Hi everyone,JACOB!!! woo woo congratulations!! I knew that Father wouldn't forget you. Just as the scriptures say, " and the lord remembered Rachel.." He remembered His Jacob. I am so proud of you. I tell everyone about you. I hope you can feel the prayers that are sent up for you every night. Ha Ha now you can speak with the tongue of a spanish angel :)Our companionship is now three...it's me, Sis. Furner still, and sis. Benfield. Sis. Benfield is wonderful. I love having her around;she is definitely a blessing.We have been experiencing something new with our previous DL becoming a zone leader. It's been....well.... It is interesting to see how different people view leadership. It is nice to see when they come to understand the role of a great leader is to encourage, lift, inspire, and bless...until then, we all have to "bear with patience our afflictions".Currently we are teaching a man named David from China. He told us how he changed his life through christianity and now leads his owns bible studies. We are trying to help him accept the restored gospel which, is proving to be somewhat difficult in that he holds dear many incorrect ideas. Before we even began teaching him, he asked us to pray for his parents who are reading the bible for the 1st time...perhaps to also become christian. This was so important to him. We have prayed for them throughout the week as we told him we would. It has been a beautiful experience. We are teaching a lot of Asians. I love them! It would be so great to live in Korea, Japan, China, or Vietnam for a time to build up the Kingdom.Seeing the goodness of people is so wonderful. I feel overcome with joy & reverence. This week our RC Jasmine Fenn-who is terrified of doing anything in front of people- gave a talk in church about repentance!!!! I was so happy to see such growth in her!I was brought to think of how our King must feel when he sees us grow and change. Ahhhh, sweet is the peace the gospel brings.
Love, Sister Colvin
