wow my first transfer is almost over!!! this is week six. i love it
so much. well to recap our week we had my first park day. and rode on
my bike it was actually pretty fun. and we had a great week and seemed
productive. but the expericence i will share today is one that happened
saturday night with a less active who's name is autumn.
so we have been going to her house about 1-2 times a
week. autumn is so awesome!! she is in her 30s with a daughter named
ayla. so on saturday i almost knocked over a shot glass and me and her
got into a talk about the word of wisdom. i almost got her to dump out
all of the alcohol she owns but she didnt. but then i starteed to talk
to her about the word of wisdom and what we dont put into our body and
then the promise that comes with it. I know that was feeling the spirit
just as i was. This is what happened next as i know the spirit once
again worked threw me to get to her. i asked "autumn have you ever been
to the temple?" she replied "yes i did baptisms" i then said how would
you like to feel that again in your life? and told her that she needs to
get there again as she wants to have those feelings again. and then i
hope my mom and dad dont mind me sharing this but oh well they love me.
:) i then shared with her this, that my parents are divorced. and my mom
was never temple worthy untill March of this year. and that my mom took
the biggest leap of faith to stop drinking coffee and paying her
tithing. and yes things werent easy but we made it by and were blessed
becuase of it. then my father i told him 2-3 months before i went to the
temple on august 8 2012. and when i did go i had my parents there. the
only child in my family to have my parents at the temple with me. and
when i was standing in the celestrial room of the temple and looked over
and saw my mom and dad dressed in white this was the destinct thought i
had "FAMILIES ARE FOREVER."
I then asked autumn if she would want to have a
experiance with her daughter in the temple. she pretty much started to
cry with the thought of having that feeling. and then commited to me
that she will start getting herself ready for a temple recomend. and in 1
year she will be there. and i will go with her too with permission from
my mission president.
I know that familes are forever threw Gods plan and
that only threw the temple will see those loved ones again. I cant wait
for the day to see my grandma and grandpa together again. and they watch
over my everyday of the year. remember what families are for.
REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, Put On The Whole Armour Of God
