Xin chào gia đình!!

Lynblessed part two: 


Monday: 

I got to meet a new recent convert and he just made me so happy! He wants to do what's right even though it's so hard. 


Tuesday: 

We got news that John Prowse can be baptized!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 


Wednesday: 

John Prowse joined one of our lessons today and when our friend said that he thought God hated him, John prowse said, "God loves you man!! I'm getting baptized on sunday! I wouldnt be getting baptized if God didn't love me!" 


Thursday: 

Zone conference was superb!! Something that totally stuck out to me was actually what our senior couple said about cars and tiwi. "Life is so much better when you stop resenting the things you can't change." Hmm. Deep thoughts. 


Friday: 

We had the most incredible Plan of Salvation lesson with two moms who lost their babies at birth. The spirit was so strong as they both told their stories and to be able to testify that their babies know who their mom was, was the most incredible spirit. 


Saturday: 

Our friend Karlo!!! (Chị Barnum found him) has been progressing sooooo fast and in the opening prayer he said "God, I know that Sister Maria and Sister Raeganns mission is me. But Heavenly Father, I'm not easy to get. So please bless them to be able to know how to help me." It was the best lesson by far. 


Sunday: 

JOHN PROSE GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!! The whole ward was there and when John got the holy ghost, you could feel it so strongly! God is so good. He then bore his testimony and said, "I never thought I would be happy" 


Later that evening... 

Joseph who refuses to get baptized again but knows that the book of mormon is true had a lesson with us and our mission president. And pretty much. President Holmes put Joseph on date and is going to baptize him too.... that is a whole other cool story for another time! 


God is grand. God's work is moving forward. And you are in God's hands. 

God knows who you are and knows what you need!!!!! 

Turn to Him!!!!!

Do it, you won't, tooo scared!!


Love, 

Chị Skinner

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
