Sister Madeline Brown: Week 26 - Papillion

Hola!!!!

This week it was 87° and miserably humid. Bugs are EVERYWHERE. We aren't sure where spring went, it just skipped right to summer.

We are teaching some awesome people here in Omaha!

Francisco is a younger guy who's first language is actually Spanish, but he speaks super good English, so we get to teach him instead of the Spanish Elders. He has a friend/co-worker who is serving her mission in Las Vegas and she sent him a Book of Mormon a while ago which he started reading! Then we knocked on his door and told him about the Book of Mormon and he was like, "oh yeah I'm reading that and trying to figure out if its true." So we set up a return appointment. We've been teaching him since then and he is AMAZING! he feels the spirit so strong and has a great testimony of the Book of Mormon and really wants to just follow the savior. When it's the right time, it's the right time. This is truly the Lords work, I am just being his hand here on earth to help guide his children.

We also had a baptism on Saturday for Kim and Savannah!!! We worked with them for a long time and they both have such strong testimonies. You can feel the light and love of Christ so strong through them and their desire to serve and do what's right.

Unfortunately, Nicholas, the crazy one we were teaching hasn't been showing up to meetings or answering his phone, and he told us if that happens he might be dead. So we pray that he is alright...that's all we can do.

I seriously love being a missionary. I love sharing the gospel with everyone and every day I learn more and more about Jesus Christ. He is our Savior, our Redeemer, and our Brother.

Love you all!!!
