Hello everyone!
IT’S JULY?!?!?!? Everyone here is in the spirit for the holiday, constantly setting off firecrackers and fireworks. They are very loud, and sometimes scare us out of our minds while we are out tracting.
We had some unfortunate events this week, including Sister Turner shattering her phone and none of our friends coming to church! L
It’s okay, because we also saw miracles! We met some cool new people and hope to start teaching them! Lots of people are coming to FHE tonight, which is a bonfire at the beach! I went on exchanges with Hermana Nally this week, and had a cool experience. She was talking to an inactive member in Spanish, and I could understand pieces of the conversation here and there, but not too much, and I had no hope of responding. Instead, as I was listening to this man very intently, just trying to understand the conversation, I felt an overwhelming love for him. It was from Heavenly Father. I know he allowed me to see this man through his eyes. Then I felt a strong impression to talk to him about temples and ordinances. Just as I was going to ask Hermana Nally if she could convey this message to him, she asked him if he understood much English. He said, yes, a little, and then Hermana Nally suggested I share my testimony with him. I told him the impression I had to tell him, that the temple is the only place on earth where we can receive further ordinances by proper authority. I asked him if he remembered the feelings he felt when he went to the temple for the first time after his baptism, and when he was sealed to his family. He told us he remembered those days clearly and how happy he had been. The Spirit was so intense. It was an incredible thing to be a part of. I don’t know if he will work towards going back to the temple, but it strengthened my own testimony that the temple truly is the House of the Lord.
Next week is Greg’s baptism! Please pray for him! He is struggling with his addiction, but we know he can make his date this Saturday!
Love,
Sister Hadden
P.S. I’ll do my best to send pictures!
