Nice back yard Carrie!! It looks sooo good. It´ll be fun to watch Caden become an NBA star with that basketball hoop. Wow time is flying. This next week is transfers again and it´s going to be the BIG one. 21 viejos going home. We´ll see how it turns out. It´s President and Hermana Hinckley´s last transfer so we want it to be perfect for them. President and Hermana Pace will be coming on June 29th.. craaazy!The miracle I saw this last week is the power of testimony and the scriptures. Elder Garces and I went to one of our Filipino visits and we knew that a member was going to invite some non-member friends. When we got there, there were 5 Filipinos friends and 3 other members. As we started teaching, we tried hard to keep everyone attentive and listening, but that´s something REALLY hard to do with a group that big. Many questions were brought up and we found ourselves listening to a big argument about why God would let His children suffer if He loves us. It was getting time to leave so we calmed everyone down and we told them we were going to read a scripture and then have to go. As soon as we started reading the scripture, the room went completely silent and we were able to bare our testimonies and bring the Spirit back strong for a minute. We ended with a prayer and just left them with the Spirit. I dont know if we´ve had any impact on those investigators but like it says in 2 Nephi 33, we brought the Spirit UNTO their hearts, and it´s up to them to let that Spirit INTO their hearts.
Things are going great here in the mission. I´ve finally gotten to the point in the office where I´m not so stressed out every day to where I wanna just break down and cry... haha it´s never happened but there´s been a lot of stressful times. It´s just taken me almost 6 months to finally get into the rhythm of it. Thanks for everything fam. Love you more than ever. Til next week
Elder Reeves
