Dear Family and Friends,
Well, with the reset going on with the iPads, our first step is to be master users of the Areabook app. So, what does that mean? It means keeping our Areabook up to date with all the lessons, and people we have met! Well, with how busy we've been, we have not been doing so well, but we decided it needed to be done, so we took a decent amount of time and did just that. We cleaned it up, filled everything in, and helped it be more effective. And it felt good. Later, we went to a Seven Eleven to use the Internet, and on the way there, and on the way back, we met some really awesome people! One was a family! And they accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon! And so did another young mother! She listened to what we said, and she told us that she believes that God is there, and that He listens to her when she prays to Him. She said that she prays with feelings, but she doesn't really use words, but even that is enough to reach the heavens. It was a great experience. Well, this week, we went to church, and there was a baptism! One of the member's sons had turned eight, and he decided he wanted to be baptized. I don't think I have participated in such a spiritual experience in a while. He bore his testimony at the end, and you knew that he realized that he had changed, and for a while, he sat in silence, not knowing what to say. And then, he started to cry, and said he was grateful to all that came today, and that he was grateful to be baptized. Wow. Well, lots and lots of things learned, but one that hit me recently is that too much stress is not good. But relying on the Savior is. Has everyone seen the new video by the church "He Lives"? I watched it this morning. So good. It's true! It will bless us! Have a great General Conference, and a wonderful Easter! The gospel blesses us, and I invite you to list all the ways it blesses your life, too! Love, Sister Blake Comments are closed.
