this week has been a crazy one. here in Stockton we see at lot of strange things every day. We have never gone one day without seeing something really usual, which keeps things fun and exciting.
on Tuesday we had a miracle lesson. for this lesson we invited a member from the ward we asked him to meet us there at 7. we are at the house of our friends waiting in our car and he calls us at 7 and says he is going to leave soon. so we were like cool and my companion was way tired because were still a little sick. so i was like just lay down and take a little nap until he gets here i will stay up and watch for when they come. i fell asleep before she did (she said she opened her eyes right before she fell asleep and i was already asleep) ooppsss. So we are both sound asleep and our phone starts ringing and it was the elders we answer as we are looking up, and we see our member we invited with his whole family and our friends standing outside and we are like oh no, so we hang up on the elders and run outside and explain to our friends that they are members from our church. our friends ended up being way nice about it they got us all chairs and bought us fruit. then we had an amazing lesson with. and his family really helped with the lesson especially his wife. he told us after he was like i am sorry but i felt like i should bring my family, then his wife was like yeah i didn't want to come. But it was such a blessing that they all came.
manny, he is our friend that was on date for august 3. well manny is 10 and his parents are no longer together, but they are still legally married, which means he has to ask for permission from his dad to be baptized. He wants to be baptized so bad and he knows so much about the church, he knows that this church is true and he wants to follow the example of Jesus Christ. we are not sure when he is going to be baptized, but last night while we were at mannys house he got out his phone and he called his dad and asked for permission his dad said they would talk to him later.but it was one of the most rewarding experiences seeing manny gain all the courage he could and tell his dad that this is something he wanted it was so cool. for me this has been a huge blessing to have been able to teach manny because i have seen him become truly converted, i may never see him be baptized but i saw him change and i saw him come to Christ.
in our ward their is this lady who is about 90 and she and her sister are the only ones who are alive now, her husband and her son died, but she is one of the happiest, mot Christ like people i have met she is so special, every time we go over she tells us how much she loves us, and she tells us stories about her life she is just the sweetest human you will ever meet.
Love you all ❤️
