Serving Others

Jaydan helped tear down a members fence. He loves doing service for others.

This week Jaydan shared two cool stories. Jaydan and his comp found some people to teach. The dad has a hard time walking because of his back. After they talked they asked the dad to pray. The prayer was really good and the "spirit" was really strong. The dad was crying after and the missionaries asked him how he felt. His reply was that he felt so great. He said that he never cries but he was letting it happen. The next time they talked with them the dad, Franci, was tearing up off and on throughout the discussion. His wife was tearing up too. The Bishop was there with the missionaries this time too and the home was filled with the "Spirit." Jaydan loves going to that house because they have had some great spiritual experiences. The missionaries asked Franci to pray to know if the Church and the Book of Mormon were true and he said that he already knew they were. "Holy Cow such a great family of 5 and 4 can be baptized." (Jaydan's exact words)

Jaydan went over to an inactive members house and the dad was out working in the yard. Jaydan and his comp started helping him pull weeds. They asked the guy, Morcelo how he was doing. Marcelo told them that he wasn't doing good. Him and his wife had seperated again and he had been in a car accident where his friend was thrown 10 or more meters from the car. Marcelo only had a few scratches and wasn't hurt that bad. While the missionaries were there talking to him his wife, Ana, showed up. Marcelo felt like the missionaries were a sign from God. That God had something more for him in this life since he wasn't even hurt and the missionaries were there testifying to him. Him and Ana promised to go to Church and get back on track. They said when they were going to Church that they felt closer to each other and their jobs were going good too but when they stopped things weren't so good. Jaydan said they are working with Marcelo to help him prepare himself so that he can baptize his son. His son is 9 years old and awesome. He would read the scriptures that the missionaries had asked the parents to read. He would do that on his own. Jaydan is excited to see the change in this family.

Jaydan said that they have found about three great families to teach and he gets excited when that happens. He mentioned that changes are coming up and wonders what will happen to him.

He loves us all SOOOOOOOOO much!
