Hey hey y'all!
This week was a lot of ups and downs with our friends but it was
good stuff!
Here are the highlights:
• Sue is so so good. We love her to death! She has been reading
and studying so much and is progressing really well. We taught her about
temples and we set a date for her to go to the temple after her baptism! We are
so excited for her.
• Alida, our sweet girl is sadly not on date for baptism
anymore. Her mom decided it is best for her not to right now and it is
heartbreaking because Alida knows it's true and wants this.
• Robert is also doing really well! He got back from his
vacation and told us after praying, he wants his baptism to be Dec 21st! He
said he knows it is true and doesn't see a reason to wait. We got to teach him
in members homes several times this week which were wonderful and we even got
to watch the Christmas Devotional with him as well. He has really been studying
1 Nephi and always jokes that Laman and Lemuel wouldn't have bound him twice...
• The Christ Child video is still my favorite thing. I could
quote the whole movie to you in Aramaic and even sing the Psalm! We got special
instruction from Elder DeVries on Saturday that we needed to share the video
least 8-10 times between Saturday night and Monday night which proved to be a
challenge but we are managing! It has such a strong spirit and peace you feel
while watching, you could understand why we want us doing more.
Something that was mentioned in church yesterday struck me. The
speaker said "Every day, we are either forgetting or remembering the
Savior." What are YOU doing today to remember the Savior? Or will you go
about your normal day not giving Him a thought, forgetting about Him. I love
this scripture from Isaiah 49:15-16, "Can a woman forget her sucking
child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they
may forget, yet will I not forget the. Behold, I have graven thee upon the
palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." Christ could
never forget us and has a constant reminder of us upon the palms of his hands.
He suffered for us. He died for us. All because He loves us. Let us remember
Christ as He remembers us, not just during Christmas but at all times.
