Hola!
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!! Are you wearing
green?!? Have you noticed how not big St.
Patrick's Day is when you aren't in an Irish
Dance class??? I certainly have...
Oh My GOODNESS! Thank you so much for the
package!!!! I got handed the package and i
nearly dropped it for how heavy it was! And
all the cards and stickers are
SOOOOOOooooooooo adorable! Hermana Howton's
eardrums are probably STILL ringing from how
much squealing there was going on. So Thank
you! It really made me VERY happy! Can you
believe that I am going to be 20? I know
that I am still going through shock! It is
only 2 days away before it is going to be
official! (Would it be inappropriate to ask
how it feels to have your baby girl turn
20?)
Ahh man! It sounds like grandma Caye is
having an interesting time adjusting to
everything! That has got to be hard. But you
are so amazing to go and get milk for her
even though it was late. And I know that you
have/will receive blessings for it.
What did Tyler do to Melody's song?
How To Begin Teaching (HBT) is in Preach my
Gospel chapter 10...(pg 162?)
And the 10th bullet point leads into the
baptismal invitation perfectly! And it
establishes your relationship with the
investigator so you aren't wasting time but
they know right up front why you are there.
To help them prepare themselves to come unto
Christ through the waters of baptism.
ITM ing is (Inspire the Members). It is a
short 15 minute lesson.
2-3 minutes chitchat.
open with prayer
5 min share a scripture/spiritual thought
3 min testimony
Invite members to think specifically about
people that they could share the gospel
with. Then offer the prayer.
Ask for referrals, if they don't give you
any, set up a next appointment and invite
them to continue to pray and fast about it.
This week has been crazy but really it all
climaxed on Sunday. We had a baptism! Rod
Zendejas was baptized! And we had a funeral.
Sister Eileen Smith's mother Sister Forrest
passed away. And they asked me to play the
organ and accompany a grand daughter singing
the hymn In the Garden... It was more than a
little stressful... But hermana Howton and I
got through it.
The Rodgers just moved into our branch and
it just so happens that they know Ben and
Mamie Winters!!! We went over to help them
clean up their new house. And when Jen
Rodgers found out that I was from Spokane
she said, "This is probably a shot in the
dark, but do you happen to know a Ben
Winters?" We both may have freaked out a
little bit when we made the connection!
Anywho, that was just super neat!
Well, I love you all so much!
I know that the gospel is true, that the
work is hastening, that the Lord loves His
children and that there is nothing better
than sharing the things that truly make us
happy!
I love you!
Hermana Ives
