The "looking" Sisters are moving forward with more determination than ever!

Missionary Game Night - Every other week we are having a missionary activity for people to feel comfortable in bringing their friends to. We are trying to create more "hangout" situations so that the members don't feel so awkward in inviting their friends. This week was a game night and we had a nonmember there for the first time! Success! Next week Friday we are having a huge bonfire and playing night games! We are hoping that a lot of people will come to this one.

Christian Crusaders for Christ- We found out about a group of Christian students who meet on LoneStar Community College and have a testimony and spiritual thought each week. This week we went to go and check it out and it was awesome! We got 5 numbers for people that we can invite to our activities and slowly talk to them about the church. It was a little different for me since I haven't been to any other church services, with all the "Uh-Huh's" and "Amens" in the crowd. Some of the testimonies were slightly outlandish...One of the girls was talking about how she saw Jesus in a Forest and there was lightning shooting out of his fingers. He was glorious. Which he is! And hey if you had that experience then more power to you. :) We are hoping that one of these weeks we will be allowed to go up and share our testimonies. But first we need to build trust in the group. 

- Afterwards I was talking to this one guy and he said that sometimes he goes through the day forgetting about Jesus. So he looks next to him and says, "Are you there Jesus? Ok You're still there." I held in a slight chuckle. It was great but they express their love for Jesus in a different way than we do. I love it though. Keep up the faith!

Investigator/ Member Updates-

Julie- Still not responding to our texts and messages. We feel as if it is a prompting that we need to focus more on the less actives that we haven't had time to reach lately. We can't forget about those members that need to be uplifted and brought back to church! Please continue to pray for her that she will re-recognize the spirit she felt when we met with her.

Brady- It was a miracle! We finally got to visit with him as we have been trying to get ahold of him for weeks now. He is super busy and works somewhere between 60-80 hours a week! We were wanting to meet with him because he has met with other missionaries and has expressed a desire to be baptized. We were nervous because we heard he was doing it to get closer to a girl in the ward who only dates Mormons. But after meeting with him he has a sincere desire to know if this is the right choice for him to be baptized. We extended a baptismal commitment and he said maybe because he wants to receive an answer if this is the right choice for him to be baptized. He is working on getting less hours so that he can have more time to meet with us and so he can attend church on Sundays. 

Stephanie- She told us that she has a desire to go to the temple and be sealed with her boyfriend who is not a member right now but she doesn't feel worthy. We had a great visit with her about Repentance and that it is never too late to come back. Sister King shared a great quote and she cried.

 "However late you think you are. However many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made or talkents you think you don't have, or however far from home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infiniate light of Christ's atonement shines." 

We really felt like we got through to her and asked her to pray each day for strength and forgiveness and guess what? She agreed! It was a miracle that it happened this fast. We thought it was going to take her a lot longer to get to this point. And she prayed for us at the end!

"Testimony is a point of departure, not the ultimate destination."

Love you all! I love this gospel! Love missionary work!

Isaiah 40:31- My new favorite scripture in the Bible! 

Finally got my pumpkin spice doughnuts!

We were on our way to a dinner appointment but Sister King insisted that we stop.

After scarfing them down, we felt sick to our stomachs.

We are getting along a little too well... 

Now we match without even talking about it!

Sister King finally got the Famous BlueBell Pumpkin Spice Pecan Ice cream!
