What in the world happened to the Stacy family? I litterally almost cant recognize any of them. Especially Aidan. Haha he´s huge!! Loved the pictures though. Thanks for sending them.
It was super funny because when we got on for emails, Elder Littlefield opened up his email from his parents and said, "oh look, my parents met President and Hermana Pace! Here´s a picture from them." (Elder Littlefield´s dad is the Manager of prefield services for the missionary department and has his main office in the MTC) I looked at the picture and thought, "i wonder if mom and dad met them" Then I opened up the email from mom and there was pretty much the same exact picture of President and Hermana Pace. Haha i´m sure you´ve met Elder Littlefield´s parents, mom and dad. Or at least seen them. Elder Littlefield and I were actually assigned to take President Pace out on splits with us his first night out in the field on friday... haha we´ll see how that goes!
If i´ve never told you why my lucky number is number 13, here´s another reason why..... This last week we really focused on getting people to church and asking for the members help in inviting and bringing friends to church. We focused on 3 strong member families and got a lot of referrals from them. They said that they would do everything they could to bring their friends to church. Luckily, one of the families, Los Luque, have a son who is leaving on his mission this week and was going to be giving his testimony in sacrament meeting, which gave a lot of investigators more reason to come. Saturday night, there was a birthday party for another girl in the ward, Carmen. We knew that a lot of members, including the Luques, and their friends would be at the party. We stopped by and shared a message with everyone and reinvited all of the investigators to come to church the next day. We were a little afraid because Saturday was the día de Sant Juan and everyone was going to stay up late at parties, which would make it harder for them to come to church in the morning. Elder Littlefield and I kept praying for a miracle and that these people could come to church. The next day, only one investigator family of 4 was there as sacrament started, or at least I thought there was. Then Elder Littlefield turned to me and said, "I think there are 7-8 investigators here right now". As I looked around and harder to where the members we had visited were sitting, and found there were 4 more investigators sitting with different members. We were up to 8. About 10 minutes later, in walked another investigator family of 5 that Los Luque had invited. 13 people in church. It was the biggest miracle I´ve ever seen in church. After sacrament, we met all of them and are working with the members to set up visits and teach these incredible children of God.
Well we gotta go right now to our last "concilio" as zone leaders with President Hinckley right now. It will be an amazing meeting. I´ll let you know how it goes. Love you all
Elder Reeves
