Fam, Saturday was one of the best days of my mission! Danny and Olga were baptized and everything went perfectly! I cannot describe in words the happiness we felt that day! Ah, it was so perfect. They were just both so ready and so filled with excitement to be baptized! I have not seen that kind of happiness in Danny ever! It made my heart happy.
Then Sunday they received the Holy Ghost and it was so perfect. They are both so happy! Then monday we had a lesson with Danny and after our lesson he asked where we were headed to and we said another lesson and he siad, awesome, can I come now with you, since Im a member now?! haha and he siad it with a huge smile like he was just so excited to be a member! I can not explain the happiness in my heart when he asked us this! So he came with us. Our lesson ended up failing us which was pretty darn sad but it was still so neat to see his enthusiasm to share his testimony and help us! Then today we got a text saying feliz navidad and that he is available to come to a lesson with us tonight if we want! So so so so awesome!
ok real fast another thing.... this is part of my email to my president today....
"Merry Christmas President Jackson!
Thank you for the devotional last night! It was wonderful! That was so great to have the Bishop and Sister Whitchurch there! They are amazing. I worked close with both of them when I was in their ward and they are just the best.
We had Danny and Olga´s baptism on Saturday and it was one of the best days of my mission so far. There is nothing like seeing your investigators in white. I can only imagine what it will be like to see them in white in the temple one day. Danny is already helping us in lessons and has such a desire to do what is right.
Hermana Scheu and I received one of the best Christmas presents last night. On Friday we had a lesson with one of our investigators named Javier. His desire to follow Christ and do what Heavenly Father wants him to do is one of the most purest I have ever seen. He just wants so badly to do what is right but he is so confused on what is right. He feels like all churches are good and so he just doesnt know which one is the right one. So the lesson on Friday was SO good and we resolved so many of his doubts and the best is that he finally prayed to end the lesson. But, then that night we received a text that said, "no voy a seguir con ustedes, lo siento. gracias por todo." We were absolutely devastated and had no clue what happened and what to say back. We prayed and felt like we should let him sleep on it and we would call him in the morning. Well, long story short it that we called and he said he would be willing to meet with us one more time to explain what happened. We met him yesterday morning in Mcdonalds with a member and he told us that is pained him to send us that text but he is just so confused right now and just is overwhelmed and didnt know what to do. We testified a ton, read several scriptures and told him to pray that night to know if he should continue meeting with us. Well, we recieved a message from him last night when we got home from the devotional and he said "quiero seguir escuchandolas"! Hna Scheu and I literally jumped up and down with excitement! It was such a great Christmas present!"
Ahhh we said that that text was just a happy as anything else we got for Christmas! WE love Javier and are so excited that he is willing to keep meeting with us!
Ok I love you fam! I love you SOOO much! Thank you for everything! It was SO GREAT skyping with you! It was so wonderful to see your faces and hear your voices!
Les quiero muchisimo!
Con amor,
Hermana Heims
