"Remember Faith is the Power, Obedience is the price, Love is the motive, the Spirit is the Key and Christ is the Reason." This is something we say after we recite our purpose. Its something our mission does.
I'm excited that the wedding plans are going well. I'm sure it is FUN! 'Come what may and love it!' mother. You'll only have two more weddings after this. :)
That's sad about James. Poor guy, but at the same time that's awesome that he walked to church. He's such a stud. You can tell him that.
Last week I felt like we were playing catch up because we were out of town due to exchanges, and then president interviews. I love president interviews, they are the greatest. He is such an inspired man and knows what to say to motivate you and cheer you up. We had an odd experience last Friday. We were volunteering at Salvation Army when a worker called us over and wanted to talk to us. I guess sister Luker reminded him of his baby sister, plus he saw our name tags and wanted to see what we were all about. We talked (he talked) for quite a while. He was talking about the Lord and how we must always put our trust in him and give him the glory. I was nodding my head in agreement and saying ya that's right...up until he started talking about how the lord uses him to heal people. That was kind of weird, but nothing new. We've met many people that say they have the power to lay their hands on people's heads/body and they will be healed....And then at the end of our discussion he had sister Luker and I clasp hands and then he placed his hand on ours and gave us a blessing. It took us both off guard. This was right in the middle of the store, so people are walking around us. Nice guy, harmless, just a little different. We received transfer calls Saturday night. I was ancy all weekend because our Zl's kept asking me what I wanted to do next transfer-how I felt about white washing, training etc. We got the call, and I am moving to St. Charles Missouri. So I'll be about 20-30 minutes from the mission home/mission office down town St. Louis, which will be awesome! I'm so excited. I'll be finishing up Sister Northcutt’s training, so that will be good. The only daunting task will be packing. I've accumulated so much stuff.
Yesterday Brother Birk, 2nd counselor in the Bishopric asked me to share my testimony. And that was really sweet. I think the biggest thing is that Cleo was at church yesterday and me leaving took her totally by surprise. I talked with her after the 1st hour and tried to comfort her. Thankfully she understands my purpose as a missionary and knows that I can't be around forever. We continued talking and she shared that she was so sad that I wouldn't be there for when she gets baptized. She doesn't have an actual date. She was going to be baptized on Saturday but she didn't feel ready. There were some things she wasn't willing to give up. But as we were talking she decided that she does want to be baptized Tuesday night before I leave. This would be such a miracle. We are going over to see her today and then the elders will follow to give her her baptismal interview. I just really hope that she's ready and that she won't talk her self out of it. She's been taught all the lessons.
