Week 48 - Going overboard with our obedience

This past week was really awesome. So quick background. We have been kind of decreasing on obedience as a mission. I'm not exactly sure why it is happening but it is. We are seeing the correlation directly in our work and numbers. We are not baptizing  at all like we need to. So with this my companion and I are trying reeeeally hard to go overboard with our obedience and hard work! We have seen soooo many miracles! It's glorious :D

Here are just the two biggest ones.

Salina

I've talked about her before. She is awesome. We have a baptismal date with her on the 30th. so we have been trying to get her to church!! The first time in the 4 months that I've been here she came to church!!! IT WAS AMAZING. She loved it :) she was so happy and said she's gonna come every week. She's going to have a baby soon... so that is going to prohibit her a little bit. The other crazy miracle with that is the man that is living with her named Bo! He told us last week that he wants to serve a mission and get baptized! LIKE WHAT?! It was amazing!! He's going to get baptized! Wooo

Nancy

Nancy is someone that we found by being obedient to what Elder Ballard (the 12 apostle) told us. He told us to try and talk to 10 people a day every day. So because of that... we were driving home one night and saw this lady was watering her lawn. it was dark and late but we stopped at a stop sign right by her. I had the weirdest prompting ever. I told Elder Collins to get out and talk to her... it seemed super weird but he was like... uh okay. He did it and we set up a return apointment.

She shared with us last time that that night she knew something was coming.. but she didn't know what. She said when we pulled up she knew we were from god and that she felt the spirit stronger than ever in her life!!! Oh it's so amazing. In our last lesson we committed her to be baptized on the 20th of june. We haven't taught her the law of chastity and she told us that she wanted to move out from living with her boyfriend before baptism! She is so prepared! She also told us that a bunch of people were telling us to never have us back cause we were horrible people. To their response she told them, "I know they're from god and that way of thinking you have is of the devil so I won't listen to it!!" OH YES! She is so prepared :)

Y'all I love this work! I hope that y'all have an awesome week. It's gonna be fun to see y'all during our Mother's Day Skype. :) Love you toooonnnnss!!

Love,

Elder Robertson
