Happy Mothers Day!!!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! I sure did! We celebrated Mothers Day as a ward Saturday Night, which was super fun! We left a little after 8 when they were doing games, and after we left is when people started dancing, and the elders stayed longer because they live close to the chapel and saw our ward mission leader and his wife dance! They are such a cute old couple, I love them!
I loved getting to Skype home and see everyone! I love you all so much! Thanks for coming over or facetiming!
So we have been working with a young mom, Yesenia, who we knocked into. She is 24 and has two kids. She is so awesome! We gave her the Book of Mormon the first lesson and to read 3 Nephi 11, and she has been reading a ton! Usually Investigators don't read or only read a chapter, but by the second lesson she had already read to 3 Nephi 13! We shared the plan of Salvation with her last Friday, and she loved and accpeted everything! It was so cool to see her face light up as we taught her that everyone will have the chance to learn about and accept our Savior and His Gospel, if not in this life, then in the next! She took a picture of my little Plan of Salvation puzzle piece thing and is going to show her friends and family! We love her, ha, and she was so excited to keep reading and praying!
So, our other Investigators, Jorge and Jose who we dated for the 27th of May just Friday night at an awesome chapel tour, apparently are now in Northern Florida working for the next year, so sad, but all in the Lord's timing, I guess. They will accept the Gospel one day!
So those are our adventures! Love you all so much! The Gospel changes lives everyday, go out and be a part of it!!!
Love,
Hermana Stokes
PS. We are "The Machetes" District, hence the machetes! The elders in Immokalee got them for us because we are making all of their planners!
