Stand and Fight

Howdy,> So things are just blissful here in Encino Park. Sister Snow and I> still cannot believe that we are lucky enough to be serving together!! We> just mesh. There is no other way to put it. We look at the work the same.> We think about everything the same. We realize that this time is the> greatest blessing ever and it probably wont last long. We have set really> great goals. We have been working hard and having fun all the time. We are> just going to step up our game even more. We're going to study in our free> time and take advantage of this time we have together as best we can.> But, poor sister snow got a stomach virus thing. We had to stay in on> Tuesday and she tried to push through it on Wednesday and we went out, then> we went to urgent care on Thursday. And she was healed by Friday! It was> a miracle. And we were both SUPER antsy. I never want to have to stay in> again. It was miserable. Just staying in all day instead of seeing people> and talking to people and doing the work, made us stir crazy. But, it was an> incredible week none the less. Because even though we weren't able to work,> the lord was. He's alot better at this than we are anyways.> So I must tell you about Tracy (husband) and Carmin (wife) Dawson.> They have two kids David (22) and Nina (18). And Tracy and Carmin are> WONDERFUL!! I was reading in Jesus The Christ about his parables. I read> about the parable of the sower and how the seed was good, but it depended on> whether or not the ground was good or prepared as to whether or not the seed> took root and flourished. What we do is talk to people with all types of> ground. And it is our job to discern the type of ground the people> have. Everyone can have good ground with more preparation, and different> experiences with us can help prepare their ground, from falling by the way> side, to stony places, to the weed-encumbered field, and then the clean rich> mold receptive and fertile grounds. Tracy and Carmin are the fertile> ground. Tracy was in the military for a long time and Carmin is from> Germany. They have both gone to many many different churches, and they saw> alot of the hypocrisy. Last Sunday at church we had an amazing restoration> lesson and Carmin was a little quiet. We talked to her and she said, well I> guess I know now. and she was quiet cause the spirit had testified that she> would have to start living the word of wisdom. None of this from us. They> honestly just soak EVERYTHING up. They have downloaded the mormon channel> app onto their I-phone and they've been listening to talks and the> scriptures. They took home a gospel principles book yesterday and have> already read through most of it. They are incredible. I love them and I am> so grateful for their amazing example of true faith. please pray for> them!! and pray for their son David. He's come across a LOT of anti. He> told his parents that we are fanatics and are trying to brain wash them.> So we always joke about it. And they called him out and told him that he> didn't know any real facts. They're great they have been prepared. being a> missionary is the best thing in the world. Because its true. Other wise we> would totally just be fanatics trying to brain wash people. But, thankfully> we don't have to because they can pray and the spirit teaches the truth and> we just get to be lucky bi-standards.>> I love you all!! Hope everything is great!!! I have realized more than ever> that the adversary is real, there are alot of big non-denominational church> that spread alot of anti in this area, so we just step up our game. The> truth will prevail and God's ways will never be frustrated! So stand and> fight!! There is no greater cause!>> Love YA> your> Sister Kimi michelle Rooney
