Sounds like you guys had a good week and an awesome Sunday! Kill it out there Timmy and Brit!! You guys are going to be solid missionaries! I miss golfing with the fam, looks like a good time!
This week was pretty good! The highlight of the week was Allen Greene. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and it was a really powerful lesson! We testified a ton about the Atonement and what it does for us. At the end of the lesson we asked him what the Plan of Salvation means for him and he said "Well gosh man, I mean there's no place I'd rather be than the Celestial Kingdom!" Then he went on to say "I just can't even imagine how much love Jesus Christ must have for us for willingly going through all of that. And knowing that..." and then he started tearing up "How could you not accept that, and how could you not follow him?" It was so powerful and the Spirit was there so strong! He's ready to be baptized, and all we have to do now is finish teaching him and get him to church! He's going to be a great member!
We also saw Bruce and Jay this week and taught them the Plan of Salvation as well. They loved all of it and believe all of it! After the lesson they said "When we're baptized you're still going to come by and teach us right?" and we said yes and also explained home teachers to them and Jay was like "I love that, that's awesome!" And then she turned to Bruce and said "Honey we found our church!" Haha so that was sweet! We're excited for their baptism.
We had a zone training this week and we got a new scripture of the month. It's 3 Nephi 5:13. We are supposed to memorize it by the end of the month. I've been thinking about that scripture and there are a lot of ways that we can apply it in our lives, but I just love the humility that you can see in that verse. As disciples of Jesus Christ we have to remember that this is His work and His word, and that the people around us are His people, our brothers and sisters. We need to turn our hearts over to Christ and humbly serve Him. Always remember who gave us life and always remember who gave us the opportunity to find happiness and peace in this life and in the life to come. Without Christ we would have and be nothing. I love Him so much and I will serve him for the rest of my life. So I would invite all of you to memorize that scripture by the end of the month, and apply it to your life!
Anyways, I love and miss all of you and hope all is well! Keep doing what's right! Talk to you next week!
Love Elder Summerhays
