We've been meeting with Dustin on Tuesdays. He wants us to teach his 11 year old son so he should be either coming to church next week or we will go over there to start teaching him! So that's super awesome. Dustin is improving so much even though he won't be able to be baptized for a while.
Sally's baptism got moved back because she had to go out of town so hopefully this week we can set another date and she will be back to planning the program. She's doing so well--all she has to do is get in the font!! She said she definitely wants to get baptized before I leave so that would be awesome!
On Thursday we had a lesson with Ethan which was super cool! He'll be planning his baptism this week since it's on the 13th. It's so crazy to see him learn and grow and how prepared he is. It makes me so happy to see how much he loves church and how he sees the beauty of it all. It's awesome that he has the chance to serve a mission and share with others what he's learned! He's one of the most awesome people I've worked with on my mission.
On Thursday we were on splits and I was with Elder Johnson. I wanted to go and contact this person in our Area Book so we decided to just knock the whole street while we were there. We came upon a guy named Ray who was outside pulling weeds. I asked how he was doing as we were walking by and we almost kept on walking but I felt like it would be ridiculous to not talk to this guy about what we're out here to share so I just started to go into it. He ends up telling us that he thinks the Book of Mormon is the word of God so we explained to him what that meant. We set a return appointment for Saturday and he rode his bike to the park to meet us. He said he wants to get baptized so we put him on date for June! It was super cool!
The one difficult thing that happened this week, besides being out of miles, is that we met with Maria and she is having a hard time. She went down to California to see her family and her grandma told her not to be involved with the church anymore. Her grandma is the only one she really cares about so it was super rough on her! We had a rough lesson and I really didn't know what to say to her other than to pray. She had a crazy answer to her prayer and literally right after she prayed her grandma told her she was alright with her coming to church. It was super awesome!
We have another week with a lot coming up so it should be fun! Love you all
Stay Solid
