Dear Everyone,
This week has been wonderful!
We are still teaching Brother Dannehl! I love him! He hasn't been drinking coffee for three weeks now! Every time we go over to his house, we follow up with him about it. He always laugh, "No, I haven't drove all the way to Idaho Falls just to have a cup of coffee." We clap with joy for him and tears fills my eyes! I am grateful for Brother Dannehl progression! He is like my Best Friend! Sister Richins and I are trying to figure out how we could better help him. BUT he is doing so AMAZING! He came to Church with his wife a little late, the seats were filled. As they were walking past us, Brother Dannehl stopped right next to where we were sitting and he wispered to his wife, "Hun." She looked back and Brother Dannehl pointed at us. We scoot over and made room for them. I just love them so much! When Sister Richins and I were bearing testimony, I looked down at Brother Dannehl, and he was wiping his tears off! Seriously brought tears to my eyes! He has came a long way compare to when I first met him in September! I love him so much!
We're teaching a boy, nineteen years old, named Justin. I believe I mentioned him before. We got a baptismal date for him on February 21st! His Mom is a convert as of last year in June, but she became less active. Justin is doing so great keeping his commitments! But ever since we set the date, it almost seems like his Mom is trying to have him wait a little longer (I think it's partly because it took her seven months to finally accept a Baptism). But we will not give up on Justin! Satan is not going to get in the way! Brother Markham, one of our ward mission leader, has been so great to fellowship with Justin! We know that he will get there, and we can promise him that as he live the Gospel's standards, his life will be full of joy!
Sister Richins and I went to contact one of our referral. When we got there, she yelled through the door, "Who is it!?" I yelled back, "It's the Sister Missionaries!" She opened the door, and before Sister Richins and I could even say anything, she slammed the door! Her whole house shook, and she was yelling unkind things as she walk away from the door! It hurts, because I can't imagine how the Savior was rejected.
We went to mutual, new beginnings, with the Young Women. OH MY! How I miss Young Women! Sister Cather, the Young Woman President, have asked us to bear testimony about the Personal Progress Program. I love standing at the front room looking out at all of the beautiful Young Woman! The Spirit was so strong. I know that Personal Progress has helped me look towards the Temple more, it brings peace to me, reminds me of who I really am, and it prepares me to have the desire to raise my children in the Church, and have a worthy Priesthood holder someday.
I love you all so much! Keep doing some Missionary work! I've been hearing some incredible stories! #IPM
Sister Hatch.
