Dear
All,
How is everyone doing!? I've been doing great! I've been super tires these last few days, but I've felt like these last few days have been super awesome! Sadly though, we haven't been getting a lot of investigator lessons in. We have, however been making some progress with some Less Actives! Some not so much progress, but we have been feeling the Spirit super strongly with some, so we know it just comes down to their agency to choose on whether to act on these things or not.
One person I'd like to talk about today I think I have talked about before. His name is Bruce Winters and he is the father of Faith and Hope. He is the one who won't let his daughter get baptized. He is a member himself, but he is inactive and goes to a different church all together. Well in the past he has had a problem with missionaries and he disliked them very much. He's warmed up a whole lot to Elder Benson and me since then though. We've been meeting with him and his daughter Faith about twice a week. Sometimes it seems like he is just trying to stump us, but we do our best to keep the Spirit there and not "bash" because we know that will only drive the Spirit away and that will push him away from the church even more. But the last couple of times he's had less "stumping questions", which to me seems like he is making progress. He is very nice and feeds us at times too. I have faith that we can help him come closer to Christ, but that doesn't mean we can take away his agency. He's got to choose for himself. We're just bring the truth to him, it's his decision to act on it or not though.
Well I wanted to talk about more people, but I am running very low on time! Michael did come to church yesterday! That was awesome and we are working really hard with him to get him to stop smoking and drinking coffee. I hope all is well! I love you all and am so very grateful to have you all in my life! I am so blessed! The Lord blesses me every day, as I know he does all of us! I hope you all recognize His hand in everything as well, and I pray that I will never forget His hand is everything as well. The Lord loves each and every one of us more then we can ever comprehend! Never forget that!
With tender love and care,
