Well, as you may have already noticed by the title I chose for this week, we had a really awesome week! I'll start off with this person named Delmar. We met him outside of his house while we were biking by! We stopped and talked with him for a bit and he is a very nice older gentlemen! He wanted to hear about what we believed so we just went right into the plan of salvation and taught the whole thing to him outside of his house! He LOVED it and thought it made so much sense. He said if God was the God he knew, than this would be his plan! He loves keeping an open mind to other perspectives! Usually people of his age are close-minded! Well, it was challenging to set up a return appointment with him because he told us his wife is atheist and she probably wouldn't appreciate having us over, but if he was ever outside, feel free to stop by and talk! I was like, shoot! We will probably never catch him outside again, but a few days later we biked by his house again, and there he was doing the exact same thing as the first time we saw him! We talked with him some more about the book of mormon, and since we didn't have enough time, he told us to come back on Wednesday and we will make something work! So I hope all of that goes well! I'll keep you up to date with him!
Probably the most exciting part of our week was we set 2 baptismal dates! One with Emma who I told you about last week, and the other with Henry!! These 2 seemed completely ready for this commitment, and there faith in Jesus Christ has grown so much in the short time we have been meeting with them! Both of them will be baptized the same day, August 17th, that is the goal we have set with them! We are very excited and feel very blessed that we have such awesome, ready, people to work with! I know that the Lord is preparing the hearts of his children. Just think of what wonderful examples Emma and Henry will be to their families after they are baptized! I know that with the steps they have taken, it's the first step in something even more grand to follow, even with their families! That is how the Lord prepares people! One by one!!!
Well, I'm super grateful for everything that has been going on in my life right now! I'm still enjoying every phase of this work and I am still looking for improvement each and every day! Looking back to who I was at the start of my mission and seeing how far I have come, it's just awesome! I hope everyone is doing great back home! I think about you all a lot! I'm thankful for the support and prayers you all have given me! Just know that I know that God lives, and loves us all and the evidence of that love is Christ! I'm so thankful for him and the power he has to heal us and put us out of our slumps! I hope you all have the most "bestest" week ever!
Love,
