What an amazing week
this was!
I'm breaking out of
tradition and just writing a quick email without separating it into
categories...I know, a little crazy. I hope you can make it. (;
I can hardly contain
my excitement, so first things first: Mallory committed to be baptized on February
1st!!! :D I'm so excited! We taught her the Plan of Salvation and extended the
baptismal invitation, it was amazing. She is coming right along--loving the
Book of Mormon and gaining a testimony for herself of the truthfulness of these
things. Chad wasn't able to join us the past two lessons, so we are hoping to
see him again, catch him up to speed, and invite him to join Mallory on the
first and be baptized as well (:
We've been meeting
with Steve regularly, we are blessed to have such strong amazing relationships
with the people we teach. Steve is still an amazing example to us and is
showing his faith in trying to break some old habits.
We met with quite a
few less-active members this week. It's a faith-builder for me to see them
coming back to church, fanning the flame of their testimonies once again.
Adeline is doing
amazingly well, we are continuing to meet with her and have started seeing her more
times each week. She knows it's true and desires so badly to be baptized, but
we are working to help her have more support from her family as well. We've got
plans, and once that gets going--she'll be baptized soon, we all know it.
I don't think I've
ever been happier. I seriously don't have words to express the joy I feel being
able to be an instrument in God's hands, reaching out to His children and
bringing them home to their Father. God is good. The core of the message
is simple. We have a Heavenly Father who loves us and everything after
that is but a result of that love. The first and greatest commandment is
to love the Lord thy God--the rest are just teaching us how to
love. I am so grateful for the love God has for His children. Miracles are
seen everyday to confirm that statement.
Love from So Cal,
Sister Bishop
Learning by trial and error that liquid dishwasher soap does NOT do well
in a dishwasher...woops!
Ate dinner with Cara and Matt, they made us each a mini bird...it was
pretty cool.
After realizing I had
NO pictures to send home this week, we took a selfie.
