This week we had exchanges, and I got to be with Sister Muhlestein! I love that girl so much. We went out and had a couple of visits. First. Dorothy! I love Dorothy, she is just getting through this week, she had another death in a family close to her but she also has a brand new granddaughter too! She has started to look through the Book of Mormon and is loving it, now we just need to see her during the week.
We are also starting to work with a less active/ part member family. Anna is Rusty and Amanda's daughter and is ready for a change of church pace so we will be getting her to young woman's soon and then into the waters of baptism!
Our Investigator, Mya was super sick this week and so we didn't get to see her. Did you know the whole hospital is on lock down right now! The flu is soooooo bad here in Indiana I cant believe it, it's so bad we could add another plague to the Egypt at this point!
Marcia came to church!!!!! Yes!!!! Her brother's health prevents her from coming and that really bits because she wants to get baptized, she just needs to come to church more.
Walter passed the sacrament last week! I'm so proud of him!
Beverly's baptism is this weekend! Yay! :)
This week I wanted to emphasize the importance of Unity. As you see in my wonderful picture up top that I would like to say "Hi, Mom!". :) The Mothers of the stripling warriors were amazing but they didn't do it alone. It took both a father and mother working together toward Christ to produce such strong faith in their sons. God did not create man to be better then woman, nor woman to be over the man. Despite what the world may say, it takes Both to fulfill God's plan of Happiness and it all started with Adam and Eve being one. We see the same strength with Lehi and Sariah as they take on the command to leave the city of Jerusalem, and we see the same faith with our priesthood leaders today. I have never once heard a bad thing come from a prophet or apostle of the Lord and I see their love for there families in every part of there lives.
Unity is so important to God. Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, and the Father are often mistaken for one being because they are so perfectly unified! I love there example and the leaders we have in the scriptures, I pray that one day I will be so perfectly unified with my family that we will be considered one with each other and one with our Heavenly Father.
Thanks Mom and Dad for being such a wonderful example for me. I know that no family is perfect and we are not suppose to be...right now. But, if this is something we want God will help us get there. I promise as you keep the commandments and communicate the way you feel with your Savior and others you will be happier and more unified.
Have a great week,
Best wishes from Indiana!
Love ya, Sister Partridge
...Don't get the flu!!!!!
