Family and Friends,
this weekend went by very quick! Good things are happening though!
On Thursday night we saw the W's, and we are helping them prepare for their sealing at the beginning of next month!! Super duper exciting!! haha they made sure to schedule the sealing before the end of the transfer just in case so I could come :) ;) It really has been cool to see them growing though since I've been here! They've given up the coffee and tea and have been doing everything they can to prepare for the temple, and you can just see the change in them! The Atonement is amazing :)
On Friday we went on exchanges with the Butler Elders. I was With elder Codina who was trained in Canning vale as well! It was cool because he showed me all of the pictures he had with some of the members and investigators there! Anywho, then after lunch, we went to see this Russian and south African guy that we contacted on the street earlier this week, and the Russian guy was home, but he didn't really want to talk, so we just gave him a Russian Book of Mormon, but then the South African Dude wasn't there, Then since we had a half hour free, we decided to............... tract!! :)
We decided to go to this nearby mini complex. We knocked on the first door, and it was this lady, and the first thing she said to us was, "Ohhh you guys are from the church that was started from a guy finding something in the ground!" haha and so we said, "Basically!" haha but we ended up having a really good conversation. She was just connecting soooo much whenever we talked about having a clean start, and understanding why bad things happen to good people, so we asked her if she wanted us to share more about that, and we told her that we would help her have a clean start.... blah blah blah, then right before we were about to leave, I had the distinct impression to tell her of her worth to God. So I started telling her about how God was her Father, and that he Loves her, and that He knows the ins and outs of here, and all of that, and she started crying. The Spirit was there! We could all feel it :) super cool!
We had a few more appointments that day, and it was funny because we even saw the 2 new investigators that Elder Codina and I found on the blitz when we exchange for a bit then. We saw Q and S, and it was cool because they are so humble, they are willing to do whatever it takes to come closer to God. AFter we taught them how to pray We invited them to pray together that night, but I think Q misunderstood our invitataion, and just started to pray the way that we taught him. it was awesome!! D was there with us.
Saturday was great, the sisters had a baptism, and I played the piano for the service! We also weekly planned because we didn't have time to on Thursday, and we made a cake from a 2 month old expired cake mix hhaaha! everyone loved it at the baptism, and they all had the most horrified expression that it was that old hahaha!
Yesterday was a great Sabbath as usual, lots of visitors. We participated in the confirmation, and then after church we tracted for a few hours in the rain!! yesss!! ;) :) ( I honestly really do like it!) Once it got dark we saw brother S and the S's, and it was a great night!
Lots of opposition lately, but its good! Love it all! the biggest thing I learned this week was that remembering who we are is one of the most important things we can do. It provides correct perspective, gives purpose to life, and helps us know we can change and teaches us how we can change! I love the gospel. it's part of me now :) Love you all
Love Elder Beeson
