Hola FAMILY!
What a great week! Closing weekend for Redfish! What a great
year it was! I am so glad! God answers prayers! Good luck Dad as you will be so
busy closing up, blowing out the water, and locking up that beautiful place! Get a few weekends up there all by yourself though will ya?
Holy Moly....I can not believe that Brennen is going to be 18
years old! I keep questioning how old I am...and try and convince myself he really
isn't going to be 18! Wow! Who gave you the right to have another Birthday?
Wow! I will be thinking of you and will be singing in the shower at the top of
my lungs a real special birthday song for you! :) 18??? Really?
Well..... What wonderful sessions of conference! We were able to
have 4 investigators come to conference. (Pat, Rob, Ed, and Dennis) We also
spent a couple sessions in members homes which is what it is all about! So many
good lessons are taught in the home!
Dad you asked for a little update on how everyone is
doing.....
Ed is doing really well! He texts us a countdown till his
baptism and is truly so so excited! Sister Evans and I are praying that we will
be able to stay to see more of these people go for a dunk...but I will go where
you want me to go dear Lord. (I just hope he wants me to stay here in
Mishawaka!)
Dennis is progressing every time we meet with him! He bore
his testimony this week of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. He just has not
put all the dots together to realize that THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS CHRIST'S CHURCH! We have told and taught him multiple times, but he has to gain a
personal testimony of it. We will continue to pray and work with him! I
Love him!
Pat...being a little stinker...she cancelled on us this week
again. I instantly called her and asked her what was going on. We had a little
"chat" over the phone and ended the conversation with another
appointment for today. So, please pray for us! (She teasingly called me a
persistent little brat!) haha! (You would have to know that it is just her
personality but, non the less....I thought it was hilarious!)
Rob...we extended a baptismal date to him for November 29th
and his response was..."of this year?" haha I laughed and said Yes!!...of this YEAR! He said he would and that we are brave for the challenge we
are about to face! haha!! I LOVE CHALLENGES! :) I love Rob!
There are lots more..but Dad..we only have so much time!
:)
Something I really learned over conference...or at least
gained a personal testimony of was the importance of family and how blessed I
am to have to the family that I do!! I was raised the way the prophets and
apostles ask us to raise families. I was given the ultimate gospel teachers and
examples in the walls of my very own home and how blessed I felt as I watched
conference!! I couldn't help but to get emotional when the Brother in the
Saturday morning session said the closing prayer and asked a blessing upon the
missionaries parents and grandparents. That touched me. How grateful I am for
my family who taught me what joy was... and the blessing of living the gospel!! I
am so thankful for my parents and grandparents who taught me the most important
things! How lucky am I? I much like Elder Bednar's talk explained...I am on my
mission for the exact same reason that little boy brought out the ointment
for all his friends...because I have been blessed, and I desire others to
feel of those same blessings! How thankful I will always be for my family and
for the chance I have to find families here in Indiana.
Well,.. I love you! Happy Birthday Brennen and Mackenzie! I Love
you ALL so much!
Love,
Sister Clegg the 3rd :)
