Marino continues to amaze us! We had a lesson this week and we read from Alma 36 with him and Maya and in this appointment Marino set a date for baptism! It isn't till May because of things he needs to overcome but I know this will truly bless his life! Then fast forward to Saturday when we called to make sure he knew it was stake conference. We followed up with his reading and Maya was next to him and talking to us as well about what they had read in the Book of Mormon! Then on Sunday stake conference started at 10 and they were late but we knew they were on their way. We get this text about 10:45 saying that they were there so we went out to grab them. We ended up running around the whole outside of the building and then saw them. During Stake Conference one of the speakers referenced to Alma 36 and the story and they both recognized that we had just read that with them this week! Then the Stake President issued an invitation to all who could hear his voice to invite someone to come to the special sacrament meeting on December 23rd. After we went and introduced them to President Brown since he is in our ward and they told him that they had someone in mind to invite to church on that day!! Wow the people amaze me!!
We had a cool experience with kicking off Light the World on Thursday. The missionaries in our building and district were able to invite their wards to come and start thinking of ideas on how to participate in each week of December. We had an Open House at the church building and a room dedicated to each week of the initiative. In each room we had an activity and the video for that week playing on a TV. So now what are each of you going to do to Light the World this Christmas season?
One of the days this week we had a funny experience. We went to Verboort which is a little town that we cover and it is predominatly Catholic. So much so that there is one block in it and it goes all the way around the Catholic School and the Church building. Well as soon as we parked our car and about to get out to walk it started pouring!! I mean the heavens pretty much opened the rain flood. But we still got out and walked and it was really windy as well. It was fun!
I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!!
