This week we had a lot of luck with less active families. There is a family that we have been working with that has a daughter that also lives in the ward boundaries. She hasn't been very responsive to the
ward for a very long time. We dropped by on Saturday in the morning and just talked to her on her porch. But the end of the visit she invited us back to cook with her and said, "you guys made my day!" So
that was really cool.
"A" received the priesthood yesterday! We got to sit in on the blessing. I had never done that before. It was so neat. I gave him a little Spanish hymn book with my testimony in it. I told them I would see them in a year in the temple for their sealing and as we were leaving he said, "nos vemos en un año!" :)
Yesterday the bishop gave the ward a challenge to read a chapter a day of 3rd Nephi. There are 30 chapters and 30 days in November. I'm a day late in telling you but you can still catch up. I know that we will all grow closer to our Master before the Christmas season. We will know Him so much better and more fully participate in the blessings of the sacrament. My favorite verse in all scripture is 3 Nephi 11:14.
Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the
God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
Come unto the Savior and let Him heal you. Get to know him better. Use His atonement to overcome you trials and burdens.
Con amor, Hermana Jorgensen
