Priorities

 

So, we got really sick of people going right up to their baptismal dates, and then falling through for not going to church, so decided to put all we had in the three with dates for this weekend. It worked!!!

We have been really diligent with Rita and her grand daughter Gaby for a while now. They went to church all on their own this week! So, if they can get ready, they should be baptized this weekend. We love them, and are excited for them. One night, we didn´t have too much to do, so we went and helped them destroy half the house that they´re remodeling. FUN! We spend like an hour taking out a giant cedar post and got my shirt all stained up... but it´ll come clean. I hope. haha.

The other one this weekend is Kevin. We hadn´t been able to get a hold of him for a lesson for almost two weeks. He´s really cool, but every time we went to his place we felt awful. then we get him out of there, and we feel better. Some thing Saturday night. We got him to a house of a member, and he expressed all of his desires to still get baptized, but his work is killing all of his time, week day and Sundays. We taught him about the sabbath day and our member showed him the scripture about the guy getting stoned to death in the book of Numbers.. That´s why you prep the members before the lesson. haha. But... he went to church! And he´s got connections with a cousin of his for a job that will give him evenings and Sundays off work. So, he´s set up for this Saturday if he gets the job. We are really excited for him, and know that he´ll be a great member. He was the only investigator we had second hour in our gospel doct class, so we taught him lesson two, which he needed. It was really cool, and my comp and I now love teaching lesson two because of how excited investigators get. It´s really fun.

Missionary work is the best!

I love you all!
