This was a great week!!! There are so many wonderful things happening and it gets me so excited for this white christmas we will be having :)
I know i don't talk a lot about our investigators, but this week, it will be all about them! :) First we have Ed Heindl. Brother Heindl has been prepared by the lord to receive the gospel. A couple months ago his wife passed away. She was a member, but wasn't very active. He never felt the need to go to church, he felt like organized religion was a waste of time. But when his wife died, he felt like something was missing in his life. He organized the funeral service through the church, and that was his first mistake ;) Everybody that was there was so nice to him, and would do whatever helped him. He was very pleased with the service, so he wanted to find out why Mormons were so nice and happy. He started investigating and figuring it out by himself. He would show up to church quietly, and would sneak out quietly. He was just watching. Members were talking with him and helping him still, fellowshipping, but when we went up to talk to him he said he was ok... Then one wonderful sunday, he came up to us and said that when we have some free time, we could come over. He is amazing, and we feel he will be baptized on the 28th of this month. Please please please keep him in your prayers, he needs this more than ever and it will help him out so much!
Bonnie is also somebody that we are preparing for baptism this month. She was a media referral and all she wanted was a bible. So we show up and when she answered the door, she defensively said "i already have my own church." So before the door was closed I hurry and said, "But we are here to give you your bible!" She opened it up a crack and said, "oh.. hold on." :) ever since then, she's been hooked!! She is amazing and so humble!!
Lanetta and Davianna are also close. they are amazing and have grown so much over the past month! I love them so much!!!
That is pretty much the solid people that are willing to grow the most :) Keep the prayers coming for them, and help us have a white christmas :)
I am so excited for Christmas!!! Thinking about how amazing it will be just gets me even more pumped! Because Christ is the center of everything we talk about, I have taken this December to study the Atonement and try to understand everything i can about it! There are so many things to study about it, and i'm excited to learn about it even more!
I love you all so so so much and i'm thankful for all the support!
Love,
Elder Bloxham
