it weirded me out, but they kind of tasted good. I certainly wouldn't
choose that meal for my birthday dinner though.
Also, I saw fireflies for the first time in my life! How cool are
they?! We're definitely missing out back in Arizona and Utah. I'll try
and smuggle some home, but I don't know how well that will work out...
Most importantly, Cindy was baptized yesterday!! I have been working
with her since I got to Cape May, so it was a huge blessing to see her
baptized. She is so prepared and will be a great member of Christ's
church. It was really neat because right after the baptism service she
said to us, "you loved me here." What a testimony on the power of
love! The Beatles sure had it right, didn't they? (That might be a
little blasphemous, so don't quote me on that one!)
We are seeing so many miracles! We had 4 investigators at church
yesterday, plus 2 potential investigators and a less active woman that
we are helping to get her temple recommend back. This work is so
incredible! It is so obviously God's work, and I'm spoiled to be a
part of it!
Family history is amazing! Have you been working on
yours?........................
The prophet has told us that Heavenly Father wants now more than ever
for each of us to be doing family history work. He doesn't care how
young or old you are, you can do something! Sister White and I have
had some incredibly spiritual experiences helping people work on their
family history. Sometimes I wish I could be a full-time family history
missionary, but that will have to wait until my next mission. If you
haven't caught the spirit of Elijah, you are missing out on some major
blessings and incredible experiences. Catch the wave, my friends!
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's kingdom
on her earth today. Joseph Smith was a prophet of God called to
restore the gospel in these latter-days. The Book of Mormon is truly
God's word. I love my Savior and all of you!
Love, Sister Ricks
