May 23, 2016- Faith= Miracles!!!

Hey Everyone! This last week has been great! 

We started this week by finding 2 new investigators. We found Nicole by tracting. She is not religious but wants to grow closer to God. We went over there yesterday and taught her about the Restoration. She finds it very interesting. We invited her to pray and ask God if he is there and to know what we taught her is true. It was a great lesson. She really wants to find a church for her children to learn about Jesus Christ and grow in the faith.

We also were able to start teaching Mary-Tim Bruton's mom. We went over there and talked about the Restoration. She had some questions but we were able to answer them. We showed the Restoration Video and they really liked it. She told us that she could see her self joining the church and being baptized. We are excited to put her on date for baptism. 

Tim Bruton-RC is doing great. He is helping us teach his mom the lessons. It is great. He bore his testimony of the church being true and how he knows that it is the only true church. It was amazing to hear him testify. 

This week we also went and saw Robyn Ames. She is doing good. She is reading and praying. We talked about the talk from Conference called" The Healing Ointment of Forgiveness." This was a great talk for her. She talked to us about how it is hard to forgive herself for the things she has done. We talked about how we need to rely on the Lord and he will help us. 

Then we met with Sister Delossantos-LA. She is having a hard time right know but we talked to her about Patriarchal blessings. This lesson was different then when we discussed it before. The member we had with us bore a strong testimony of receiving a blessing and how it can help her in her life. She is meeting with the Bishop this week to set up a date to receive one. 

I am doing great! I am loving the Weather and love finding God children and teaching them the Gospel. In studies I have been reading in the Preach my Gospel. I am learning about Christlike Attributes. I am studying Hope . I have learned so much about it and how faith plays a role in it. I have learned to have hope for things and faith that God does provide. I have seen it again and again on my mission. 

This week we also celebrated Sister Estioko's 1 Year mark! It was great! We had Pizza and Sparkling Cider. 

Well I hope you all have a great week!

Love Sister Alisha Carol Betts
