Family and Friends,
How are you doing? This week has been quite the miracle of a week!
The Key: Part Member Families
So here in Hagerstown there's a branch and then about 30 minutes away there's a Spanish group in an English ward. And so the members in this stake are divided between the two.
So one of my first weeks in this area we called this one member and she picked up and told us that she has a 9 year old daughter who wasn't baptized and wanted to come back to church. But we saw that she was part of the Group instead of the branch, so we told the other missionaries about her and then didn't contact her for a little bit.
But this past week her name was in my mind a lot, so we decided to call her about and it turns out that she is going to move here to Hagerstown and so she was going to come to the Branch. And so this past Sunday she came to church with her Husband and 4 children!! And then we had a lesson with them right after church and oh my goodness. They are such beasts! The mom shared this crazy story about how her house burned down and the only thing that was saved was her Bible and Book of Mormon, because a piece of insulation fell from her roof and covered it. Like big time miracles!
And to finish the lesson off, we asked if anyone had any questions and the 17 year old son asked what he needed to do to be a missionary! Whoot whoot!
And so we left them with 3 Nefi 11 to read as a family. And we sent them a text last night, and they said that they had read almost all of it! Legends!
So we are súper excited for them to see how everything turns out!
