i is for investigator!

Well everyone.. ground breaking news is about to come forth! After three weeks of diligently seeking for someone to bring unto Christ.. We FINALLY FOUND HER! The best part? She's our investigator Fernanda's twin sister! We'll be baptizing twins.. no worries :) Double the work, double the blessings :) haha! We are so excited about it! She's been living a crazy life in her short 20 years, but she says she's ready to change and become closer to God. Lucky for us, that's our specialty! Helping others come closer to their Heavenly Father! It's a match made in heaven that's for sure :) 

Fernanda is doing well! We're still on date for her to be baptized on the 28th (two weeks! EEEK!) She's reading the Book of Mormon like a champ.. already in Alma! She's keeping her commitments like crazy still which we couldn't be happier about! She is having some struggles as far as boys go.. but we taught her the law of chastity and hopefully things will be good to go! 

Courtney! She's doing so great! She set a baptism date for herself.. are you ready?? Drum roll please..... March 7th!!! Say whaaa?? We were so shocked that it's so soon! But of course, we're not questioning it :) She is seriously the strongest girl I know. She's been through so many trials lately, but she's just going with it. She trusts that God will direct her in the right path. 

Valentines Day aka Singles Awareness Day for missionaries was sooo fun! We treated ourselves to Olive Garden with a few other sisters! It was the best! We got "heart attacked" on our door by some other sisters in our hallway.. they taped chocolate hearts to our door and since then, we hear people come up to our door and try to quietly take the chocolate.. haha we love it :) 

Overall, it's been a great week! We're super grateful that Heavenly Father blessed us with a new investigator. Our hard work paid off! I definitely have a strong testimony of diligence now. It's so important to keep pushing through those hard times! I'm so grateful to know that I have a loving Heavenly Father who is so aware of me and my needs. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.. prayer is real! It truly does work! I'm so grateful for the chance I have to talk to my Father in Heaven every single day, any time I want. What a blessing! Thank you all for your kind emails, thoughts, and letters! (I really like the letters!) I hope you know that I love you all :) .. almost as much as I love being a missionary! (just kidding mom) haha. Have the best week everyone.. remember.. miracles happen! :) 

Love Always,
Sister Scarlet Stevenett
