Dinner messages are a blessing!

Hey family and friends! Thanks for everyone who emailed me their testimony of the Book of Mormon! I hope your testimonies will continue to grow about it. It's amazing how many blessing come from being in the scriptures.

Anyways, not too much to update on. We did a lot more service than usual this week which was good because we are "called to serve," not called to just teach and preach. I love serving people and creating a better relationship with those we serve. 

Sadly, Brother and Sister Owens are both still in the hospital. Theyve been in for about 2 and a half weeks just chillin in their rooms waiting for results. Sister Owens's is waiting for an antibiotic for her infected foot.... her body has rejected 6 antibiotics so far!! Then they are still trying to figure out what's wrong with Brother Owens's leg. Its getting weaker and weaker. But their faith is so strong and they are being so faithful through it all! I hope they will get everything figured out soon! Willow (the daughter) and Cora (Sister Owens's sister) both still want to be baptized, so once all the craziness is over we will be able to work more towards them.

Then Richard Santos is starting to become more and more interested so that's super exciting!!! He came for all 3 hours yesterday and made a lot of really good comments and even said a prayer in class. It was super cool! I'm so excited to meet with him every week because he's super smart in the bible. I just gotta make sure I don't believe EVERYTHING he says because he has some unusual theories... "the world is flat... but they won't teach you that because they don't want you to know." But other than that he's pretty cool! He believes the Book of Mormon is true, and the bible is true but it doesn't have all the truth. There is a lot of potential in him! :) 

One thing that I absolutely love is when I share dinner messages with families. I get to share different things that I've read or what I've studied. Two thoughts I had while I was reading in John last week that I loved. One is in John 15: 13-15. I just love how he refers to us as his friends, not his servants. It's so nice that even though he's our master and savior, he calls us his friends :). The other one that I loved was in the next chapter, the last verse. He's talking to his 12 apostles right before he's gonna be crucified. He tells them that hard things will come to them in their life on earth; but be of good cheer! Because he's better than anything in the world. He truly has overcome the world and with him we are unstoppable. There is nothing we cannot do when we are with Christ. I'm so grateful for my savior and I know he lives. I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Thanks for everything everyone!! :)
