Simeon is Finding

We found this super cool house while we were out finding.

So, this week was okay. We did a lot more finding this week and had some good success, but my week was made better when two investigators came to church yesterday. Boy, was I smiling. We had been trying for a while so I know my Heavenly Father answered me and I am so thankful and grateful for it. I went to pick up the investigators for church and they were all ready and waiting for me. I was so glad I had to keep from smiling a lot but, hey I made it. This week I really and truly would like to thank all the wonderful sisters we have in the Relief Society because you are all so awesome and special. We had to get a few things for one of the investigators and the Relief Society stepped up - no questions asked - to help us. It shows their love for everyone. Even though they have never met the person they are still willing to lend a helping hand and do all they can and to that I say Thank You!

This week we were trying our super hardest to get everyone we are teaching to church but hey easier said than done. My spiritual experience this week came through prayer and yes! it works. It takes me back to the story of the Prophet Joseph Smith and how when he was looking for an answer he searched the scriptures diligently and most importantly he prayed. Because of that prayer you and I are all here as members of the Lord's church working hard to help our lost brothers and sisters find their way back into the fold. No, we are not perfect but we are who the Lord needs us to be and we are anxiously engaged in this wonderful gospel. We are here to help those who are wandering to find their way back home and we are working to go back home ourselves. Prayer will help. I testify of this is in the name of my Lord and Savior and yours as well, Jesus Christ Amen.

James 1:5-6
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Funny, interesting or amazing things they say

May 15 - Selwin spoke twice today - once in the Southgate 3rd Ward and then at Brookdale's Sacrament meeting. After the meeting one sister approached him and whispered in his ear saying, "my sister always told me to 'never forget how important you are'."

The second sister told him, "you should always smile because your dimples are so adorable!"

April 3, 2016 - The Cannon's, who had returned home on Friday after 18-months managing missionary apartments in the Mississippi Jackson Mission, stopped by the house to deliver a package from Elder Selwin who they described as "an exceptional missionary and an outstanding young man."

March 16, 2015 - Hi, my name is Deborah Albert, and your son (Elder Selwin) is here serving in my town (Gulfport) right now. I just wanted to tell you that he is a pretty awesome missionary !! We like him a lot !!

May 7 - Almost every day someone asks about our missionary twins. Today it was my doctor. We chatted briefly about how they're doing and how well Simeon and Selwin were integrated into our ward / neighborhood. "It doesn't surprise me," he said, "because they are fine young men and so easy to like!"

May 5 – We were at a funeral and in the middle of the service my caller ID showed an incoming call from "Jackson, MS." Since I only know ONE person in Jackson, MS, I jumped up to take the call, my heart pounding fearing something might have happened to Elder Selwin since missionaries are only allowed to call home on Mothers' Day and Christmas. I answered to hear a familiar voice asking, "Hi, do you know who this is?” It seems they can still make me smile - even from a thousand miles away!

April 1 - Kenrick Benn writes: The time is just around the corner when “our” two sons will be out in the mission field. I believe those two can convert even the hardest heart. Sister Benn and I would like to thank you two wonderful people for all you have done for us and for the two young men I love as a father loves his sons.

March 24, 2014 - Upon our return from SoCal, Selwin sheepishly said, "if you left the car in the driveway and the keys on the hook as a test, you should know, I failed!"
