Hey ya'all :)
I am just beaming today!!!!! This morning has been a great morning and I
enjoyed a great personal study filled with the spirit. It makes the whole day
great when the morning study is great.
I did get my eyes checked and no glasses yet. We are going today to a place
in Chessapeake that said for first timers it's 2 pair for 90 dollars? Someone
said that means just frames but we will see Josh thought it was the whole
package deal. I guess the bulk of the blur is the astigmatism and my vision was
like -.5 so not bad at all. I feel bad even making a fuss about this but I have
had a continued headache for a while now and she said it should help. Trying on
the glasses with the right prescription made my vision better so I'm gonna get
some for sure.
Thanks for telling me to breathe mom, did I ever tell you who else does
that? You and Claire are pretty good at keeping me relaxed and telling me to
breathe, I love that!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man Island park sounds fun, what does Tanner do when you go up there?
You guys are lucky to go and do stuff like that!
Haha that made me smile at what you said about that movie, the world is
headed in a bad direction for sure. Read 1 nephi 13 and 14 and watch what will
happen to those who hold silk and fine twined linnen and harlots above the
things of God. "REPENT OR THEY WILL BE DESCROYED" -Elder Monibidor
Dad, great job! I heard you did great! I knew you would! Elder Monibidor
spoke yesterday in the YSA branch as well. I will also give Josh my card with a
picture of my shoes that he can email you I'm sorry I spaced bringing my camera
today.
This week has been another really great one. As always, we felt the
spirit testify to our investigators and we saw lives changed. Esmeralda was
baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a cool baptism the spirit
was there and she was glowing. She was baptized by her husband who was less
active but he has been back for like a couple months. He was a Teacher so
he asked me to ordain him to the office of Priest in the Aaronic Priesthood.
That happened like 10 min before the baptism so we ordained him, he baptized her
and the night was just great. Yesterday she was confirmed and is on her way! She
understands very well and she even confessed that she felt bad that she had a
soda the other day haha funny. She was just kidding but she has seen so many
blessings from repenting and changing her life.
Daniel is a YSA who we have been struggling to convert. He feels the spirit
but still wouldn't let go of apostolic succession right? (former Atheist, then
Roman Catholic, now Byzantine Catholic) a tough cookie to crack. We took him to
a members home who was Catholic and this member "lovingly tore apart the
Catholic Church" as I explained it to other missionaries. HAHA! He went into
their own books and showed how it's not possible, and in a loving way, using
DandC 121 and the docrine of rights powers and authority. We set Daniel for
August 4th! The spirit was so strong! I could feel it over the table like a
mist. I choked up because it was so strong and we asked him how he felt and he
told us the spirit was there. COOL!! Then Bro. Schoppaul said the kicker, (he's
on the high counsel, a very very inspired man) "from the moment you walked into
my house, I saw the bounce in your step and the genuine look in your eye, and I
knew you would be a righteous priesthood holder in Christ's church" I believe
that to be inspired, the spirit confirmed it. We are keeping daily contact and
he's gonna be one stud of a Stake President someday!!!! :)
Well, there's some highlights. I love you guys!
Love,
Elder Skyler Mark Andreasen
P.S. I choose Christ
