This week was pretty exciting. Of course the most exciting was
Ashley's baptism. I'm still a little astounded that she actually chose
to be baptized! She chose Elder Butt to baptize her which was even more
exciting because he was able to come to the baptism. EVERYONE CAME.
President Eaton came, President Nelson (Stake President), President
Mckinney (Second Counselor in Mission Presidency), Bishop Johnson, and
four investigators plus probably 6+ families from the ward. One of those
families has 8 children. Then there were 8 missionaries each set with
an investigator and then there was Ashley and her mom and grandmother.
Her grandmother is a member. Her mom is not. But she agreed to meet with
us tommorrow to learn more!
The other great thing that happened this week was
when we taught Glenn and his family after the baptism. He has been kind
of flakey lately, even though his member wife tells us "No, really, he
loves you guys and he really feels inspired every time you come over." I
usually don't buy that. But yesterday he said "Elder Lovell, when do
you go home?" and I told him I went home at the beginning of January. He
said "Elder, you can bet I'll be baptized before then. I felt something
tonight at you spoke. It's hard to describe." He told his wife "Its
just not good for us to be in two different churches."
Our ward council turned around! Wow! The goings on in
this ward council are the same ones that happened in Dash Point just
before the work took off! Plus we're cleaning our appartment again today
which is really nice. I feel like I had the most clarity of mind when
the appartment was clean.
I love Bishop Johnson. He is awesome and stays in close
contact with us. He told us "Elders I should be being the fellowship
you bring to every new investigator for the first time!" Woah! I cannot
believe how willing he is!
We found two new investigators this week. Please pray for them.
- Jeremy (yes I told him I have a brother with that name)
and
-
Aerin. She is trying to get an answer about the book of Mormon! Pray
for her. Especially that she'll come to church this week!
