Temple Trip with Lenay

Temple Trip with Lenay's family 

7-14-15 

Well, here's da shcoop! 

So, this last week we got to go to the temple with Lenay! haha this is the 2nd time I've done a temple tour at the temple and it was great! Lenay really loved it. She felt the spirit really strong, even though her daughter had to use the bathroom almost right off the get go, so we had to kinda expedite the tour, but it all worked out in the end! What I'm mostly excited is for the time wich is just about a year from now, when i'll get to come back to florida, and go to the temple, because lenay will be going through! super exciting. 

And as well, church this last sunday was really awesome! Maria (the sweet old cuban lady that gave up all of her coffee) was finally able to go, she overcame her strange little fear of church, just enough to come, and it was fun! :) she walked around smiling at everyone, and then went in and sat down with this sister who's been helping us teach. and when she was first there, she said, i'm only going to stay for the first hour.(we had told her about all 3). and so we decided not to push her, and so we had sacrament meeting, and then after that was over we said, "how was it?" she was like, ooooh i LOVED it! so, that next class how long is it for? and we told her, and she was like, ok. i'll stay for that class. So we go to gospel principals, and we have the class, and at the end, she was like, "wow that was amazing! i'm going to third hour!" ahahaha. This just goes to show, that the spirit is the best teacher. we could have told maria all about what the classes were like, but she would have never known, until she went. we asked her after church was over what she thought and she was like, wow i absolutely loved it! haha and i said, now aren't you glad you came? and she said yes! and then we asked her if she was going to come next week and she said of course!

Well, I love you guys!

can't wait to talk to you all next week!
