Dear Family and Friends!
The weeks are really starting to fly by! Today is the
start of week 6 in this transfer!? What? It doesn't feel like it at all! We
will find out who is being transferred this Saturday. I am not ready to leave
Beaufort or Sister Clouse yet!
Alex was baptized by her Grandfather Saturday March 22!
She is so sweet and has such a strong testimony! We saw/taught her every day
this week. During one of the prayers she said "Thank you Heavenly Father
for letting me have all my sins be washed away..." Sister Clouse and I
both got teary eyed. It’s so beautiful to know that at 9 she understands! She
is so strong and a great example to her family! :) We just love her so much!
Both Sister Clouse and I gave talks at her baptism. It went very well! Her Dad
even came!!! :) She was just glowing the entire time! I am so grateful that I
got to be one of the missionaries to 'teach' her, because I've learned so much
from her.
Last week the Marine's Silent Drill Platoon and
Commander's Own band (stationed in DC) performed on base. Apparently it’s a
real treat to see them, so some ward members took all of us missionaries to see
them! It was pretty cool and we even got to take pictures with them! :) Many of
them were really curious about our missions, so it was great contacting work
too! :)
We are still teaching Kim Greenwell. She is great! Her
husband (the member) told us that he feels she will join eventually; she just
feels an obligation to remain Catholic because of her Dad. Improvement! Woot
woot! They don't have children so we have "become" their children in
a sense. It’s really fun to make deep connections with the people you are
serving! I love the people in Beaufort so much! Missionary work is all about
love. No one is going to get baptized unless they feel and know you love them.
Charity is the Christ like attribute that every missionary talks about the
most! It is the most desirable and prayed for one too. As a companionship we
have been praying for Charity and we both have noticed a big difference in
EVERYTHING!!! I would encourage you and your families to pray for Charity
together. :)
I love you all very much! Keep up
the hard work and don't forget to smile! :) Also congrats to my parents: Ron
and Sharon Rex for receiving their mission call to Boston Massachusetts Temple!
I am WAY excited for them! Luv ya!
