Happy Valentine's Month

Hello lovely people,

This week we got super good news! Eric got approved by the first presidency of the church to get baptized! When we got the call from our mission president we were shaking and speechless. We got to call him that night and tell him and he instantly started spurting out who he wanted to do what and when and how! He has already given everyone assignments and he chose his date! The church will be gaining the coolest new member on February 18th!  The members in our ward are so excited. All of us have been waiting months for this. Woohoo!

Grecia was also able to come to church this week and she chose the 18th to be baptized as well. She is super shy so she only wants us and her family to be there. She has the strongest testimony already and we have only been teaching her for 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure she has gotten every LDS/mormon app ever created on her Ipad but its awesome because it helps her to understand the Book of Mormon. 

I was reading in Mosiah this week when Abinadi is preaching to King Noah and his priests and all the sudden it just hit me how truly incredible Abinadi is. 

He was called of God to cry repentance and he refused to stop or deny his message even when he was threatened to be put to death. As I was reading I was thinking and questioning Abinadi's purpose. I realized that he suffered death just so that one person named Alma could learn of Christ and the atonement. Alma took Abinadi's words and wrote them down and converted hundreds.

Abinadi never got to see the fruits of his labors and I don't think he cared. He knew what he was supposed to do and without any hesitation he fulfilled his calling. I know God has an important purpose for all of us and if we listen to his prompting we will be able to touch hundreds and thousands of people.

Sorry this email is short! I love you all so much! I hope each of you have a fantastic week! 

Love 

Sister Nye
