It's been an interesting week! I would have to title this week, as I always said to my sister "Patience is a Virtue." Anyways, I want to share a story with you all now!!
So anyways, we've been working really hard with a super awesome brother. His name is Wilber and his whole family - wife and kids - are all members. But he is not a member. So we decided what we needed to do to be able to help him accept a baptismal date was have a Family Home Evening with him and the Elder's Quorum! We planned it all up and we got to his house on Saturday to take him to the church and he wasn't home. So we did all we could to find him and we couldn't find him. He finally answered his phone and told us that he would meet us at the church. So we got to the church and waited literally like an hour and he never got there. But after being patient, he finally came and we had an awesome lesson with him. I feel like we were able to soften his heart a little!!
We invited him to church on Sunday as well. We were waiting and waiting (this is were patience comes in) and finally after the Sacrament he and his whole family all walked in together. Goodness I sure do feel God's love for all of his children!! It was such an amazing feeling as we saw him walk in with his family. I think I was smiling for like 5 minutes straight!!
We also found two new people on the street - Bianco and Sayra. We taught them on Saturday for the first time. We invited them to church and they came!! It was so amazing!! I know that the Lord loves us and I know, as Elder Holland has said that if we are faithful members, the blessing WILL COME. Maybe not today or tomorrow or next week. Or maybe they won't even come in our lives on earth, but they WILL COME!! I love you all so much. Have an amazing week!!
