"I can't tonight, it's my mom's birthday"

This week has been a week of miracles,

First Miracle....Eddie Fonua!

So, Thursday Feb 20 we tracted into this 18 year old kid named Eddie.  We taught him the Restoration on his doorstep and he said, yeah that's awesome, he's read the BoM and has been praying about baptism, and then he went on to explain that Elder Penney and Elder Baxter had taught him that.....that's right...THEY POACHED!! Anyway, I'm over that now.....anyway, we texted them pretending to be super upset about it and they said we could have him.  We thought, alright, we'll check up on him sometime....Fast forward to Monday.  We get a call from the elders and they say Eddie just called and said he wanted to get baptized!!! But he "can't tonight because it's his moms birthday!" haha...oh we can help you, we thought!

So we taught him, and still let the Elders be involved, and he was baptized last Friday by his Best Friend Cory Richardson!! He is incredible!! He honestly has so much faith, he doesn't fully understand everything, but he knows that the Church is true, and the rest will come!! I've never grown so close so quickly to an investigator!! He's awesome!!!

Miracle #2....The Hess Kids

This last Thursday, Feb 27 we were tracting again, and we knocked into this member family that is in the Lacey Spanish branch!!  The Mino's family! They are awesome!! Anyway, we asked them about the Hess family and they said, yeah, we're like best friends with them, so seconds later Caleb calls, and they tell him to come over, and we end up teaching him a super awesome lesson, then, yesterday we taught him and his sister the full Restoration, and they are tentatively on date for the 16!!

Miracle #3....Linda Goolsby

Linda is a referral from Spanish that has been in Utah for weeks visiting her Mormon boyfriend.  She called us last night and asked the soonest time that she could be baptized, so she also is on date for the 16th!!!

Man the work truly is just hastening like crazy!!!! The Lord is preparing his people and I'm lucky enough to have a part in helping them come into the gospel!!

There were so many other miracles this week, but if I kept going I would have a forever long email, and I wouldn't have time to finish....so that's all I'm going to share for now!!! I hope you all have a great week!!

I LOVE YOU so much!!!!

Love,

Sister Thomas
