I have loved this past week here in Frisco. I am over the Frisco 6 and YSA wards here :) The Frisco 6th Ward has so many nice members and all very diligent in living the standards of the gospel, and in doing so they love to share it with others, especially the Young Single Adults Ward. In fact spending time with the YSA Ward has been the most entertaining, loving, and spiritual experience so far of this week.
The one of YSA members actually invited a friend to come to church. Even from the start I could tell their friend Nick was feeling the Spirit during the church meeting. He even came to the YSA Devotional (which was amazing for those who haven't seen i)t. The story Elder Robbins shared about the man who read the Book of Mormon was the one he shared with us the missionaries here when he came with Elder Russell M. Nelson!
Nick really wants to turn things around in his life, he's been through a lot, but that's not going to stop him from becoming better and overcoming addiction problems, he seriously is the coolest and he's only 18 years old.
Also we got to have dinner at a members house and she showed the most impactful pictures to me and my new companion Sister Awerkamp. It's of a marine who is a member of our Church. It's of him while he was training in Okinawa and it is worth 1,000 words and it just punches my heart spiritually with a sense of an appreciation and excitement towards how important the Book of Mormon really is. I'll attach them below.
I love getting to be here in Frisco and look forward to see what it is I can do to serve the Lord and to help his children return back to Him.
I love all of you! If you need to know my new address you can email me or my Mom, or you can just send anything to the Texas Dallas Mission Office Address.
Love, Sister Baker
P.S.: the members we live with have two cats and one of them is Grumpy Cat's cousin!
