So I forgot to tell you about when I went on an exchange with the CV1 sisters last week. They're teaching this guy named Abdule and he is Muslim so they have to be super careful. He wants to get baptized and he reads the Book of Mormon 2 hours a day and he also recognizes Jesus Christ as a Savior and Redeemer, not only a prophet, which is super cool! He has the coolest accent and he always says "that's deep man, that's deep" "you sistas would cry at some things I have seen" "things of that nature" "is sincere, is from da heart". He is so golden and you really can't help but love him. I thought I'd share that since I didn't last week! Never thought I would get the chance to teach someone that is Muslim.
Lots and lots has happened this week and we have found lots of new people to teach! Miracles galore.
Thanksgiving was great! We went to the Neilsen's home and had dinner. Then President advised us to share 15 minute thanksgiving messages to families in our area so we did that! We shared Alma 34:38 about living in thanksgiving daily and how when we show gratitude and are continually looking at our blessings, we develop the Christlike attribute of humility. We also shared Luke 17 about the 10 lepers! Twas great. I'll send you pictures!
We went over to Tabatha's the night after thanksgiving and one of the first things she says to us is "so I called my mother-in-law... and she has a plane ticket for the 14th" (slyly hinting that she is getting baptized, because he mother-in-law wanted to come to her baptism). Sister Gibson and I were so stoked. Tabatha is so excited too! She is just the best. I know I always say that, but she really is. Before she was saying how she can't be baptized on the 14th because we get our transfer calls that day and "God wouldn't let us leave" if she hadn't been baptized yet. Haha, I love it, but now she IS getting baptized so who knows. I get this feeling that Sister Gibson is leaving, which is real sad. We will just have to see!
I don't have much time left, but I LOVED Dad's pictures from thanksgiving! I probably looked at them for 10 minutes each, haha! Keep being awesome and sharing the gospel with everyone!
Also, did you pick names for Christmas? Who is mine? I was always the one to set that up so not sure if you did or not because of the crazy weekend, but let me know!
This gospel is so good. It is sooooo goooood. And I love the Lord.
Also, how great is it that we have a Prophet? Do you know what that means! A prophet of God! I didn't realize how SUPER cool that was until I came out here. I mean, I thought it was really cool, but now it's just really really really really cool. I'm a real nerd about gospel stuff now and it is my favorite. I don't think I'm capable to carry on a normal conversation without talking about it. Cool stuff!
Super scattered email, but that is just how it goes. Trust in the Lord and all is well. That is my motto for this past week.
LOVE YALL!
Love,
Sister Boren
Bad picture, but this is Sister Sympson, the Orrs, and the Dannenburgs (from left to right). The Orrs are like the CV2 missionaries parents. They're the best!
Sister Hinds is probably my favorite person in the whole world. She's just the weirdest and it's great.
Thanksgiving with the Neilsens!
!
TABATHA'S GETTING BAPTIZED! It is a white Christmas indeed
CV1 Sisters and us!
