Querida familia y amigos,
We found out this week that we are going to the temple on September 7 so that will be our preparation day instead of Monday. I am so exited for the temple! The last time we went was in April.
We met a great family this week. We only talked to the dad once because the parents have opposite schedules, but they are both very kind. They have twin daughters who are twelve and a little two year old. The mom is bringing her daughters to mutual this week and we are going to give them a tour of the church on Tuesday so that they can meet one of the young women and her mother beforehand.
We felt like we should stop by this one former investigator last night. The sisters lost contact with him because he works on Sundays and couldn't get it off, but he reads the Book of Mormon all of the time still and really wants to be baptized. He just needs to go to church. Well because we felt like we should stop by last night we were able to learn that he has one week of vacation coming up and that he won't have to work on Sunday and that he will be able to come to church. Great! It is great to be lead by the Spirit in our work.
We have been doing a lot of work with the memebrs lately. We visit them and help them understand the principles of missionary work, especially as outlined in Preach My Gospel so that they can have a successful missionary experience. We love missionary work but we also know that all of the members who love the Gospel want to have good experiences too but often times they lack the skills or the understanding to share the gospel. We love going into their homes and having regular lessons with the same family to help them identify who they might want to share their testimony with, what their friend or family member's needs are, and how they can best share the Gospel with them. We call them member lessons.
I love you all so much! Happy Labor Day!
Con amor,
Hermana Kinghorn
