Hello hello! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and saw the Lord's hand in your life this week!
On Tuesday we met with this guy named Dan. We found him on Facebook and he asked if we could meet up in person so we did! We were able to teach him about the restoration and it was really cool because he seemed to really want a Book of Mormon and he has already texted about how he's excited to meet up tomorrow!
We also had a really cool lesson with Holly. Holly has been coming to church since like March, but in about July hit a wall and hasn't progressed since then. We weren't able to meet with her for the last few months but we finally were able to meet with her this week. We taught the gospel of Jesus Christ and just kind of had a spiritual discussion. After the prayer and everything we asked if she had any questions. She told us that she had a statement and that was that she wanted to get baptized on January 8th! It was super exciting because we know that she's been thinking about it for a long time, but we definitely didn't expect her to be ready so soon!
This week I read a lot of scriptures about how Jesus Christ is our example. When he was on the earth he always asked people to follow him and to do the things he did. And unlike any other leader, he always did what was right. And then I read Moroni 7:48 which says "...that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure." I know that if we follow Him we really can become more and more and more Christlike every day.
Have a great week!
