1 more to go!
This is a weird feeling, it hasn't hit yet but I know it is going to.
I will miss the mission a lot. I have learned a ton out here.
This week was great!
Paris, Maysa, and Aliah are getting baptized this week! (Matt and Amanda Webster's daughters)
Avery is getting baptized tomorrow (his baptism had to get delayed because of an ear infection)!!
The Hoffmans are driving up to the city today and we are going to go play disc golf with them!
It was pretty sweet Oklahoma got a shout out this past week from the Mormon channel!! it is "called after the storm".
What makes it even cooler is I know the family that was featured in it.
The family lives in the assistant's area and on exchanges I have been able to go to their home 2 times.
One time we gave her a blessing. That lady is probably one of the nicest ladies I have met on the mission.
Both times that I have gone over there she always asked how she could help. She would make sure that our food supply was always up. WATCH IT!https://www.mormonchannel.org/watch/series/mormon-messages/after-the-storm
The Oldenburg family is awesome. Sister Oldenburg is going through a divorce right now and has 2 kids Macey and Jacob.
They are 11 and 10 years old. They are amazing. We have been teaching them for awhile.
Well they are at the point where they are ready to be baptized! The only problem is that their dad is anti-mormom.
So this past week we went over to their home and shared the Mormon message dare to stand alone by President Monson.
After we asked "what do you need to stand for?" The first thing that they said was, "Being Mormon!!"
We then talked about how they will have to get permission from their dad to get baptized and we handed them the baptismal parental permission sheet. You could see how right away there faces dimmed. They knew that their father had no desire for them to be baptized and probably wouldn't allow it. Then Macey said "all we need is faith" and right after she said that you could see that they had no fear in asking their dad for permission. It was amazing to see how pure their faith was.
We are going to see them on wendsday so we will see how it went.
It was cool to see a 10 year old "doubt [her] doubts before [she] doubted [her] faith"
WELL I WILL SEE YALL SOON!
