Scoon Lives On

Hello everyone!

Hope you had a wonderful week! Today we got our transfer news and Sister Scott and I are staying in the ysa ward! I'm so grateful I get to finish my mission here I love this area and these people.

Highlights from this week:

☆ Kamrynn was baptized and confirmed! YAY! After her baptism, we asked her how it was and she said, "as soon as I went under the water, I felt so much peace. It was like the world stopped for a second. It was amazing." Love that response! Love her and love this gospel!

☆ Our friend, Lorenzo who is getting baptized at the end of this month, came to church for the first time! He said as soon as he walked into the chapel, he could feel the spirit so strong. We haven't even been able to have a second lesson with him but he is so elect. Earlier this week, he was talking to his friend who doesn't believe in God. He told them to "come to my church and you'll change your mind." Haha he's awesome and is so excited for his baptism! Please keep him in your prayers <3

☆ We stopped by our neighbor, Emil, for a second and was able to chat with his friend "Money Penny." She told us how she's met with missionaries in the past but got scared so stopped having them over. But that she actually REALLY wants to learn. Her husband past away a few years ago and then just last year, her boyfriend past away. We were able to have such a good conversation and then SHE asked US to take her number. We're going to be meeting with her tomorrow to talk more about the Plan of Salvation! And she has 3 ysa aged kids! The Lord is truly preparing so many people to learn about His gospel. 

"O how great the goodness of our God, who prepareth a way for our escape from the grasp of this awful monster; yea, that monster, death and hell, which I call the death of the body, and also the death of the spirit" (2 Nephi 9:10). I read this scripture in my personal study this morning and loved it! Oh how great the goodness of our God. He has prepared the way for us and has a perfect plan. As we trust in Him, everything will work out.

Love you all! Have a great week!
