We were able to talk with a family who has really been struggling, their teenage daughter just doesn't believe she has a testimony, but she wants to gain one. Her boyfriend used to be an investigator in the past, but apparently wasn't really too interested. We've been working with them and strengthening their family at dinner and having great gospel discussion with them. She told us last night she wants to take the lessons with us so she can find out for herself, and her boyfriend also wants to be involved and see if he can learn for himself. I know that this will most definitely help their family continually becoming converted to the gospel.
We are working also with a less active named "A" who has a sister on a mission in Mexico. She wants to gain that testimony for herself, because she has seen how much the gospel has blessed her sister's life and made her happy and she desires that for herself. It's so cool to watch her grow because she has a really rough past...sex, alcohol, drugs, tattoos boyfriends that are like 30 years older than her, partying, Vegas trips etc. It's so neat that she has that desire to come back, to give up everything, to change herself and her heart to receive those blessings. We taught her the restoration this week and she gave great answers, the spirit was definitely there.
Love you lots
p.s. I'm excited to go to the dentist today! (Mom: Apparently there is a church member in the area who is a dentist and likes to help out missionaries - he is going to even-up one of Carina's teeth in the front, as one is just a bit shorter than the other. Pics next week!)
