Subject: Two more people have entered God's kingdom! We had an
AWESOME baptism!
Yo yo yo it's letta
time!!!!!!!!!
Hey family!! So good
to hear from y'all! Glad to hear things are going great! Court I loved yours
and Brooke's pictures!! The two of y'all are going to have to teach me how to
be stylish again haha I've kinda lost it on the mission...
2 MORE
DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doing it at noon should work just fine for me! I
think I know my gmail account...
Man we had such a
great week! The Shorts got baptized on Saturday! Seriously one of the best
baptisms I've been to. Family baptisms are where it's at! Debbie has been working
towards this for about 3 years now and because of Hunter she was able to kick
her smoking addiction and finally do it! They had several family members there
who aren't members, Kallie just cried through the whole thing, the spirit is
definitely working on her and she should get there soon. I LOVE that family!
And now they're working towards going to the temple! The church is so true!! I
got to speak on the gift of the Holy Ghost, everything just went perfectly!
They were confirmed in the Kingsport ward yesterday and the ward just fellow
shipped them right on in! They're going to be just fine and they're going to be
strong active members! :)
We made some more
headway with Patty this week, we decided to go back to the basics and taught
the Restoration again we really focused on priesthood authority and how she can
find the peace and comfort she's looking for by being baptized. The spirit was really
strong, we had brought Debbie Smith with us and she bore testimony of how she
came to know. And she committed to praying about a date in February, it's so
far out because she is going out of town again for a couple months dang it...
But at least she is willing to do that! :)
We had some good news
from Kim this week too! She texts us and was like I have an early Christmas
present for you, I haven't drank sweet tea for 2 weeks now and I have no desire
to! We're not sure what changed that but we're hopefully going to find out
tonight! Keep them in your prayers, Bobby has been sick again.
So we had a pretty
cool experience this week! I think I've told y'all a little bit about Sky Byars
we've been seeing her pretty regularly the whole time I've been here, so we get
there on Thursday and she's like I have a surprise for you! It's someone to
teach, right here right now! Her name is Shelley and she is dating Sky's uncle.
Basically Shelley was like I would really like to be a member of this church,
is the first step baptism? What the?! Haha so we talked to her a little bit
about the church then went back Saturday and taught the Restoration, which went
really well. She's got several things she needs to overcome so please keep her
in your prayers but she's pretty golden! Heavenly Father is blessing us a lot
right now!
I have been pretty
sick this week, I've had a nasty head and chest cold but it's on its way out
and I'm feeling much better now. I've passed it on to Sister Huber though... :/
Man I can't believe
it's Christmas this week!!! We don't have a hint of snow here and I don't think
we're going to get any, I think it's going to be a pretty wet and rainy
Christmas. But it should be good, the ward's taking great care of us! Yesterday
the Primary kids sang Christmas songs to us missionaries and then gave a us a
HUGE box of wrapped food! :) It was so nice and will keep us fed for awhile.
Things really are
going so great! I am going to miss mission life so much but I've still got a
week left to make the most of it!
Again can't wait to
talk to y'all so soon!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Love, love, love
y'all!!!! xoxoxoxo
Sister Bedke :)
p.s. yes Sister
Colwell's name is Valerie.
