Family!
Hey everyone you were right about the blizzard, it was fun getting here. Don't worry about the hand warmers, Debi sent me a ton at Christmas and I found more in my last apartment. I have enough to share. We had a great week and hasn't been too cold as of yet. School and the library is out so I have to use an internet cafe. I won't have as much time.
We had a great week and some great miracles happened for each one of our investigators. Sunday I fasted for Patricia and that night she called us telling us that she wants to get baptized! We went and taught her last night and she set a goal to quit smoking by this Sunday, which is a big step. When we asked her about baptism she said some time in April which is really far but it is a big step for her. With a little more time she will develop a desire to do it sooner but at least now she really wants to do it.
Nick had some problem with court and his family that he was really worried about last week, but again as we prayed about it, everything worked out fine. He is doing really well and hopefully his dad's heart will be softened by the 20th. He has shown a lot more commitment and effort to be baptized.
Brianna, a part member we have, and her sister who just turned 8 finally showed interest in getting baptized. We spoke with the mom and set a goal for some time around the end of Feb or early march. We have been trying to do that since I got here!
Another part member we have, Rosie- the investigator, had some problems with her husband, mike-the member, this past week. As they went to church last week mike asked someone he knew to help him and at the same time we asked someone else to help and these three women became fast friends. Fellowshipping is so important when it come to conversion! I am grateful that this ward is so good at it. That's why we have Nick; still have Patricia and why we did so well last month.
Yesterday we had another mission council with all of the leaders from the mission. My "son", Elder Wilkins, is now white washing and a district leader so he was there. (I trained him well! Lol jk) I guess he is having a lot of success. The council was really good and we set a few goals for what we want the mission's vision to be this year. The rest of the ward is doing well. We had a lot of members invite friends to dinner appointments we had with them which is super awesome! We had one family home evening with a family and their neighbors. The five year old taught a lesson about prayer and gave an example of when a 14 year old boy prayed and saw God. It was super sweet.
Well I've got to run, I love you all! Congrats Mandee on a sweet concert!
