June 22, 2015

Greetings!

Wow...thank you everyone for your kindness and thoughtfulness. You are the best! Sounds like everyone is well!!! Redfish is a pretty hard place not to just be happy 24-7 --- 365! :)

This week was so great! Lots and lots of rain..it was a struggle staying dry this week but I counted it as one of God's Grace! I love the water! :) We have been so busy this week...Sister Tua and I were sitting in Relief Society this week and both were nodding our heads trying to stay awake...once we realized what we were doing we were dying laughing. This week has been a hopping, busy week! :) But, we are so grateful for people to teach and see!!It is rainy and humid but we are so happy!!

Peep update..
Oh man oh man....So, on Thursday we went and saw Patricia and William and they have come to church 3 times and they are being so stubborn about committing to a baptismal date. However the Lord soften their hearts so much this week, Patricia said she has never felt better in her entire life and how happy she was with her relationship with Heavenly Father, with her testimony and her prayers. She finally broke loose and said she would like to get baptized and William too! They are so sweet and humble! :)  Here they are in there 70's and striving to follow their Savior. They are working towards July 25th. The ward absolutely loves them! I don't blame them at all! :)

Oh my gosh......DOUG!!!!! Doug went over the "hump"  He received so many answers this week and we had so many powerful lessons this week with him!! He has committed to be baptized this Saturday and we are so excited! Sister Tua  and I were walking home from his appointment and we were just smiling and sooooo happy...(no one can explain the way those moments feel, but they are something compared to Heaven!!! We walked into our apartment and starting screaming and jumping around every where. In the words of Doug himself..."I made you work for it, didn't I?"  Yes... what a great day! :)

We found the most solid family in the entire world this week! Single mother...and 5 kids...they all came to church this week and oh my word, they have my whole heart. I love them dearly! Pray for the Dennis family. God is blessing us so very much, We don't deserve any of it, but I will strive to be a vessel. I tell you what...if anything has prepared me more for my mission ...specifically church..it would be waiting tables at Redfish!! (no lie!) Church is insanely busy but a happy busy and 500 million people need you and the gospel!!  Its just like waiting tables when it is busy...you smile and act like you are calm, and inside you are about to freak out! Right?

Man, my testimony has truly grown this week, in a lot of ways. God lives. God loves us. I know that He is in the details and that through the Saviors Atonement we are given ultimate hope. I know how powerful love is. I now know that God's love is the most important thing we can spread. His love provides hope, peace, joy, second chances, knowledge, strength, and life the way God intended it to be. 1 Peter 4:8 Charity is what is the most powerful. I love my Heavenly Father. I know He loves us, I know improvement and progression is possible because of love... more importantly His love.
I LOVE YOU! Thank you for your love. It is special to me! :) 
Have a great week! 
LOVE THE HECK OUT OF PEOPLE!
Love,


Sister Clegg
