Hey y'all!! Hope your week has been amazing! 14 days until Christmas!!
It has been a very busy week as usual! Tuesday night we got to meet with the Moore family again in Memphis. Jalene, Adrianna, and Sabel have accepted the invitation to be baptized February 10th!!!!!!!! It was so amazing!!! They weren't able to come to church this Sunday but they are planning on being there next week!!
Wednesday morning we went to the First Baptist Bible Study that was really good. After that, we went to the museum and helped decorate Christmas trees.
Thursday we did a lot of service. We delivered meals on wheels, helped at the nursing home, and we went to New 4 U (a thrift store here). Shayla (a member here) came with us to our service this week and it was super fun! We love her! Funny story, I actually graduated with her brother haha! Small world! Thursday we also had to turn Bill over to the Lord (drop him) :( he is definitely going through the pride cycle. He said that God didn't help him get the job (although just a few days earlier he was praying and thanking God for helping him to find it...) He doesn't want to put God first so unfortunately he isn't progressing. It was definitely sad but it felt right.
Thursday night was awesome though! We were able to go to Memphis again and we taught the Moore family again and had dinner with the Jaussi's and then went to teach Adam again! He finally let us inside his house! Good thing because it was like 20 degrees! He said a prayer out loud this week! Baby steps!! ADAM CAME TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!! It was amazing!! It is really hard for him since he works 7 days a week on the ranch but he was able to get the day off!!! He had such a great experience and it seemed like all the lessons and talks were focused on the concerns he had so it was amazing!
Friday we went to New 4 U again with Shayla and we got the opportunity to pick out Christmas presents for the Moore family who is struggling this year. It was such a neat experience! This morning we worked on cleaning the toys and washing the clothes!
Saturday night we went to a Catholic church service. It was interesting. My testimony was definitely strengthened as we went to our church the next morning and I was able to see and feel the difference! Sunday we had Adam and the Pierce family at church!! The Pierce family is a referral from a member. They are so so so prepared!!! The sad part is that they are going to be moving pretty soon :( The member invited us out to lunch with them and the Pierce family after church out in Quanah and we were able to teach them the Plan of Salvation and they said that it all just made sense! It was so neat!!
I hope y'all are having a great week and finding lots of ways to #lighttheworld!!
READ AND PRAY EVERYDAY!!
