Hello!!!
Well, my last transfer is here and guess where im going to serve.........
HIRAM!!! Wooohoooo
Im sure excited. I can't believe I will see you all in six weeks.....SIX WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, well how are you all??? Im doing great. We had a pretty good week. Sister Gamble the poor thing has had sinus problems since shes arrived and hasnt been feeling well. We stayed in for two days to rest. Heavenly Father blessed us. We had more lessons this week then we've had since we've been together!
Wednesday we had another lesson with Leroy. Man, what do i even say about Leroy. Its like a completely different person. The adversary is sure working on him!! We had our lesson at the church building so that his daughter Gabby could be apart of the Young Women/Young Men activity. While she was doing that Leroy, his three other kids (yes he also has a 5 year old son...Gabe), Sister Lewis (the member) and us of course went into the primary room to have the lesson. Oh my was it a rough lesson. Leroy was not very into it. It was like talking to a brick wall. I think it was a combination of things. He was tired from work and the kids were crazy. He was hesitant to come to church again too. Said he might. Well unfortunately he didnt show. We decided to head over after church to see if he was around. He pulled up right behind us when we were getting out of our car :) The stinky thing is that he went to another church with his kids. No good right. The great thing is that we are going to meet with him again this coming week. He's sincerely searching just don't recognize the answers.
Now....
Remember Barbara? We had lost contact with her for about a month after an amazing spiritual experience (made us sad), she got hit by a car just a few weeks ago, then called us again, had a priesthood blessing two sundays ago, met with us again this week and.....guess what.....she came to church Sunday!!!!!!! We had a great lesson with her on Thursday. She read the testimonies in the Book of Mormon and has soooo many questions about Joseph Smith. Barbara is a thinker thats for sure! But my does she feel the spirit! I don't think she recognizes it as her answer but she knows there is something good here. At church she was telling the Gospel Principle teacher that she's been to many churches and never seems to feel right in any.
There are people out there searching for truth! They just have no idea where to find it and how to find it. And when it comes they dont recognize it. The adversary is real!! But so is Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ. Makes me all the more grateful to be a part of this work. I know Heavenly Father is aware of Leroy and Barbara. The challenges they are facing are preparing there hearts to receive this message all in the Lords time. I've come to love these people!! Im grateful to help them know heavenly father and jesus christ love them! What a great work!!!
Well I better get going.
I love you family!!!!


LOVE,
Sister Houston
