Give Said the Little Stream...Give oh Give Away
Hola! Como esta?
This week has been WONDERFUL! Hermana McKay and I love to sing in the car and our favorite song as of lately has been Give Said the Little Stream and it also fits perfectly because we have been giving a lot this week.
We have given.....
- loud laughs as the 5 year old son one of our investigators explained to us that "a date means you buy a girlfriend" or when he got so excited that Jesus is our brother
- big smiles as Grisel (the young woman in our branch who came out with us a couple weeks ago) got her mission call to Ventura, California and leaves in 3 weeks
-service to two of our less active families... who knew moving and cleaning bathrooms could bring such joy
- thanks to our Heavenly Father when we had an amazing lesson with our new investigator Carmen (fun fact: she is the owner of a yummy mexican restaurant)
- an awesome dinner message about seeing the hand of the Lord in our lives and we gave them a journal to write down the ways that they see the hand of the Lord in their life I also used my favorite scripture (thanks to Stuart) Ether 2:24-25.
- looks of amazement as we taught a lesson to our investigator Ilse on the importance of the Book of Mormon and I was answering her questions even though I did not understand them (love the gift of tongues)
- frustrating sounds as we taught Lino (our investigator with a baptismal date) and he told us that God told him to drink coffee so it would heal his stomach problems but then rejoiced when he understood what we were saying and committed to do what is right
-an hour of prayer which is great
- thanks for all of your prayers in our behalf
Well that sums up this week! It really has been great! I love this work so much and I love giving my whole self to it!
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers!
I love you all!

Hi Sister (Ruth) Andrews! I'm glad to hear that Hillary is doing so great :) I was getting ready to send out wedding announcements and wanted to send one to Hillary and one to your family. I was wondering if I could get your address and was checking that the address on the side is Hillary's current one. You can email me your address so you don't have to put it up here if you don't want. My email is hollym.heinz@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) Holly
