So there is a lot of really good stuff going on here in the Valley! But I'm going to start off with the two highlights of the week!
So Saturday morning at 11am Johnny Way got baptized(: It was so good! My heart was just pounding right on through the whole thing! The spirit was so strong and the speakers were great! And Johnny just looked so happy! I don't even really know how to explain it. It is one of those "you had to be there" feelings haha. There were a lot of people there to support him and his family also came. Awesome miracle: so his mom got baptized when she was 15 years old and she has been less active for a while. He has a sister who is 22 years old and Brother Johnson (the 1st councilor in the branch presidency) was talking to them after and she just said "i want to get baptized". So he beelined over to us and we chatted with her and got her information and found out she lives outside our area so we sent her info to the elders over there. It was so great though! Sunday he was confirmed and got the Aaronic priesthood! He also got a temple recommend to go do baptisms for the dead at the temple on Wednesday! Sean is going to go as well. We are so excited to see how the gospel is changing these peoples lives and how they are just loving it!
I was also thinking last night about the Way family. They have two young children and we just found out that Mariana is pregnant. I was just pondering on how much of a blessing growing up in the church has been for me, and now this cute little family gets that blessing as well! It has been so much fun to watch(:
Saturday night Jeff and Shally got married! We are so excited for them as they make that step towards being baptized! The wedding was really pretty and they seemed so happy!
What more what more. I feel like so much goes on during the week but when i sit down to write it all leaves my mind haha.
Jordan is doing really well. He has been at church each week and he is just doing all he can to really feel the spirit and make good choices. We lent him a CD called "the work" and it's all about missionaries and conversion. It also has some EFY songs at the end. But he was just going on and on about how much he loves it! He sent us a text this morning just thanking us for all we have been doing to help him change his life. That really made me stop and think. Because he is our age. He is in the same time line as us. He has so much potential and he is just now starting to see that! I know the gospel has changed my life so much and I want it to be able to change everyone(: But for now we are taking it one person at a time(:
Well i hope everyone has a good week! love you all so much! Don't forget who you are!
Love,
