Hey family,
How is everyone? Im doing good. Sister Gamble and I had a great week.
Wow, Barbara is doing quite well. She is amazing. We taught her on Wednesday and then invited her to come out to the Johnson Home for a tour. When she had come to conference she had mentioned how she had never been to the Johnson Home. Its right next door to the church building. Sister Gamble and I helped out Saturday morning with a bus tour. Later that afternoon, Barbara came! It was perfect. She seemed to really love it. Upstairs is the revelation room. That is were section 76 of the D&C was revealed! We had already taught the plan of salvation to her so as Elder Kleophfer was telling our group about the experience of the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon seeing the vision of the kingdoms of glory and of God and Christ, Barbara turned to us and said "wow i just got the chills" Ha Cool huh? These historical sites are really incredible. President Hinckley's dedicatory prayer for Kirtland is being fulfilled......I've even seen and felt it at kirtland and at the Johnson Home......
"May this area become a great gathering place for thy people from over the earth. May they come here...feel the power of thy holy spirit, and grow in faith and testimony concerning thy work and thy kingdom.....May it be a place where the stranger will be touched by thy spirit and come to know something of the wondrous workings of thy cause and kingdom...."
Im very grateful for this opportunity to serve here! We also had a pretty awesome experience on Chat. We chatted with a lady named Eileen. She had been watching something to do with politics and heard that Mitt Romney....(i think thats him....remember i dont really know anything thats going on in the "world") was a "mormon". So she got online to search and was sent to us! First thing she said when she got on was that she didnt know if this was the true faith but she needed help. She wanted to quite smoking and has tried everything, she had a book of mormon, prayed about it but felt she wasnt bright enough to read it! Turned out that Eileen had met missionaries about 20 years ago just once. She said she listened but was resistant to go any further. This lady was just looking for help. Now missionaries are going to call her! Pretty fabulous huh. This definitely is the Lords work. I know that people all over the world are being prepared to receive it! Its true.
well, i'll be seeing you very soon.......two weeks left. This has been the fastest transfer yet!
I love you family.
Have a great week!



Love,
Sister Houston
