August 17, 2009 email



It was a way way sweet week this week. I've been trying to stay more focused and it paid off. I know I shouldn't be a numbers person, but numbers mean people and our numbers were off the chart. I'm so excited to keep this up. The Lord  is truely helping us right now. I got some of the highest number in my mission this week. It feels like I just got a 4.0.
       I thought you would enjoy some pictures. Two are of Jeromes Baptism. The other is my chainmail tie. You remember the guy that let us try on his chainmail? Well, he taught us how to do it, so we set to work on making a tie. Do you like it? It says "TSAM" with a baptism sign. Anyways, he said he would come to church if I wore the tie, so I did, and he came. His name is Micheal, he was formerly a Jew. He Loved church and wants to come back, so we can start teaching him the lessons too.
        Remember Flan and how we confirmed him in his home? Remember how touched his wife was? Guess what, her daughter came to live with them in Texas now. That means that she can quit her second job and come to church. So she, and her daughter both came to church. The great thing is that she already wants to be a member. We just need to teach her. She'll be getting baptised on the 30th with her daughter.
        We also knocked into a Bekah this week. She is such an Austin hippie earthmuffin. I Love it. She is so prepared and elect. She had issues with women not having the priesthood, but that was fix when we brought a member, Melissa, to come teach with us. The lesson was so full of the spirit. Complete change around.
         All in all we had 8 people at church, and they can all get baptised this month, like, they are progressing. we taught 29 lessons this week to. Everyone we talked to just let us in. It's so sweet when the work is sweet. It's all in the attitude and the effert you put forth.
