On Sunday we were driving and saw a little tiny old lady that always walks up and down the street everyday. Hermana Sumsion and I have wanted to talk to her forever so we stopped the car and creepily followed her..... So we thought she spoke Spanish, but ended up being Filipino. She only speaks a little bit of English so it was a little
hard to communicate. We ended up just talking about God's love for her and promised we would bring her a Book of Mormon in her language. I often feel a lot of love for the people we talk to and come into contact with, but this time it was even more. I felt a huge portion of God's love for this random woman I hadn't talked to before. She was so grateful and so humble and hung on to our every word. I love her.
Our investigators are doing well. We have a few really solid people that are getting baptized in the next coming weeks. I'm really excited about that. We are wanting to get more progressing (reading, coming to church, praying, etc.). To do that we have been working with the part member families in the ward. Our ward as a zone is to find or complete a family by the end of October. There is a member here that was baptized about 8 years ago and has been waiting since then for his wife to be baptized. She reads, comes to church, etc but for some reason won't be baptized. It's really hard for the Hermano because he knows how happy she will be. So we fasted with him on Sunday. I know that we will see a change in her soon and that she will want to follow on the covenant path.
We had the most beautiful lesson the other day with a new investigator. It was the kind of lesson every missionary dreams about. We taught this woman and her daughter about Christ establishing his church with the power and that with that power our families can be together forever (I hope it sounded better than that haha). Both of them immediately started crying and telling us they were so grateful that they finally found this knowledge. It was bomb.
On a side note our little friend from English class gave us eggs from his chickens this week. I thought of dad when that happened.
Another side note: one of the elders in our district asked me to trim his eyebrows. So I did.
Paz y bendiciones, Hermana Jorgensen
