The trip to McCall lake looks awesome! Everyone looks like they had a great time! Was the water pretty cold?
This week was pretty sweet! The highlight of the week was a miracle that we had on Sunday! In the morning we went to a catholic mass with one of our investigators named Victoria, because she invited us, and we felt like we should just to show her that we respect all religions. She is 16 and she wanted to start meeting with us because her biological father is a member and she wanted to have a connection with him by learning more about our beliefs. So we went and it was a pretty cool experience! The preacher actually gave a pretty good sermon, and after the sermon they did kind of a sacrament thing that they call the eucharyst. After mass we ate some lunch at our apartment then we went to church! Victoria was there and she sat by us, but then the Williams family, who have been fellowshipping her, waved at her to go sit by them so she did! sacrament meeting was great. We had Mike and Michael both passing the sacrament, and the speakers were pretty good too! After sacrament meeting was over Victoria came up to us with tears in her eyes and said "Sorry guys I just can't control my emotions! If I were to get baptized who would baptize me?" Haha so we explained that anyone with the priesthood could do it, and then she said "That last speaker just hit me really hard and I really felt the Spirit, and I feel so strongly that the church is true. I just don't know how I'm going to tell my mom and my stepdad." Her parents are really strong catholics and they really love their church so she is afraid that they won't let her get baptized. So we talked with her about it and came up with some plans of what she could say to her parents and we testified about the truthfulness of the Gospel, and she felt a little more comforted about it! So she is going to talk with her parents about being baptized and we are hoping and praying that they will be ok with it! But it was an amazing experience! When you guys go to church make sure to focus on the Spirit that is there because too often we go through the motions every Sunday, and we forget why we are really there. It is a day set apart to worship the Lord, and to rest from our labors, and you will feel the Spirit and have your testimony renewed if you do that!
The three people who had baptismal dates all had to be taken off date because they didn't get to church this week so that was a bummer. But we are going to try to reset all of them this week! Anyways, I love and miss all of you guys and hope all is well! Keep on keeping on! Talk to you all later!
Love Elder Summerhays
