Joy in the Journey- September 19, 2011

Hi everyone. Thanks for the influx of mail this last week. It made me happy.
We had a really good experience at the Youth Center here. Andrew, one of the teens talked with us. That's huge. Each time we go we make a little more head way. And Dave, hopefully one day will be interested, we stop by his place to establish trust and interest, was impressed we were there. A lot of community members have commented lately on our involvement in the community and they like it.

Hannah,8, impressed her mom of the information of the gospel she remembers form the Elders. =) It was awesome to see her understanding increase.

Ione- We are having a lot of success there. We have found ourselves in the hearts of the members there. They were pleasantly surprised to have us join them for their lecture on their lecture "Joy in the Journey". What was fun was being ready to share the gospel with the Dish guy at Brother Kough's. It was funny but oh that left an impression for Brother Kough. Kierra has really caught hold of the gospel. Chrissy left us a note that she was m.i.a. but sent us to Kierra's. She accepted us in. While going through the introduction to the Book of Mormon- she said I need to really pray about this for myself. Yeah. We just smiled. She also told us we don't have to ask to pray with her just do it. On Sunday, second lesson of the week, even though she'd been in the hospital she still read 1Nephi1! We saw a witness of her faith and willingness to see for herself. She also invited herself to Church. She's on. =)

Got invited by Sister Webster to Achievement Days which is now activity days. It was fun to be with the girls and share about our mission experiences with them.

John and Judy want to know. Eric brought Amanda to the lesson. Wow. She is coming back and the Spirit was so strong. Everyone but John got emotional. Judy is still unsure of different doctrinal difference but she knows she feels something good and gratefully the Elders sat with John Sunday and she went to Church. =) We still haven't found a permanent solution to the whole Sunday issue but it will come.

Had this feeling to go to Jennifer L.'s her boyfriends friend JJ was there and we had a discussion on religion and if God is there. I responded to his disbelief with questions. It was amazing the Spirit that was there as we engaged in conversation and sharing personal experiences. Jennifer was taken back that he had nothing to respond with a couple of times. We have a return apt. with him this week.

Finally got to see Michael again. We racked leaves and had breakfast with them. Found an article in the New Era about a lady who needed to give up smoking to be baptized and to know. He knows he needs to give it up but can't make that commitment yet. Prayers.

Saturday Stake Service at Clayton Fair Grounds. It was amazing. At least 200 plus people there. We painted and I got a flash back of Cheney. Daniel was there and I got to catch up with him and encourage him to go to Church.

All in all great week. We are excited for another week and teaching. Just have a good feeling. this week we have the truck inspection in Spokane at Zone Conference so we have made it spic and span because we want to win.

Hope all is well with everyone and now you're loved. This missionary experience is crazy but so worth it. It's true. The people we meet is not by chance it's all part of His divine Plan. This Gosepl is true and repentance is real.

Love Sister Peck
Spent a lot of time this week helping members create mormon.org profiles. Love it
