Dear favorite mom.
I'm glad Baby Creed was blessed last Sunday and that so many family members showed up. =) Its amazing what God blesses us with isn't it?
Well alot has happened this week. But I feel like I should write a little bit what happen a couple weeks ago. I didn't want to share it before but now that I have been seeing gods hands in things that have happen I feel like I should share whats going on. Alright a couple weeks ago I had a very hard time with some of the things that were going on and things are going to sound a little dark when I say them at first but in the end you see gods hands come into play. It was a beautiful day outside at about 5:00 Sunday. We decided that we were going to go and see this lady named Tina who hasn't gone to church for a couple years. We have had a couple other appointments with her before but none like this one. So we knock on her door and her son lets us in and we meet her older son and older daughter for this first time and everything was going well. They then went down stairs and we started to talk with Tina a little bit about her patriartical blessing because we had an ex-patriarch with us. But as we were talking I kept hearing all this noise coming from down stairs. (Such as banging against the wall, glass breaking and the F word 100 times) I finally couldn't handle it anymore and said Tina I think you should make sure everything is going OK downstairs? (I guess she couldn't really hear anything but I'm still not sure if she was acting like it.) So she went down stairs and we just started to hear all this yelling and a couple other words. Finally the daughter came back upstairs and went into her room and Tina came in a little up set. I stood up and looked at straight in the eye's and asked if everything was OK. She looked at me and was nodding yes but then started to get teary eyed. So we all set back down and she started to talk to us a little bit again and we could tell that her son was being abusive by that time because of how she was acting and I started to ask if this stuff happen all the time and she just said it did sometimes. We then started to hear more crying and could tell that the son was by her daughter again and the daughter kept whispering please stop, please stop you have to be quite. The son continued to be angry and outraged. The patriarch was totally calm during this time and I'm not sure if it was because of his old age or what and then out of the blue the patriarch asked "Well Tina is there a time that we can set that we can come back" And oh man was I mad! Right when he said that I cut him off and said "No! Tina are you OK right now?" and continued to talk with her and was just mad that the patriarchs biggest worry right then was another appointment. . . A few seconds later we heard another glass break and Tina said I'll be right back and walked off again. I felt like he was being abusive to the daughter again and I couldn't handle it anymore. My heart started to pump my blood started to flow my hand started to squeeze tighter and tighter. . . That's when I stood up and said " I'm sick of this." I was going to kill the kid. I started to walk around the table (My companion later on told me that my chest was pumped way out too) and I started to walk towards the door when I heard the most piercing "ELDER!" that I have ever heard on my mission. I heard it so strong that I literally stopped right where I was and looked back thinking my companion said that but when I looked back at him he looked all puzzled like as if to say "Why did you stop? Lets go kill this guy." Then I looked at the patriarch and he was just moving up and down on his rocking chair so I know he didn't say it. I then sat back down wanting so badly to go get that guy. A little bit later she came out and I asked if I could go talk with her and she told me no not right now. So we left and it was just in my mind all day. I didn't know what to do. I felt like this biggest wimp and felt like I did the wrong things. I kept thinking why did I not go and stop this. I later on asked my companion why he yelled at me and told me to stop when he said "Elder" To my surprise he said that he never said anything. He then told me a little on his view and he said that he was confused when I turned around like I did. But he never heard anyone say "Elder!" I feel like now that the Holy Ghost for what ever reason didn't want me to go over there. But your never going to believe what happen in a few weeks =)
Part 2. A few weeks later we decided to go back again and to our surprise Tina was very very happy. We started to talk with her and she said that her prayers were answered. (So were ours) But she told us that her son moved out because he finally was able to get a job as being a chef and her daughter moved out to her new apartment. So now its just her and her 10 year old son and they are just loving life and we are now able to have lessons with her when ever we want. God pretty much just said " OK here you go. I took them out so that they will now be able to be taught." We are always able to feel the spirit there every time we go. We love those guys =) It took me so long to get over what happen too. I felt like for so long that I made the wrong choice by not going and stopping them. I don't know what would have happen. But after hearing this things went so much better for me. I wish I could have gone into more detail but I have to go.
I love you my mom =)
