The Best Day Ever- July 4, 2016

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!!

Hey Everyone, I hope you are all having a great 4th of July!

      

      This last week has been great. We have been doing a lot of finding. On Tuesday last week, we met our new Mission President. President and Sister Cleveland. They are great! They are truly sent and called by God. We also were able to meet with a couple of our potentials, we met with Kimberlee. we talked about how God has a plan for us and how we all need Christ in our lives. We will be meeting with her this next week. We also met Rodney, we talked to him about how God has blessed his life. It was a great lesson. We are seeing him today. Yesterday we met with a potential investigator named Amy. We talked with her about how we have living day prophets. She was very interested in learning and wanting to find out if President Manson is a true prophet.

       We have been also able to meet with our investigator Jesson. We have been teaching him slowly and he is really interested in learning more. We talked to him about how God is our loving Heavenly Father and how he loves us and cares about us. Jesson never really understood that God was like his father. It was great to help him understand it and then at the end of the lesson, we each took a turn to show him how to pray. As he was praying the spirit was so strong. When he was done, he had such a glow to him, he felt the spirit.  

      We also met with one of our Less Actives, Sister Delossantos. We have been helping her with some quiet books for her children. He also talked with her about reteaching her the lessons, she is excited. She also wants us to start teaching her sister Susan, so that will be great. Other then that we have been doing a lot of finding to find new people to teach. 

     Now for those that are wondering about the title of this email, Best Day Ever, here is the Story. So on Friday we were doing our weekly planning and using our GPS to find new roads and places to go, well when we went to leave we tried to turn our GPS on and it was dead. We decided to take it to Mike Hayden a member in the ward who works on Computers to see if he could fix it. We we went there and there was nothing that he could do. It was dead. So we called the Mission Home and they have to order us one. So we will be waiting for a week and a half to get a new one. we will be going Old School with using a map. It is going to be a long week!!! On top of that we got lost in Linden. It was the BEST DAY EVER! Not. 

Well I hope you all have a great day and week!

Love you! Sister Alisha Carol Betts
