Sister Chambers: Bore her testimony. Joined 40 years
ago. [she is about 83 I think] Taught by an elder from Rexburg. Her son, who was already a member, was
getting ready to go on a mission, confirmed her. That has always meant a lot to her. Heavenly Father guides us and wants us to be
happy. The Gift of the Holy Ghost is a
great blessing to her.
Sister Jensen: got
her visa to Brazil. She loves
desserts. Always wants more. Not good for obvious reasons! Something out there is better….the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. We are missionaries. The opportunity to partake of this spiritual
feast….the Gospel…..changes lives. I
know, it has changed mine. If you
desire, here it is in its fullness. The
Gospel of Jesus Christ—it is true--it is real--and it works. Apply it in your life.
Convert message: Brother and Sister Portillo----she had been an inactive
member for many years. Her husband was a recent convert. (baptized
12/21/13). They have a high regard for
the missionaries. She had grown up in
and out of various churches. Baptized
when she was 9. Inactive for many, many
years. Elder Horlacher taught them. The message he shared will change their lives
forever. They had forgotten that God is
always there. When baptized, Elder
Horlacher said Welcome Home. Their
goal, someday they want to visit Elder Horlacher, walk through the
door and say Welcome Home to him. Did
the I LOVE YOU sign in sign language…said, we love you Elder Horlacher.
Convert message: Arlina Philips, baptized 12/7/2013. Thankful for missionaries. That they take time out of their lives to
serve. Elder Bird met her when she was
walking home from school. Sent sister
missionaries to visit with her. It took
a few months….she didn’t feel she was ready.
Missionaries kept coming by, telling her she was beyond ready to be
baptized. She is especially thankful for
Elder Bird, that he stopped to talk to her that day.
Elder Bird: I will be
returning to Spanish Fork, Utah. This
has been a once in a lifetime opportunity to serve a mission. He and his companion had had a prayer to
have someone who was ready put in their path that day. Met Arlina walking home from school. His message to other missionaries….people are
out there who are ready. While on his
mission, he learned what the Gospel of Jesus Christ really is…..learned in the
last 6 months of his mission. One man,
named Siri….has a painful knee, yet offered to help a neighbor move, up and down
many stairs…….what kept him going was that he knew it was painful for Christ to carry the cross. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is about serving
others. Elder Bird made a promise that he will always live the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Elder Horlacher: Bore his testimony. Jesus Christ is the
perfect example to follow.
