Tyler’s Letter – 09/26/2016 – Birthweek Success

Hello beloved friends and family!

This last week was an awesome birthweek and I had lots of fun.

We haven’t had a car since wednesday and won’t get it back until this wednesday, but we are surviving. We had about a billion lessons fall through but that’s okay. The Fayle’s (some awesome new ward missionaries) took us out to dinner before our lesson with Angus which they were going to accompany us to. They took us out to some nice steakhouse again…goodness we don’t deserve such good food. But we headed to the lesson and, well, Angus wasn’t there. That repeated a lot of times throughout the week.

On the 24th, though, (my birthday,) we put three of our investigators on date for baptism! It just excites me so much because we have been having so much trouble searching for those who truly want to make the commitment to God but those who are truly prepared were revealed to us and we’ll do everything we can to help them get there.

The Anthony’s put together an awesome dinner for us as well, in celebration for my birthday! Danielle baked put together a huge salad dinner and baked a chocolate cake! Pictures included below.

There is so much that happened that I really could sit here and write a book about it, but I will say that one thing we learned more about this week is opposition. When people draw closer to God he inevitably draws closer to them, but there is a being out there who doesn’t like that. Satan will do everything he can to stop this progress and he’s been a huge annoyer of this wonderful work lately. But he has no power over us if we call upon God, and do what we know is right. In the end, we will be so much stronger after overcoming the opposition we face, and we all have opposition and trials in one way or another.
