WOOOOHH
This week was exciting, so
last Sunday we had this girl named (R). She is 24 and has been investigating
for a while and comes to church when she can, we also went over to her house on tuesday
night with our ward mission leader bro Collins to have dinner with her, and we
talked about baptism and why she hasn’t been baptized yet and the only thing
that has been keeping her was living the word of wisdom cause she drinks sweet
tea, but she said she likes orange juice and mountain dew more than tea and the
tea would be easy to give up now, so we committed her and she accepted to live
it and set her on baptism date for January 5 cause she only could come to
church this weekend until then and you have to be living the word of wisdom for
a week before your baptism, but the next day at our interviews we talked to
president Holm and asked since she believes in everything that we could baptize
her this weekend if she hasn’t drank tea by Friday and he said yes, so long
story short we told her we called some people and she got baptized and
confirmed this last weekend haha.
She was so excited to be able
to get baptized now instead of having to wait all the way till January 5, she
just is eating up church and the members are just loving her up, of course her
best friend is a member in our ward also, but she has made so many friendships
already, she will be an awesome member of the church. (S) isn’t really
progressing how we thought, her mom got home from the hospital and I guess can’t
go outside because she is going to start chemo soon, so we are not sure how
long it will be until she could go outside long enough to watch the baptism so
we are waiting on that. (S) is telling
us now that she doesn’t want to do it because she thinks we are pushing her and
that we don’t care that her mom is sick, but we told her that’s not what we are
doing, that we care about you and your mom. We are just giving her time and we have talked to the Relief Society about bringing
her and her mom a dinner and just fellowshipping with them until her mom gets
better and we can schedule a baptism, good thing though is that she came to
church. This week, we found this kid named (K).
He is 16 and he came to church last week randomly and he said he wanted
to start coming back to church and decided to come to ours. We taught him the
restoration already and we are gonna teach him again this week.
The only southern tradition I
can think of right now is that they deep fry everything, like the turkey or the
ham haha I don’t know how ham would taste deep fried but turkey might be good,
that’s all I can think of at the moment
that’s so exciting to hear
Madison is going to DC, haha and also that she leaves so soon, wow that’s
crazy, and I’m bummed I wont get to see her, you will need to send me her
mission address when you find out, tell her congrats from me
