La is a total miracle - she has accepted everything we've asked of her, and overcome every trial.
We are still getting so many dinners!
O and his wife C are good - church still isn't first priority, but they are starting to ask very inspired questions.
We have called and talked to some really awesome people that want to meet us.
I am learning to really follow the spirit and endure!!
I went to my first MLC this week, and we talked all about being a Preach my Gospel mission - it was interesting to hear all the comments and people's opinions, but it was really, really awesome. I loved the spirit and power in a room full of missionaries. I get to do a couple more meetings this week...(We definitely believe in meetings in this church!) and am excited for La to be able to be interviewed for baptism!!
Also, I played the piano at Zone Conference, and it was great. I love President and Sister Simmons. They truly love us.
The gospel is so true, I love thinking of enduring as Christ centered, and as a way to become more like Him. There was this really good quote from my studies that I liked about Enduring to the End. And, we talked a lot about it this week at our Zone Conference! Enduring to the End is kind of like a tornado shape - we keep circling through the gospel of Jesus Christ, and we get closer and closer to God and more and more like Christ as we do so. Elder Maynes (of the 70...not my Mission President!!) said that " Endurance is an important principle found within the doctrine of Jesus Christ. It is important because the quality of our eternal future is proportional to our ability to endure in righteousness." I thought that was very profound. The gospel is centered on our Savior, whom I love more than anything. I know that God is in charge of this work. I'm grateful that I get to be an instrument here, and that I get to give my all to Him!
Have a great week!!
Love,
Sister Crabb
We asked her about the lady who fainted that she mentioned in last week's letter and how often they taught the Gospel Principles Sunday School class and these are her responses: Yah, it was just a random stranger who fainted in our arms. She was walking up a hill after donating blood and she just fell. Then, she said she was fine, so I grabbed her to help her walk, and she passed out again and almost fell flat on her face, I just grabbed her shoulders and helped her down to the ground. It was a crazy experience! We actually normally don't teach gospel principles - but we have taught the last 2 Sundays because a lot of expats (including our ward missionaries) were out of town for the summer.
