That's sad to hear about the news for nana. I pray and work that things will go well for her.
My first week here has been a good one. We have great investigators who are prepping for baptism on nana's birthday June 25 so I hope we get it so that can be my gift to you nana haha. We had a great lesson last night to a old couple who have been progressing. The husband is excited and knows our church is true so he's getting ready for the 25th but his wife isn't because she's part of another religion. We had planned to teach about the spirit world but our following up led another direction. She expressed her concern and how she's confused between mormons and born again. She doesn't know which one too choose still. So through the guidance of the spirit my companion and I helped her a lot. She admits to the fact that she likes the feeling she has when learning about our gospel but doesn't want to leave born again because of the sponsorship they have for her grandson. If she leaves the sponsorship will probably leave too. We have been thinking of how we can push and encourage her to accept the gospel and last night was perfect because she was saying what we wanted to say. She knows that there is a reason that missionaries are teaching them again after 12 years. She said it herself that God is calling her to be baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We then testified again of our purpose here on earth and that today is the day to prepare to meet God and not tomorrow. She once mentioned that after 5 years when the sponsorship was doen she would join our church haha. Overall the spirit took over in the lesson and it was definitely there and we testified of his presence there. We can only continue to hope and pray that a miracle might be performed in our half.
Man I love being a missionary. There's simply no words to describe it. If I do, it's cliche. Tomorrow we have MLC. A leaders meeting with President.
Love,
Elder Brown
