Well HELLOOOOOOO....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Thank you for
all the birthday wishes! They really mean a lot to me! haha Especially Elder
Skousen.... groupin’ me in there with your own mom... I feel honored! haha it
feels so weird to be 20... I’m not a teenager anymore! But its ok... cause I still
look like I'm in high school hahaha and act like it. Anyway... I'm definitely
planning on using my Texas Roadhouse gift card today! Great minds think alike.
Then we're probably going to do other Pday stuff...play basketball... write
letters... laundry... the whole works!
Thank you for the Birthday Package by
the way! It was great! I'm sporting the new G's right now!! Best feeling in the
world (next to baptizing). I also loved the Uke chord chart and songbook! It’s
already profiting me! I ate all of Dad's Popcorn too. Thanks! I don’t know if I
need a light anymore…I just got new batteries! Turns out…that was the problem
the whole time! And the leatherman... I don’t know... just like a regular
one... you don’t even really NEED to get me one. I can probably do with one.
And I just want a Bible I can carry around. It can even just be a New
Testament. haha thanks! LOVE YOU!
Deborah is 16... I actually feel
terrible because she hasn’t been going to church for a while now. Please pray
for her.
I never got a card from Aunt
Rhonda.... but I know that she sent one! haha does that count?!
I'm glad Madi liked her letter! Love
you Madi and your letter too! Maybe one of these days I can write some to Chase
and Austin too. And others.... Maybe... I've kinda been slacking on letters
lately. I just found a letter that I never responded to from Shayla... It was
just chillin’ in my binder! I think I was going to write back but then I got
transferred and I packed it up and forgot.... So.... SORRY SHAYLA! I'm not a
dirtbag!
This week has been a struggle to find
new investies again. Albert got in a fight with his wife and moved to
Brownsville for a while... so we can’t teach him right now. We're going to go
ask his wife if we can talk to her though. Hopefully they can patch things up,
get baptized, and then get sealed in the Temple... that would be prime. Then we
had
some other investigators fall off....
but I think we're about to see some success. We have met some really cool
people this week that have a lot of potential. One guy that talked to Elders in
the Valley for a while... the only problem with him is that we can never get a
hold of him. But we'll get 'em! Then we found another little family. But we'll
see the fruits this next week hopefully!
Our district had all of the baptisms
in our whole zone for this month. The Muniz kids (a part-member family that
went inactive and we've been teaching their kids) got baptized yesterday along
with a girl named Kim that E.Graham and E.Root found. So that was pretty cool!
It was so amazing to work with the Muniz family and seeing them come back to
activity in the church. Like 3 months ago they wouldn’t even open the doors to
missionaries, and now they're coming to church. Their kids love primary and
their older daughters are preparing to go to girls camp! But what really made
me glad was that Bro.Muniz had the opportunity to baptize his two children. It
warmed my soul to see a
righteous father humble himself and
repent so he can his family back to activity in the church and receive the
blessings of exaltation.
I can’t wait to change more lives
here in Corpus. It’s honestly the best feeling in the world! There is nothing
that feels so sweet as sharing the Gospel of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I
challenge you all to pray for opportunities to share the Gospel or to help
someone in need. As you do, the Lord will provide the opportunities and you can
feel of his love. Don't be afraid. "Do the right thing, at the right time,
WITHOUT DELAY" Don't miss the chance to change a life.
I love all of you so much! Have a
GREAT WEEK!! -Elder Jordan Stewart
