So as usual, I'm a horrible person for not posting on here sooner...
I haven't done anymore on my Personal Progress, My bad...
But!
We are still hvaing the missionaries over at least once a week. Our last lesson was on the Priesthood which was really exsciting becasue my husband received the Aaronic priesthood as a deacon (12 - 13 y.o. boys) but he had stopped going to church by the time he was a priest (16 - 17 y.o. boys) and didn't progress any further in the Priesthood.
The Priesthood is like a huge responsibility to serve and help others with Love, Compassion and Faith (This is my understanding of it), and they have the ability to give what we call Priesthood Blessings. Now a Priesthood Blessing, as one of our missionaries would put it... is prayer, on steroids. lol. It's more powerful and focused than the normal prayers we say to Heavenly Father. They are given for specific reasons, whether someone is sick or they have a test coming up they are really worried about etc.
And my Husband had one a few weeks ago by the missionaries. He was getting sicka dn had his Physical Exam for work coming up in a few days. He was very, very worried that he wouldn't be able to perform. He received his blessing and when the test came round, he passed, beating his last time by 5 minutes and getting into the same category as the Elite guys in his line of work.
But then the other night, he was at my Oma's place with my brother nad my Oma was sick. She said she wanted a blessing and that's when it hit bot my husband and my brother... neither of them could do that for her.
Since then, they have both decided to prepare themselves to receive the next priesthood.
Now I don't know about the commitment level of my brother, but I know that C is pretty commited to it. He has come so far recently. He now comes to church every sunday, he does go home early, but he stays for Sacrament and Gospel Principals. The last class is a bit harder because they talk beyond his understanding which frustrates and de-motivates him I think. but as he learns things will become easier, and hopefully others will see that he hasn't been studying the scriptures for the past 20 years like they have and he doesn't see things the way they all do, so hopefully they will see that and help him.
But I'm just so happy he is coming back... He will be able to give our kids blessings, and our kids will be raised in teh Gospel and we'll be a happy family, Forever!
Note: Happy does not mean we won't ever have problems and trials... but it does mean we'll overcome them together.
