Another great week here in Yuma. Soooo many crazy things always happen here. Here are the updates!!
Our zone leader has a friend from the MTC that is actually from Yuma, and he's been teaching all of his friends from here up in his mission. We've been trying to get in touch with this elder, but he kinda always dodges us. But this week we earned his trust. We gave us the name of 6 of his friends that we could reach out to that want to learn more. WHAT?? And then he told us that he would give us a couple more over the weeks. But one of his friends goes by the name of Scooby. And Scooby works at Dunkin Donuts, and we decided to drive to the Dunkin Donuts that he works at (which was like 30 minutes away) and meet Scooby. We got there at 4:03.... and they closed at 4.... and they wouldn't let us in 😭 butdon'tt worry because we are smart, and decided to go through the drive thru!! And who was right there at the drive thru window?? SCOOBY!! We ended upgettingn his number and inviting him to FHE. Aaaaand we got free donuts!! Dunkin Donut miracles!!
We had zone conference this weekend and it was awesome. Zone conference is when our mission president comes down here and gives us some trainings, and also does interviews with us. During interviews, he sometimes hints what will happen to you the next transfer (which is next week.. eek). But he told me and my companions, that he has no idea what he will do with us. So be excited to hear what's going to he happening down here in Yuma!!
Now some updates on the people we are teaching...
Jordan is doing so good! We met with him twice this week and talked about baptism with him. He told us he wants to be baptized, but wants to know if the Book of Mormon is true first. Which honestly is 100% what he should do. He told us he wants to know everything before he gets baptized, and the member who is there with us says to him, "Jordan it will take you more than a lifetime to know everything." But Jordan was talking to us about his praying, and how sometimes he feels this warm sensation all over him and he feels the blood rush to his head. He told us he thought he tripping out because he was kneeling while praying. He thought he would have to pray while standing because he didnt know what was going on. But we told him what that feeling was. THE HOLY GHOST! And then we read this scripted with him from the Doctrine & Covenants 9:8 and it says,
"But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right." When Jordan read this, he literally couldn't believe it. So he is praying about being baptized now and if that really is the desire of his heart. Keep him in your prayers!!
We started teaching this new guy and he was a referral from the Hermanas down here. We gave him a tour of the church, and he is already reading the Book of Mormon. He seems super cool and were excited to teach him some more.
We went over to our members home for dinner the other night, the Titensors, and they had their grandson there. He seemed like a cool guy. But he hasn't been to church in a while, and opened up to us how he wants to strengthen his relationship with God and our Savior through prayer. We invited him to come to church the next day... AND HE DID! And the stake president was there, and he was talking about receiving revelation and strengthening our relationship with our Savior and God through prayer. Wow. God doesn't do random. Our friend is now wanting to come to church weekly, and wants to come to our FHE activities!! Yay!!
I love you all!!
