We have been teaching a lot. We taught 24 lessons this week
and I think a little more last week. We have been incredibly blessed of late!
:) As far as baptismal dates, we have one Sister for February 1st and this
past week, we went on a Church Tour with her! AND we taught her the Gospel of
Christ and got to have another lesson with her and her family later in the week
and we shared a spiritual message about faith and prayer I believe. :) Oh!
Also, before we went on the Church Tour, we went to Pizza Hut! Yummmm..... :)
Our other baptismal date is for February 15th. We haven't been
able to meet with her for a little while because her husband has been gone but
the next time we meet with her we are going to touch base with her, set up a
program and REALLY have a wonderful and spiritual lesson we hope! :) We had
another guy for January 28th, but we most likely will have to
drop it because he hasn't been to church enough times with us. :( BUT, we have
a lesson scheduled tonight for 7 and it is going to be FANTASTIC! Other than
them, there are about 10 people we could set dates with but we have either
tried already and they aren't comfortable with it, or we are continuing to work
with them and help them as best we can. :)
This area is so incredible and has so much potential. Even
if I don't get to see the immediate fruits of our labors, I know that seeds are
being planted and watered and it is such an honor to be the farmer in this
area.
(I asked him exactly where he was serving)..I am serving in the Pocatello Stake and we meet at the Bannock Building and
the Portneuf building. I'm not really sure what the addresses are though, sorry!
But, they're great! We are over a branch called Arbon, and the wards we cover
are Juniper Hills, Cedar Hills, Johnny Creek, Gibson Jack, Indian Hills and
Mink Creek. Juniper Hills is really REALLY on fire right now! :) We do a lot of
LA work in Indian Hills too and in fact, two guys that we have been working
with are getting the Melchizedek Priesthood this coming Stake Conference!! :)
AND, there are quite a few others that can definitely get there!
Overall, it has been
a wonderful week!! :) The Church Tour with Sister F was definitely the
highlight AND she came to church sunday! AND we get to give a blessing tomorrow
morning to the father of the wife of one of our investigators! :)
