Eternal Blessings
So remember how I said the other day I was searching on facebook for people I had taught on my mission? Well I found some!!!! First of all I found one of my coverts -George and his wife -Alice! I wrote his address down wrong somehow so I wrote him a few times on my mission with his right address but I lost it! so I had not heard from him and his wife Alice since I got home! So we became friends on facebook and he gave me his number! so I called him and got to talk to him and his wife! George is doing fantastic! He has 2 callings, he recently received the Melchizedek priesthood and he is starting his temple prep classes in 2 weeks!!! George used to be a minister, but one day he found truth and joy in the gospel of Jesus Christ! It was so fun to talk to him and see that he's doing so good and loving the gospel! :) Another person i found was Leon Clevinger! This is a fun story....Leon is also a covert! He was doing really good, he had just gone to the temple and then one day he just disappeared! Sister Stevens and I went over to his house one night and it was dark...but We went and knocked on the door the lights were on inside but it was silent. Then his dog, Summer, comes out acting really weird...like the kind of weird you see when something bad happens in movies and the animals go psycho. So I was a bit scared! She acts like she wants us to follow her though so we move slowly and she guides us to the back door which is standing wide open. A knife sitting on the ground and Leon's phone sitting on the table. So at this point I'm thinking the worst. The only light we can see is one in the house and a red light in the back yard. Summer keeps backing up..So I walk in, my companion thinks I'm crazy still to this day..but I had to see if Leon was there and if he was ok! So I do a quick search, but found nothing, so we run to the car and get out of there. We never saw Leon again...but I found him on Facebook! He's still alive :) then there's Travis. Travis is an investigator still he's agnostic, but he's super awesome! And it was a miracle how we found him and even though he didn't know it, he showed so much faith by coming to baptisms and taking the lessons! I know he felt the spirit, I'm just not sure he understood it. Hopefully he will one day! Then there was Dan! He was an investigator who was supposed to get baptized and then he just disappeared! I taught him my 3rd transfer! So a little less than a year ago, and then I found him on Facebook and talked to him about what happened. He said he still wants to get baptized some day! So a boring snow day turned into an awesome missionary work day! I love missionary work! It truly makes me happy :)
