Yesterday was the best day ever!!!! At church we have normally only have about three people there each week that we bring, well this week we had five non-members come and eight inactive members back to church!! Our member records are way out of date here. One of the members on the list had died two years ago and no one knew! Well the Lord has been leading us to find family after family after family that are members, or part of the family is, and haven't been to church in years. Many of these people no one knew were even here!
My favorite of all is Scott and his family. He left the church at 13 and lost his mom late last year. We found them one day at the doctors office when his wife Gracie asked "Are you the Mormons?" and from there we got all their contact information and quickly met Scott. Well as we got to know Scott, Gracie said "y'all should go meet my daughter she needs Jesus." Well we went over the next day and it was so true. Her daughter had been caught up in the heaviest drugs & everything else that entails for years! She and her husband were considering giving it all up, throwing in the ultimate white flag, the same day we showed up. Normally they'd run the missionaries off but this time they let us sit down. Well long story short: they moved in with her mom to get help and now the whole family is coming to church and happier every day we see them! We love them so much!! Last Friday we watched "Meet the Mormons" with them and had a pizza night, Amy said after "I didn't know the Mormon church had black people in it" We laughed so hard:)
Wanted to filled y'all in a little on our peeps down here and how the work is going. I just want to leave you all with my testimony that Jesus Christ is our Savior, and that He still lives today. His atonement is given to us to change our lives. To turn bad to good. Good to great. Great to the best!!! He is our brother and loves us infinitely! It doesn't have to be the most dramatic change like Jose and Amy but Christ will lift us and change us and purify us as much as we will allow Him to do so. So everyone have an amazing Easter and remember why:) I love you all so much!
