patience. She has been waiting for 7 years for this opportunity!
We have a less active family who has been coming back to church and they are adorable! Their daughter who is 8 years old is preparing to be baptized as well. we are so excited! They are the cutest little Mexican family!
We are teaching English classes for our members and investigators who are trying to learn English. It is just the cutest thing. They are all the best and we have so much fun teaching that class!
Darvy is doing awesome! He has definitely been feeling y'all prayers so thank you so much! He went out of town and we were a little worried but now he is back and we are still teaching him. His family isn't a huge fan of us so we are just trying to figure out a way to meet them and show them that we aren't all that scary. They are the Baptists who have grown up with Anti-Mormon literature. So its been hard cracking that shell but we will keep praying and trying. Heavenly Father will prepare them for us:) Darvy has been trying to invite them to church and to come into the lessons. So little by little it will work!
I just love Dalhart! This work is absolutely amazing. Heavenly Father has shown us so many Miracles and I have been blessed with the best companions on the Planet! We get along so well:) We call ourselves, "Las Hermanitas Marvillosas!" Haha everyone comments on our awesome companionship. we have been blessed with an excellent Trainee! She came pre-trained! No joke. I am already learning so much from her. She is also a great teacher and just a great desire to be exactly obedient. What more could we ask for??
I just love you all and wish y'all success! Thank you so much for all the support y'all give me!!
Just remember,
"The only time He is disappointed with us is when we stop trying and don't give our best effort"
This is a very true statement. All Heavenly Father cares about is that we are at least trying to do our best. Don't give up! That is exactly what Satan wants you to do.
Love you all,
Hermana Russell
