So as you know, we have been talking with Connie Owens, and we were talking a little bit to her son but that was it. We saw her daughter coming through the house and we talked to her a little bit as well but that was all we have talked with her. Her daughter's name is Connie as well.. confusing to us.. ahh but we say Monnie, as in mom connie, and then little Connie!
But one day we were at their house and little Connie came up to us (she is 17) and said how is your church? And we said, uhh haha we love it and it's awesome? i mean of course we'll say that because, i mean it's the true church!.. Ha-ha but she was like i really want to come to your church on Sunday .. and we were like uhh YES please come to church!! So we found her a ride and she came to church on Sunday It is crazy the tender mercies you receive while being completely obedient and giving yourself up to Heavenly Father! She loved church and she is coming to the young women's activity this Wednesday it's this iron chef thing where they are making food with a secret ingredient and me and Elder Elquist get to be the judges, it's going to be really fun :)
The other crazy thing that happend this week is we went over the Chris Young's house, a member, and he lives with his grandparents, his mom and step dad, and sister in this tiny house. it's kinda chaotic, but we were teaching him and we asked him if his grandma was a member or went to a different church? and he said no she doesn't go to any church and doesn't really have a belief in anything? So i asked her, i said Mary, would you be interested in us coming over on sundays and sharing a short message with you? (because she is home ridden because of her husband is sick and she cant leave him) and she said yeah i'd love that! So we went over and had a lesson plan which was teaching her the restoration. But when we got there we got to talking to her and we realized that she had no education in the gospel, or even her purpose of life! So we just made a new appointment with her on thursday and we gave her a plan of salvation pamphlet and told her to read it and write down any questions she had! and she really wanted a bible so we are going to bring it to her then too!! She is such a sweet old lady and she really is interested and wants to learn more!!
This was all because of our obedience and our hard work. We feel like if we are going to work this hard and be completely obedient that god will trust us with his children and will soften their hearts! Amazing things can happen!!!!
Love,
-Elder Bloxham
