Why hello there Family!
This week has been one of the best weeks ever! Okay so the story of the Year happened on Saturday. We met this girl Rose while we were knocking out an apartment complex and she was walking her dogs so we stopped and talked to her for a jiff. She was telling us all about her medical condition about how she has a brain tumor and all that jazz. Well we taught her about the priesthood and the Blessings that are administered therein and we offered to give her a blessing on Saturday. She agreed and said that we could come over and do that for her. We when Saturday came around we went over to the house and her friend Dustin answered the door and was really standoffish to us but we sweet talked him into letting us in. We sat down with them and taught them the 1st part of the restoration of the Gospel and we got to the Great Apostasy and Dustin and his GF got up and left. Me and Elder Rigby we both really confused why they left but it was for a good purpose. This gave us an opportunity to give rose the blessing. She was fine with it and said we could do it. Rigby Anointed and I gave the blessing. It was the most incredible blessing I have givin on my mission. The spirit was so strong and after the blessing we asked her how she felt, she told us that during the blessing everything turned bright white and she couldn’t see anything. Then she proceeded to tell us about how her heart had been physically hurting for the last 3 weeks and after the blessing it completely stopped. She then went on to explain how her mom was into witchcraft and all the evil stuff and how she really wanted to find the Holy Ghost in Her life. She explained that she had felt the HG in the blessing and she told us how she wanted to have it with her at all times. We asked her if she would do anything to have it with her at “all” times and she said “yes”. We asked her if she would be baptized so that she could get the gift of the Holy Ghost and she said YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She wants to be baptized on the 22nd of August. I’m so stoked for her. That night the other elders were having a baptism and she went to that and watched someone get baptized. And then after that we taught her about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith and she said she believed in them both and that she would read and pray about them both as well. She is such a sweet girl and she is only 18 years old. So pray for her so that she can be healed from her sickness and that she can hold this baptism date. Yesterday we had a Zone P-Day. It was so much fun but im feeling the after effects way bad this morning. I woke up with a head ache and my whole body is so sore. Ha ha we played basketball, Pakistani one ball, (dodge ball where you have to get everyone out by yourself) its buck-wild. Wiffle-ball, kickball, wall-ball, and then we played this game called cashflow. I really think ya’ll should invest in this game. Dad might know what it is. It is a business board game that deals with really situations with money, jobs, loans, financing, ect. It’s a 200$ game but it is the coolest game in the world. But other than that this week has been really good. I love ya’ll so much and im so glad that ya’ll are my family. I love ya’ll.
One Love Elder Schwendiman
