Dang what a crazy week!!
I can only say that my heart was touched to see some great miracles happen this past week. I can only say the Lord has given me so much and at times I feel inadequate for the things he blesses us with. Many different things have happened and I hope I can have them make sense.
For a transfer and a half now I've been constantly praying that God would help us find a prepared people and families through the members. And I'm glad to say that we have found 4 new investigators that are going to be baptized in March. All four of these people were found through our members as well. One of them is named T., and what's interesting about T. is that he's been around with us this whole time! He would participate and listen in on our new member lessons with a recent convert. Well one day he comes to a family home evening activity at the church. Our spanish group leader was giving a lesson on one of the missionary lessons. To my surprise T. actually participated in the lesson! Later on during that night we had a dinner to end with for FHE, and as we ate we taught T. the restoration of the Gospel. He was confused as to why he should be baptized again and when he finally understood the restoration of the authority he accepted to be baptized on March 29. Since then we've visited him a few times and he's progressing well! He's reading and praying and doing everything he should, so he's doing awesome!... You'll never believe how we found the other 3 people. So we just happened to be going to church like normal yesterday, and I finish ward council with Elder Wain and out of no where Elder Lundberg and Elder Corona come up to me and say "We just set up 3 baptism dates for March 14th!!" Now I'm wondering how in the world did they set dates when I was gone for maybe 20-30 minutes?? So I got introduced to this family of three, 2 parents and 1 child, and they are golden!! They were so prepared from the get go!! They had originally moved from Mexico to Phoenix and then from Phoenix to Tulare. The father is a doctor and is still studying and right now they're established on hardly anything here in Tulare. They are basically starting from scratch, I'm not sure where they live but our members know. Soooooo they were barely being taught by missionaries in Mexico, and when they got to Phoenix they couldn't get in contact with a church, but when they got here they were somehow able to get a hold of the Church phone number. They called the phone in Bishops office yesterday morning and said "Hey were looking for a church, could you maybe come pick us up and take us there?" So our branch leader goes, picks them up, introduces them to Elder Corona and Elder Lundberg, gave them a church tour, and invited them to be baptized... Sweet!! Over all I was so happy because I knew the Lord was finding a way to accomplish our goals, and he did!.... Last miracle: So our sisters in Tulare asked us to come and give a blessing to one of their members friends at the hospital last Tuesday. Her name was L. M. She was suffering from dehydration and wasn't in very good shape when we got there, she was cringing from pain on her bed. When Elder Corona and I gave her the blessing she became calm for a short moment. I knew then and there that she would come out okay. The sisters texted us later that night and said that her tests came out normal again, and that she was ready to go home and leave the hospital
So that's really the update on the mish thus far. I'm really happy to hear that West and Mar are doing good. Though the ball team lost their game I'm glad they got through it. Some seasons are better than others, but sports can truly become life lessons. I'm glad they were able to "endure to the end" ;). I'm excited to see summer sports coming around. It's already baseball season? DAng!... I look at J.T and Charleigh and just about everybody and think what the heck??? They're huge! They're getting so big! I can only imagine what they'll look like in a year or so.
Well I'll have to cut this short but I love and miss you much! I keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Be on the look out for opportunities to share the gospel, the Lord's work is truly hastening
I love ya
Elder Horrocks
P.S. There were a few others that wrote me emails that I didn't have enough time to write back. I am happy to hear from you, and I love ya
