Hello E'reybody!
I hope you had a great week because we definitely did! It was a gift
from Heavenly Father all wrapped up with a pretty bow on it just for
us. The pretty bow was added yesterday when we had one investigator
come to church and another come to a baptism. Linda came to church and
she has told us repeatedly that she is not a fan of organized
religion. When we teach Linda our Relief Society President is always
with us and at our lesson last Friday Sister Krout invited Linda to
come to all three hours of church with her and Linda said that she
would love that! We had talked about attending church every week with
her but it didn't happen until it came from the member. Linda really
seemed to enjoy the services and liked to hear everyone's testimonies.
She participated in the classes and seemed very comfortable. It was
wonderful. Well we knew that there was a baptism going on that evening
so we invited her to that and she said no thank you. We tried a little
harder and she still said no. We had planned the night before on going
to the baptism and we were sad that she had said no.
So after church was all over and we had made it back home to do a
short comp study we started to text and call all of our investigators
and potentials. Not a single one of them responded except for JO! I
told you about Jo in my last letter. She is amazing! We have been able
to visit with her a couple more times and she so was ready and willing
to come to the baptismal service. So we went to her house when it was
time and lead her to the building where the baptism was. It was a
perfect baptism for her to see. She was confused as to why there was
only one person being baptized so we were able to explain why that is
so special. The Spirit was strong and I know that she felt it. I
believe that Jo is seeking for the truth. Even though she is wanting
to find a Freewill Baptist church, I know that she will be so much
happier when she can come to church and listen and learn about the
whole Doctrine of Christ. And so she can know that she has family
here.
:) I am super excited for zone conference on Friday! I LOVE zone
conferences! We always learn amazing things and have tons of
take-aways which means tons of personal revelation! I hope you all
have a fantastic week! I will Skype, on the 19th, from here at 3 if
that is alright so it will be 5:00 your time! :) I don't know from
where yet so please email me by next week the name I should look up so
that I can find you when its time. LOVE YOU!
