From June 23:
Hello, Hello! This week in the great
city of Mountain Home Elder Rosales (Brosales) and I shared the Gospel with a
bunch of people!!
We met Rachelle Kassner (18), a
young single mother and her friend, Frankie (16). We had an awesome
conversation about who our Heavenly Father is and why having a relationship
with Him is important. It was awesome to
see their thoughts about our Heavenly Father change from our short meeting.
With Rachelle being a new mother, her views on life have changed, new
responsibility brings new perspective.
We met Jack, a Vietnam and
Gulf War veteran who LOVES riding motorcycles and grew up in
Michigan. We talked a lot about the Restoration over an amazing dinner of
Lobster and Steak! :) He is kind of a crazy old guy, but he is searching for
the truth! At one point in the evening he grabbed my hand, looked me straight
in the eye and said, "Save me, man. I feel empty inside. Save me." I replied,
"I can't save you, Jack, but Christ can." I felt the spirit explode
out of me. We invited him to the read the Book of Mormon and PRAY about
it. We will see him again tomorrow.
More news; Thomas Wildman, the
Ex-marine is getting baptized July 15th by his father in law! He has an amazing
heart, is reading the Book of Mormon, and knows the church and the gospel are
true! Jennifer Sizemore finally got the courage to come to church this week! We
are having Family Home Evening with her and the Stuart family tonight. Slowly
but surely Jennifer is letting Christ into her heart :)
More and More amazing experiences
happen every week. My testimony of Jesus
Christ and His gospel is deepening. Today we are playing Volleyball with the
youth. Wish I could write more, but we
took a little too long cleaning our house today! Oops. See ya!
