Week 28

 


Hello Everyone!


I hope everyone is doing well! I've had a bit of a cold the last few days, but it has not kept me down! We have had some great results with our 21 day Challenge. We are so grateful for the Lord answering our prayers! Last week we had 8 of the less active members on our list attend church! We are so grateful for these members and their attendance at church again.  It's been quite awhile for several of them! It is our hope that they will be touched by the spirit and continue in their journey back into the fold. President Nelson has asked us to "find the one"! If we can find one, we can find many...

We are on the last part of the house we are living in to be painted! The laundry room and the stairs to the basement. One side of the laundry room is done and we are waiting until we can move the dryer, washer etc. back so that we can do the other side.  It shouldn't take long. We have the stairs all sanded and are waiting until a less busy time to paint them. Hopefully in the next two weeks they will be finished too! The outside of the house was also painted, but thankfully not by us! I'll have to include a picture.

The work keeps moving on! We are now reading the Book of Mormon with several ladies each evening and a couple of others once a week. It seems the more we read the Bof M, the more there is to gain from it. Each person has their own ideas as to what the scriptures mean to them, and they are so right! Each time I read I gain more insight on the things I have already read. It is a never ending source of inspiration!

We were also able to attend the temple this last week and I got to use my new temple bag my sister made! I gave the bag I had been using to a member who went with us. She was thrilled! It's always a joyous experience to go to the house of the Lord and perform  ordinances for those who have passed on. There is a never ending supply of names.

Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Love,
Sister Tuha

First Day at the MTC

Image
Mom just finished her first day at the MTC. She said that is definitely a special place. she saw several Tongan elders there (at least she thinks they were Tongan) anyway. She was thinking that just a few weeks ago that would have been her grandson there! She did see her brother’s so, Brandon today! She got to talk to him in the cafeteria for a little while. That was nice for both of them !  She said It was so interesting that their district (9 single sisters) were instructed by a sister who is about 21 years old and has been back from her mission for not quite a year. Mom said she was such a good teacher!    The other instructor was a young man who had just become a father for the first time. He has been teaching at the MTC for 5 or 6 years.  Pretty much ever since he got back from his mission. He was also very good. Mom had their first lessons on Preach my Gospel today. She said it's a very inspired book.  She is looking forward to the devotional tomorrow....

Week 69?

  Hello Everyone! It's been a busy week again! This week we did clean checks again. We have 15 apartments to check in two cities. It usually takes us 2 days to complete them. We also dress up to lighten the anxiety involved in clean checks, both the Elders and Sisters apartments being checked and us checking them. Last time we checked apartments we dressed as bunnies. There were a couple of Elders who didn't have the best attitudes or clean apartments. So, this time before we went out we decided to pray that they would have good attitudes and very clean apartments. We went as referee's and only had to give 2 penalties! A traveling violation (Elders were late getting to their apartment) and a Technical because it caused us to be later for our next appointment. The Elders laughed at our novice attempts to give the right signals for the penalties. Their apartment was very clean! So were all the rest of the apartments we checked! The attitudes were great! We will always remembe...

Week 2

  Hi Everyone! This last week we did a lot of visiting members.  We are trying to get a list of the inactive members to visit, but our branch clerk/secretary is technology challenged. He's doing his best.... The temperatures here last week were pretty warm. We had one day at 70 degrees. Then this morning I had to scrape ice off my window in order to get to Seminary  at 6:00AM . It's supposed to be in the 50's today. When I was coming home the sun was coming up. It was a beautiful sunrise! The Lord is preparing us for a great day! Today, even though it was "P" day I did a route for Meals on Wheels.  They were short on drivers and called to see if I could help. So I did. I don't mind doing this because I get to know people and I get to know the town of Burlington better. We were studying in 1st Nephi this week and came across one of my favorite scriptures. It's 1Nephi  17:13  "And I will be a light in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before...
