Baptismal dates and Rainstorms‏

HELLO HELLO :)

 

I love you SO MUCH!!

 

soooooo...... This week was STELLER.

 

First off, Thursday was nuts. Sis. Goodman and I woke up to our weather radio alarm thing going off at FOUR THIRTY in the AM with a TORNADO WARNING. It told us to go into an interior room w/o windows so, we took our blankies and went on into the closet and slept in their hahaha (come to find out later that we didnt have to do that... the elders made fun of us, oops, at least we were safe! ha). Then we had to stay inside ALL day because of all of these tornado warnings going on... So, we had a little "girls night". We ordered pizza and watched "The District" ha- missionary reality TV... doesnt get much better than that :) HA. I love Sister Goodman! 

Then yesterday we road our bikes and it was going all great, just about to start tracting... when all of the sudden out of no where comes a CRAZY rain storm... it DUMPS out here. It's awesome. anyways, so we are on our bikes and it starts thundering REAL loud (we all know how i feel about thunder...) and then lighting... and we arent supposed to be out when it's lightning here cause its suppa bad here... like Tampa is the #1 place in the nation of deaths by lightning... (comforting huh?) . SO we road our bikes in the POURING rain to a members house and dried off their- the Matthews (the one that reminds me of Gpa young). He made us hott apple cider and soup! he's the sweetest guy! then it was over and we were on our merry way!

 

Enough of the weather report, Lets get to the good stuff!! :)

 

sooooo Monday night we did lesson one with Ta'shanda (23) her daughter La'Niyah (6), Ta'shanda's cousins Unique (19) and Sameron (12). The lesson was out in a field and their was all this commotion and nonsense (her brother hit one of the cars in the driveway, dogs were barking) during the whole lesson, but as soon as we started telling the First Vision, everything was quiet, adn the Spirit was SO strong. All 3 girls committed to be baptized!! It was the happiest I've ever felt in my entire life! Sameron is on her way to Ohio today, to be w/ her dad for the summer, but wants to get baptized when she gets back. Both her and Ta'shanda came to church yesterday!!! IT WAS GLORIOUS... my first time having investigators at church!!! Oh, it was great! They loved it! Sam LOVED young womens!

 

then we taught them The Plan of Salvation last night... that's my favorite lesson! I love love love love Heavenly Father's plan, and I'm realizing what a blessing it is to be able to know it- and how important it is to share it w/ EVERYONE... imagine not knowing what we know about where we came from or where we were going. I LOVE THE PLAN OF SALVATION!!!

 

So yeah, basically this week was STELLAR. I love Sister Goodman. We have been working so hard. I know we will continue to find people to teach that are prepared as long as we keep doing what we're supposed to!  

 

I LOVE YOU AL SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!
