Savior of the World

Hello everyone! 

This week was really great :)

1. We got a golden investigator from a chat on mormon.org. We've already taught her twice and we have another appointment with her scheduled for Monday. She's super sweet and is a senior in college, she had talked to missionaries before years ago but wasn't ready - well, she's ready now!! We're really excited about her.

2. Gabriel is getting baptized! It was originally scheduled for this weekend, but we're moving it to next because his brother is coming into town for a visit that he just found out about. We're so excited for him!! We're going to try and Skype into his baptism. We're pumped :)

3. Carole is getting baptized *hopefully* this December! She's really progressing, but she really wants to study out the Book of Mormon. She loves the Bible and is learning to love the Book of Mormon. She loves Releif Society and is really sweet.

4. Celia and her husband are getting married! And then baptized in December with her family too! (Hopefully)

5. Mario is on date for December 15! He is loving church so far, and his son loves primary. 

A lot of exciting things happening around here! We try our best to remain optimistic about all of our investigtors and really help them as best we can. It's fun being here on Temple Square because we find ourselves in all phases of missionary work - the sower, the nurturer, and the harvester. You never know who you'll meet that day on Square, but everyone could come a little closer to Christ. We recently got to see the new Light the World video, and we're so excited for Christmas season. The lights and the nativites are almost all up and they'll be lit the day after Thanksgiving! We got to go to a performance of "Savior of the World" in the Conference Center yesterday, it's a musical about the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was phenomenal, and it really made me think about how grateful I am for my Savior. He's called the Savior of the World, but He's also my personal Savior. He really knows me and each of my investigators, as well as each of you, by name. He knows our struggles and our trials, our gifts and our strengths. I love that Ican turn to Him and to my Heavenly Father whenever I am weak, and be lifted and made stronger.

I love you all and I hope you have a great week!

Love,

Sister Black
