Hello everyone!
So, Marsing! ... which really isn't Marsing.
Aewsome story: so, we cover Marsing 2nd ward, yeah? We
cover all of that. Marsing 2nd ward is comprised of Caldwell, Nampa,
Greenleaf, Wilder, and Houston. Ironically enough, it actually doesn't
cover any part of Marsing itself. Sister Longhurst calls it the Land of
Misfit toys. haha I love it!
Anyways, this week has been super fun! :) The
adventures have started! I'm learning what it's like to live on a
farm. And in the middle of nowhere. Totally loving it. :)
On Wednesday, we went to the Lambsons, a recently
re-activated family. Their son, Korbin, just got baptized, and they
recently went to the temple to be sealed as a family! Anyways, we went
over to their home and helped her with some of the farm chores, like milking
the cows and filling the silohs. It was so much fun! :) Afterwards,
we had a lesson with Sister Lambson and Korbin about tithing and fast
offering. He was super cute. :)
Let's see.... um... who else....
Oh! On Saturday I met two of our investigators:
Kristie and Laura. Kristie Crawford is the daughter-in-law of Sue Church,
a member of the ward. She's married to a less-active man (whom I have not
had the pleasure of meeting yet), and they have the cutest little boy named
Christopher, who is 2. She's so awesome! :D We were thinking about
sharing the Restoration with her, but when we sat down to share our message,
Sister Longhurst felt like we needed to talk about prayer instead, and it was
exactly what Kristie needed to hear! I'm so glad that we havethe Spirit
to help us and guide us! It helps SO much! We can't do the work without
it! Anyways, Laura is a single lady in her... 70s, I think she
said. Anyways, super nice lady, and she loves our Relief Society
President (who came with us). She was investigating the church, but has
stopped because she wants baptism without joining a church. We decided to
share a message on being able to trust in the Lord, and she really appreciated
that. :)
Anyways, Sunday was really good too-- we had 3 investigators
at church! Kristie was there, as well as a lady named Nicole
Hunsaker (who apparantly is GOLDEN, we're just waiting for her to set an
official baptism date), and Andy (whose last name I can't remember, but he's a
bee keeper. Hmmm.... fresh honey, anyone? :D ).
... yup! That's the going-ons of Marsing 2nd ward this
week! It's SO nice to be back to having one ward-- and we're busy enough
for it too. :)
I hope y'all are doing well.... keep up whatever good you
are doing, and keep building your faith! I love all of y'all!
Love,
Sister Empey
