Hello everyone!
This week we had an amazing miracle! There is a group of junior boys that are all super good friends in the ward and they have one nonmember friend named Jake who is super interested in learning about the church. We were able to set up a lesson with Jake and all of his member friends were there too! We taught the Restoration and it went SUPER WELL!! The Spirit was so strong when I quoted the first vision and Jake said he believes Joseph Smith is a prophet! At the end, I asked if he came to know this was true if he would be baptized and he said YES! Then I asked if he would prepare to be baptized on February 7th (Sister Larsen and I prayed about a date before the lesson) and he said he wasn't sure but he would think about it.
We had another lesson with him on Friday and Jake read the Book of Mormon intro and testimonies of the witnesses and Joseph Smith. He also prayed about it and said he felt really happy!! He is so elect! We taught the Plan of Salvation and he said it all made sense! He also watched virtual church on Sunday and he said he really liked it! He said he is coming in person next week! We are super excited about Jake!!!!
Okay now time for a fun story :) I woke up thinking it was time to get up and sat up in bed. I looked over and saw that Sister Larsen was still asleep so I was like oh dear so I said, "Sister Larsen, are you awake?" Then she woke up really quick and sat up in her bed too and she was saying, "I can't believe I fell back asleep after the alarm!" Then after a little bit I was like, "Wait what time is it?" and Sister Larsen looked at her phone and said "It's 1:30" so we went back to bed haha. This is not the first time that has happened either lol.
We have been able to go inside some members' houses this week which has been fun! We also recently got a blender so I've been making smoothies every day. Other than that, not very much happened. I'm loving my mission!
Love, Sister Megan Young
