Dear Family,
Happy Thanksgiving!! You bet our zone is playing a zone turkey bowl today!! We are so pumped! I'll let you know how it goes next week. I'm definitely going to miss Thanksgiving with the family, But I'll be stuffing my face over here in Rio Zion. We have 5 dinners lined up for thanksgiving so we are going to have to pace ourselves so we don't explode! It'll be a fun day! Know that I'm rooting for the kids in the turkey bowl this year! Hopefully they can pull through for another W!
This week was sweet for us! We were able to meet with Robert Jones and his family a couple times! Rosemary is his wife and she is a little skeptical about the church. She brings up a lot of unrelated doctrinal issues that she has, for example we were reading 2 Nephi 31 with them and when Nephi says "And the voice of the Son came unto me" she said that it couldn't have been the voice of the Son because Jesus hadn't taken the seat on the right hand of the father until after his life and resurrection. We explained to her about the premortal life and how Christ was with God and how he created the world and she agreed with everything that we said but she still didn't agree that he was talking to Nephi... So I don't think she even made sense to herself in her own mind but she agrees with the Gospel that is taught in the Book of Mormon so if we can soften her heart then she can start progressing! Robert came to church this week and he said he loved it so he is definitely in, but we just need to get Rosemary in as well! We had a good lesson with them yesterday where we brought a member who explained our church meeting to Rosemary and she asked a lot of questions and we were able to answer them and when we left she thanked us for coming and said that she enjoyed it!
We weren't able to meet with Kyle this week so we were kind of bummed, but the sweet thing is that on Sunday right when church started he texted us and told us that he had a feeling that he needed to come to church and asked us if he was too late, and we told him no and that he is totally welcome to come, so he did! He came just in time for the last speaker who gave a sweet talk about the trials that we go through and how we need to be grateful through them and he said that the talk hit him really hard and he was grateful that he came! We will probably meet with him a couple times this week and we are hoping to set a baptism date with him soon so we are pumped about that!
We also set another baptism date this week with a girl named Emily! She is 14 years old and she lives with her parents who are both members who used to be less active but are returning. She asked us the other day after a lesson who she can talk to if she wants to be baptized, and we were like US! Haha so her date if for December 12th but it may have to be moved due to some of the member's schedules because they want to be there!
Anyways that was our week! Love you all and have a good week! Bye
Love Elder Summerhays
