Heavenly Father wants us to grow, that's why he lets us have opposition

Hello everyone! 



     This week has been great. I've been staying busy as usual. There are some people who we have made our prime priority . Susan being one of them. We saw her almost everyday. With her just being baptized and not having the Holy Ghost is really scary, but everything worked out i gave her the Holy Ghost yesterday. It was also fast and testimony meeting. Now Susan wrote out a talk to share in sacrament, but instead she just went up there and started baring her testimony. She started talking about her repentance process and then she said something that shocked all of us. She said "alright I have to admit something i have been raped". She said this in front of our whole congregation. I looked down then looked at Stephan and I asked " did she really just say that?" and he said "yes". Susan is still not accustom to what's appropriate to do in church. She claps when ever she likes something or if someone gives a good talk. HAHAHA i love her so much. She also got her temple recommend and were planning to take her to the temple very soon. Our other investigators are doing really well. We have almost taught everything to Shalyn. We set a baptismal date with Lana, she is this really sweet 9 year old Hation girl. She is a part member family. We're planning to see her 2 times a week. Maybe even more. Her English isn't all the way there so we have to take our time with her. Sometimes we have to share a message and then we have her aunt translate most of what we said, but she will for sure get baptized.

So this week Elder Clare and I went to go stop by this referral who wanted a bible. We knocked and she looked over her balcony and we asked if we could share a message and she said no. Just leave the Bible in her Mailbox. Elder Clare asked if she knew anyone who would want a spiritual message. She pointed to the house across the street and said go to his house he is a bad neighbor. We were like, oh no!  We go over, I knock on the door and this irish guy started to just cuss us out and called us a bunch of drunks. He went in his house, then came back out and said, are you Jehovah's Witness. We said no, were LDS and then he continued to cuss us out.  We then walked over and met this African man named James, he was willing to hear a message about Jesus Christ. We got his Info and we're planning to send it to some Brockton Elders. Now that is a perfect example of Opposition. I need to know sadness to understand happiness. 2 Nephi 2:23. Heavenly Father wants us to grow, that's why he lets us have opposition. I love you all.
