So, yes! I am still serving here in the Mesa 5th Ward in the
Maricopa North Stake with Sister Tucker. Thank goodness! We have a lot of good
things going on!
Brandon set a date to be baptized!! He chose September
20th. Except, that's all the way after the NEXT transfer, so we may try to move
it up a week or two. We are so excited for him! He is already integrated into
the ward and the Young Men, we are so happy!
Justin and Julia made it to all three hours of church last
Sunday! And the ward has really just taken them under-wing :) They already seem
like members! They still have so much to learn, but they both have said that
what we have taught them seems right- it just clicks. And it does! The Gospel
of Jesus Christ makes so much sense. Historically and through the power of the
Holy Ghost, it feels like a no-brainer. But so often, past thoughts and
influences confuse the pure and simple truth of the Gospel. If we are open to
the quiet and gentle tugs of the Spirit, we will know the truth. I've found
that we must be humble, and have faith in our Savior and our Eternal Father, to
find the truth.
I am so thankful that I have been blessed to know the truth
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have been so blessed to be raised by a mother
and a father who love the Lord, and have taught me and my sisters from when we
were small to love Him as well. Our family has been blessed by their example
and faithfulness. Over the last year, and even before the mission, I have seen
so many families torn apart by the ways of the world, and even families who are
faithful and true, yet lack the love that I knew while growing up. I know that
it is through the Gospel of Jesus Christ and by following our prophets that our
families are blessed. So, thanks Mom and Dad. Your example means the world to
me.
So! We are plugging along on our bikes in the heat! We
haven't gotten caught in a rainstorm yet, but they are here and I love
them!
Ok.
I LOVE YOU!!!
Love, Sister Hailey Brown
