I kept the news about my mom to myself on monday, so that I could process it privately. But I did share the information with a senior couple that was visiting, the Beaumonts. They had us show them around some of the local shops and then took us out to dinner. It was nice to have someone take their time to pause life for a moment to let me know they care. I also had them take a picture and send it to my mom because I knew that as much as I was worrying about my mom, she was worrying about me more. I am so incredibly grateful for prayer, it keeps my family and I connected and I know that Heavenly Father can look out for them a lot better than I can.
In terms of the work, we have been blessed with a few very prepared investigators. Unfortunately, due to a funeral that took place, we weren't able to meet with John all week, which means his baptism will just be pushed back to next week.
Right now, our investigator Rolihne has my heart. She is 18 and has an adorable 5 month old baby. She is so willing to listen. She doesn't know how to read so we have been teaching her a little bit each time we visit her. When we first met her she was really shy and told us that she didn't like to pray. Now she has just begun to light up every time we visit and has started praying regularly. We arranged a ride to pick her up for church, but she didn't have any shoes. We are working with the relief society to get her a pair so that she can come next week. She's also really excited to have her baby blessed.
I know that my Heavenly Father loves each of His children and I know He will never leave us alone. I'm grateful for our trials that teach us to have faith and rely on our Saviour Jesus Christ. Thanks for the prayers, I feel them everyday.
Love,
Sister Milne
