July Showers Brings Miracles- July 18

Aloha!


So on bikes was fun and people do not know how to yield to a bike. But it was an adventure. We enjoyed the bike riding and the rain waited till we got the truck back. It was beautiful. All waxed and cleaned. Meet Bro. Anderson from CA and he took a picture of the Sisters with their truck to send to his son on his mission in Texas on his bike.


Tyler is getting baptized this week. Delaney made us dinner. It was her first company dinner. It was really good. She just got online and found a recipe of food that I could eat. Then at the end of the lesson Tyler asked if he could be baptized before the 30th because he wants certain people to be there. Yes! We were thrilled. So we are having a baptism this Friday so it does not conflict with the ward activity on Saturday. Everything is in place. During his run through of the interview questions he asked, "What makes you guys so awesome?" It is just an exciting time. He is excited and it should be a good spiritual experience for all.


Judy's lesson, John allowed us to play the Restoration DVD. I have never felt the Spirit more intense during that duration of the film as it was there. Judy fought it. She still has a lot of concerns that we just can't answer for her. It will only come through study, prayer, and personal revelation. Assured her that the answers will come just hold out. We made her a scripture chain about the questions she has. It's a chapter a day for a month. Sometimes its not as easy as we expect the answer to be.



Micheal's lesson was amazing. We did the combination of the commandments with an object lesson. He got it. The Spirit began teaching him during the lesson and he was telling us what he needed to do and how we could help him. He is finally in control of his conversion process. We discovered his hesitation for not wanting to chose a date. He doesn't want to leave his son behind by moving forward himself. He's praying about August 20th and has us calling him every morning to help wake him up so he can read his scriptures before work so the Spirit can help him overcome his smoking addiction. He was excited again and still is.


Friday we were suppose to go to Lone but I just felt uneasy about it. We finally decided not to go and the whole day just felt assured that we had made the right choice. The Spirit is such an amazing gift.


We got back in contact with Ann. That was a miracle. Sister Michael is doing her missionary work and we got to meet Gloria. She grew up with LDS friends and had her boys baptized into the Church but has never joined. She is now 71 and is thinking about baptism for herself. We have a follow up/lesson tomorrow. We are thrilled.


It seemed like the week was just escaping to fast but as we accounted last night we had 22 lessons. We are working hard and loving it.


Hope everyone is well and knows that I love them. Have a great week and look for how the Lord blesses you and thank Him. We have been truly blessed.


Love Sister Peck
