Transfers are this Wednesday and i will be training a new
missionary in Driggs! I’m sooo excited! Elder Johnson is going to Blackfoot. I
know he will like it there.
I’m excited to train because it will keep me on my feet for the
remainder of my mission. Annnnddd there has been some awesome miracles here
this past week.
So last Sunday we met a young engaged couple, Alberto and
Kaitlyn at Sister Harlow’s home for a BBQ and first discussion (working smart
;) and it was awesomeee. Kaitlyn is 23 and has 2 sons from another dad
and Alberto is 19. Kaitlyn has such a strong faith in God and Alberto hasn’t
been very religious growing up. We taught them about Christ and the Book of
Mormon and they loved it. We took them
on a tour of the Stake Center 2 days later and showed them the font. They
happily accepted to be baptized on September 19th aaaannd also get married
before that! This was one of the biggest
miracles here in Driggs and i hope, hope, everything works out so that I’m here
for it all! So we get to plan a baptism and a small wedding! We’re gonna be busy! Its so exciting, the
both came from rough home lifes and want a fresh start with their little
family. They are soaking everything in and are lovin it! With the Harlow’s they
consider us family because they don’t have anyone else who cared about them,
with this short week we’ve seen them almost every day.
They had a huge trial the next day after the tour. Kaitlyn had a
miscarriage :( they were so sad. On their way home from the Doctor’s, Alberto
saw through a rainy stormy sky a sun beam and clouds shaped like an anchor and
a whale (the theme they were gonna use for the baby shower if it was a boy)
they saw that it was a sign of God’s love for them and their little son. We gave
them both blessings and taught them the plan of salvation. They were comforted knowing where their baby
was and excited to be able to raise him again. I shared with them about my dad
and my (i believe it’s a boy) little brother that didn’t make it with my mama.
They appreciated that and the night was filled with the Spirit.
I love teaching the plan of salvation, it’s my favorite lesson
to teach because it means so much to me.
On our way from Rexburg the other day we got caught in a hail
storm! It wass soooo crazy we couldn’t
see anything! Good thing we were with a
member. i thought it was sooooo
exciting!
Looking forward to transfers! I’m excited to finish strong!
We helped out at the 4H fair, there’s little Edie and Ruby
Barnes, we’ve been teaching their dad. Awesome family.
This week Elder Miskin who stayed with Elder Duano and i when i
was being trained got home from his mission and i got to see and hear his
homecoming talk. He’s from Driggs! so awesome!
and we went on a hike this morning with Mama Starkey!
