This has been a great week! We had Stake Conference this last weekend. Jeremy Scott and Robert Matthews both spoke, and it was so amazing to rehear their conversion stories and their testimonies! It is such a testimony to me of the truthfulness of this church and of the happiness that it brings to people! Two of our investigators, Sonny and Cheryl, came! Cheryl had a great time, and Sonny sent us the coolest text ever! He said, "Thank you guys for inviting me to your bi-annual conference and introducing me to your mission president. I really enjoy the family and fellowship environment. I look forward to getting to know the LDS way of life,and I feel a lot better about things after a church service. Thank you for helping to guide me. I'm starting to see that there was something missing in my life, and I'm glad you folks can help me.I look forward to the next church service. Thank you." Ah! We were freaking out when he sent this to us!!!!
We ended up pushing Cheryl's baptism back to the end of October because she just wasn't ready, but she really feels the spirit and knows that she wants this gospel in her life because it makes her happy. :) Jeremy Scott and Robert Matthews both got the Melchizedek Priesthood this weekend though!! It was so cool, they are both so strong in the gospel, they don't give the Melchizedek Priesthood to anyone after only a month or two of baptism!!! Dixon is going to be taken up like the city of Enoch soon. We are currently investing in painting all of the streets gold :)
Have you all heard of the new movie, "meet the mormons" that's coming out on October 10th? Go see it! Our stake president committed everyone in the congregation to go see this movie in order to keep in theaters for as long as possible. It was commissioned by the first presidency and was originally intended for the temple visitor centers and what not. Take your friends your neighbors, and everyone that you know!
Alright, I'm off my soapbox now :) Anyway, I hope that everyone has had an incredible week and that you are all praying for service opportunities and chances to share the gospel with others :)
Love you all! Have an amazing week! Be safe!
Love,
Sister Lesser
Mom:
Thank you so much for the packages! We love the CD's and the Halloween decorations/candy and the shirt and the sheet music and everything! Getting packages is so fun :) It's still been pretty hot in Dixon, though it is starting to cool down just a bit, now we're in low 90's instead of high 90's :)
I'm so glad to hear that Tyson planned a family home evening!! I know that if you guys have family home evening every week that you will see more happiness and peace in the home :)
So on Friday we had interviews with President Alba, and he pretty much just came out and told me that I'm getting transferred next week, so I'll e-mail you next week and let you know when I find out where I'm going :)
haha, grandma sent me pictures of the little frenchies/oldies, I can't wait to see what they look like when they grow up!
I'm glad that everything is going good at home, I hope that you guys are staying healthy and safe. Have a great week! Love you!
Mandee:
It's good to hear that you're doing good and that you had lots of fun with your friends at Lagoon. You and that Jock kid look cute together :) I can see it! When does your play start? What part of the song is your solo? Have you figured out how to sent videos yet? You should send me your recital video and then record your solo and send it to me :) have a great week!
Grandma Nana:
Thank you for all of the cute pictures! Bracken has gotten so big! Haha, it sounds like you guys are having all kinds of fun with the dogs! I guess it will be a learning experience and you guys will make sure to keep an eye on those dogs better!
It's good to hear that Marilyn is getting a job again and that she's met a good guy! Hope that everything works out!
How has everything else been? Do you guys have any fun plans coming up? Have a great week, love you!
