Hello Family!!
Holy smokes General Conference was amazing!!! and it's probably a
good thing that i wasn't able to see Austin, for that is against the
rules haha but that's exciting that they are down here!! I definitely
know the missionary age change is truly inspired
because i truly felt it when he spoke, i felt the spirit confirm what
our beloved prophet spoke by inspiration. I know that Thomas S. Monson
is a living prophet on the earth today. I loved his talk as well, all
about prayer and feeling and recongnizing the
Holy Ghost. and we must "never postpone a prompting" -that's what i
loved! we all have had those promptings in our lives and He is speaking
to us to help and bless the lives of others. He knows what's best. oh
and about the District, that's a mini series that
BYUtv made and we as missionaries use clips from their teaching called
The District 2 for our training out here in the field. They all were
home before i left on my mission but i did have the opportunity to meet
Elder Moreno in the MTC, they are all fantastic
missionaries and we learn a lot from their examples. that's a funny
story about Nolie, i'm sorry but that's great that she's talking and
that she loves papa haha oh what a cute little girl.
So dad has set his date for sharing and preparing someone to hear
the Gospel, i know that as you continue to pray daily and pray with that
faith that that person will be brought into your life, you will have
those promptings of the spirit to "go help that
person" or "i should talk to this person" all those "thougts" come from
the spirit. He tells us in our minds and in our hearts and He will help
you in your efforts. Has anyone else set a date? i know that as your
pray for inspiration for a date, Heavenly Father
will help you and when you've set that date, to act! As we've learned we
have to observe then serve, we have to do something right? put our
shoulders to the wheel!
Updates!
We got to watch the sunday morning session at the Jolly's and Bro.
Jolly is doing really well, he loved conference and love Elder Holland's
talk, he really connected with it and we had a lesson with him after
the session and invited him to be baptized
and we were able to get his concern about baptism and we'll continue to
work with him and help him to overcome those concerns. But i do know
that he's feeling the spirit each and every day of his life and that
God's hand is in his life and i hope and pray that
he'll be able to overcome his concerns.
Karen is doing well too! she's been reading and praying about the
Book of Mormon and each time she prays she says that she feels really
good, and we read 3 nephi 11 with her and talked about why we are to be
baptized and the blessings that come from it
and she is praying to know if baptism before she leaves san diego is
right, we're doing everything we can to get her stoked to take these
habits that we're introducing and tools that she's been given to take
back to Oregon and continue learning in the Gospel.
Oh! so a few weeks ago, we were given a list of Relief Society
Sisters that our RS pres gave to us that she did not know, and we were
able to stop by one sister Etherton, and this was the 3rd time we'd
stopped by and she was home! she opened the door and
said "hey elders come on in, meet my husband" and we talked to her
husband that half his family is LDS, and he accepted the invitation to
take the lessons and we're going by on friday! and guess what? he loves
to golf! yes!! haha but he is an incredible man.
Ah so it's transfer day tomorrow and we found that Elder Brown is
getting transferred tomorrow so i will be getting a new companion
tomorrow so sorry this is so short but he's got to get everything packed
and prepared! i hope you all know how much i love
you and care about you! i'll keep you in my prayers!
love,
Elder Aaron Jordan Lloyd
