Wow what a week! This week has been so much fun and so
wonderful. I feel like the joy of Christ is just flowing though my veins. To
tell you the truth I might just have a heart attack for how full it feels right
now. I had the chance to go do something called an outgoing fireside where all
the missionaries that are going home get to bare their testimony about there
mission. It was wonderful and Sister Taulogo my first companion was one of the
missionaries that was going home and it just filled my heart to hear her bare
testimony of the great spirit she has felt.
We were able to go because
we brought a family that we are teaching with us. Well more like they brought
us :) but it was so great to watch their faces just light up as they listened
to the words of these great missionaries. They were crying the whole time. This
family is just great and if I could I would just move in with them and never
leave. You know how you meet someone and you just know that you were great
friends with them in the life before this well I have felt that way about this
family from the first day. It was so great to spend the whole night just
talking with them and feeling their love. It's really the neatest that
their son who in 12 has decided that he wants to go on a mission and just
dose everything he can to prepare himself. But the really cool part is that the
parents of the family where asking questions about WHEN they can serve a
mission and they aren't even members yet. IT WAS SO COOL.
Another
really cool thing happened that just made me cry. I got to see a family that I
got to teach in Morgan Hill. We were helping them get ready to go to the
temple. Which is one of the coolest things I have had the chance of doing on my
mission. Last night the mom and daughter of the family came up to me and said
"We have great news to tell you" at first I said "What?” but as
soon as it can out I knew to ask "WHEN?" This amazing family
will be getting sealed on the 11 of November. They will be making to best
choice that they could ever make. I'm so happy for them that just thinking of
them all dressed in white bring tears to my eyes and I know that this is why we
serve missions!
I also got to see three people
that I guess really love Nina Clymer and mam & pap Escobare, and many others.
I was so good to see them all there it reminded me of what it has going to
be like in heaven seeing all the people that you love and cherish coming up to
you one by one give you big hugs and never wanting to let them go. But in
heaven there is going to be so may more people that we have grown
with in this life.
So I will be staying here in
Livermore for another six weeks and I'm so glad that I get to stay here
with these people that I just love so much! I feel spoiled. I know that this
feeling I have in me right now is the spirit and this is truly what the
scriptures mean when they say "Men are that they might have joy" This
is pure joy and I know that everyone can have it and should and that is why I'm
here sharing the gospel with all! This is the greatest gift I have to give. I
love you all and I hope that you will always seek after these things.
