Trauma, visits and hearts

New arrivals Surori Baker and Later, Vărstnici Anderson, Roberts, White, Christensen We have had another round of transfers which brought us three new faces.  Sora Baker (3rd from left) joined Sora Later, Vârstnicul Anderson (3rd from right) joined Vârstnicul White and Vâstnicul Roberts (far right) joined Vârstnicul Christensen.  We are excited to have them for at least the next six weeks.  We are blessed beyond measure to have the opportunity to work alongside of them in this amazing work. You can draw your own conclusions as to what may have happened but suffice it to say the P-Day activity was cut a bit short and the next 13 hours were spent at the dentist (1 hour), taking X-rays (separate location-1 hour), ER (separate location-7 hours), CT scan (separate location-4 hours).  Bedtime curfew violated (2:30 a.m.).  Next day dentist (glue job-1 hour, root canals pending).  We won't mention names to protect the innocent, but the flat back pose might give it ...

And a little child shall lead them

  Sweet Samyra Our beautiful, sweet Samyra was baptized this week.  She is amazing in so many ways and well ahead of her years.  She had a lot of support from family and branch friends.  Sister Turcsanski and Sister Later have worked hard to help her prepare and realized a wonderful blessing as everything came together.  She bore a strong testimony of how much this all means to her.  She is now the only Young Women in our branch.  We love the excitement of now having youth in our branch.  We can't wait to have more families that the Lord is preparing for us.  We have been praying with intention for the Lord to bless us with families and YSA.  We just witnessed His miracle and know He has more for our amazing Missionaries to teach and for our branch members to love.  He is preparing His children to receive His gospel.  We love being a part of His great work.  A few days later was Samyra's birthday so we couldn't let an oppo...

Take My Yoke Upon You

Image
...and learn of Me. The Savior said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light".  There is much to learn here.  Being equally yoked with the Savior makes this road of mortality much easier to trod.  As we saw this beautiful pair of oxen patiently waiting for the driver we couldn't help but admire and consider what it means to take His yoke upon us. Sister Folkman and Sister Mckinnon joined our Sister Later and Sister Turcsanski for exchanges and invited us to go to dinner with them.  We may have found a new favorite.  "Vivo".  The best burger we've had in the past 16 months, including In and Out, Five Guys and Red Robin.  Crazy you may say but I'm here to tell you it was amazing.  OK for all the naysayers, I might have to agree that a starving man ...
