But lets go back to Tuesday, the day before transfers, That was a crazy day! Sister Pryshchepchuk and I started out the day going to the doctors for both of us haha, all is well. we then had checked out this food bank that we possibly could do service at, but didn't really feel like going our last day together, but I felt like we needed to go! So we did and there are always a lot of Russians who go there, but there was a volunteer named Anna who was from Russia! We get talking with her and she has been looking for a church to attend. She was very much interested in what we had to share and even asked for a Book of Mormon and wants to come to church! we swapped numbers and they will start sharing more with her! Miracles!
So my ward I am now over is the Mays Pond Ward, and It has been on fire! They have been teaching someone named Aaron, who is actually from Hong Kong, but he is super cool! Long story short, He met a member on a plane and it started with a "fart joke" lol. It's easy as that Folks! Just opening your mouth and talking with people. Everything relates to the gospel haha! But we taught him his last lesson this week, lesson 5 and He was baptized this Saturday! It was an amazing service, He even gave a testimony/speech and it was awesome.
Really cool miracle,
We were teaching our Friend Laurie and she is on date for December 1st. she is an older women and has been through a lot in her life. Her husband passed unexpectedly in the night about 5 years ago and it has been really hard on her. But we were talking out front at a table about the Book of Mormon and how it connects to the bible and everything, and while we are just having this lesson, a guy who was painting her neighbors house comes up to us and says, "I just wanted to say thank you, I've been over here listening and just wanted to say thank you, I am a believer, God bless." Laurie goes, "Come and Join Us!" but he was on the job painting haha. we sadly couldn't find him after her lesson, but one day we will!
This Sunday was 5th Sunday and we were asked to give the lesson to all the adults about how they can share the gospel through technology. It went surprisingly well for not preparing for it at all haha. We helped out a lot of members who aren't the best at using their technology to know how simple it really is to use technology to share the gospel to our friends. We later had a lesson with some members in our ward and went through the restoration with them. It was super cool though, the wife's dad goes to the ward that President Nelson went to when he was here and so they went, her dad also gave the opening prayer to the meeting.They were all able to meet him, but the 9 year old son was grabbed by President Nelson and he gave him a big hug! they said he bent down to his height and told him he loves him. I couldn't even imagen. The wife was saying how sweet President Nelson's eyes are, like you could tell from pictures and things, but being that close to him was unreal the spirit that he carries.
We had the Come See For Yourself Fireside That happens every 3 months put on by President Wilding and The O'Hara's were two out of the 4 Recent converts who spoke! I love them so much, they are up in Oak Harbor, but the spirit was so strong that entire meeting. I Love this Gospel and the impact it makes on our lives as we live it. I am way excited for General Conference this upcoming weekend and hope you all can do something to prepare for it! Have an amazing week!
Love,
Sister Stokes
