Dear friends and family,
Hi! Had a great week in Vacaville! Thank you to Kristen Parker and Mom and Dad for the letters this week, as well as my family for the package!! :) I appreciate and love the letters.
Well, I am running short on time today so I won't be able to write much, but we had a great week! We met the High Expectations every day this week (20.3.1.) and picked up 2 super solid new investigators named Blake and Gabriel! Blake came to church and really enjoyed it.
Blake used to Jehovah's Witness but didn't agree with it and left, and is super open to reading and praying about the Book of Mormon! Gabriel was found on exchanges so I haven't met him yet, but at first he was "Atheist" but as we talked with him his heart softened and he said he wants to find out if God is real and wants to get baptized!!
Yay!! Miracles! Life is so so good. Sister Belnap and I both are hard workers and love the high expectations, so we have a blast together!
We sometimes bicker like old people haha (reminds me of me and Alicia Ferrin when we were little) but we love each other and are working our hardest!
We had to move Max's baptismal date to March 28th because he is a slower mover, but I am excited for him, even though I won't be there for his :/ He is amazing. And so funny haha. We also are starting to teach his caretaker, Nick!! Yay!!! We are meeting with him tonight.
I had exchanges with Sister Rodriguez in the 2nd ward and it was so much fun! She set a great example for me to follow the Spirit. It was neat because I truly just felt the calming influence of the Spirit the whole time. I asked how Sis. Rodriguez calls upon the Spirit and she told me that we have the ability to draw as much or as little of the Spirit in as we want to. It made me realize that I need to draw upon the Spirit more than I do most days. And not to get annoyed at little things but just let it all go and draw the Spirit in.
This week was so good! Man it just FLEW by. I can't really remember much else...just know I a, working hard and trying to come closer to my Savior and my Heavenly Father and help others come closer to Them, too :)
Love you!! You are magnificent, make good choices this week!
Love,
Sister Nikole Decker
