Dear Family and Friends,
So, I finally got you all updated on the last few weeks, except for this week. Darny darn.
This week was amazing! obviously, the most unique experience we had this week was Thanksgiving. In the morning on Thanksgiving we went and had a Turkey Bowl at the church. It was great fun and I only injured one person! Haha my head collided with Brother Jacksons chin, but he is fine and so am I:) For the rest of the day we ate food, from the Sangsters to the Brogans and wrapping it up at the Chapmans. It was a most excellent day full of food, laughter, food, games, food and A LOT MORE FOOD. And I just couldn't stop eating. I'm going to start gaining wait again. #WorthIt
Sunday was our golden day when it comes to proselyting. We have begun to share the new Light the World video that the church has put out on Mormon.org. People LOVE this video and they LOVE the Light the World initiative. People are feeling like we live in dark times, because we DO! This world needs more love, more joy, and more light! We had three lessons back to back to back all in an hours time and they were each so excited and inviting. We will be going back to each of them. It was amazing.
Later that night we had another lesson with Fred and Cara Jessop. The lesson was going to be about commandments but the spirit directed us a completely different direction. We talked about faith the whole time and invited them to take a step of faith by setting a goal for baptism. This has been our focus for quite a while because they need to take a step of faith before they are going to get their answer. They have expressed a desire to receive a solid answer before moving toward baptism. It was an incredible lesson and they left with a desire to set a goal for baptism which they will tell us next time!
We also met with Jacey Gordon again. Jacey is basically ready for baptism! She believes everything we have taught but is just working on gaining a testimony of the Book of Mormon. Most of our lesson was about receiving revelation and how to know what is true and what is not. I just want to add my testimony of member missionary work to this. Jacey would not be where she is today if it were not for member missionary work. Her parents think the church is super weird and they tease her constantly. It is the support of the Criddle family that has brought her this far. Make sure you are doing your missionary work!!
Love,
Elder Thomas
