Happy
New Year!!
This
week was fun (like always!!)
This
past week Elder Blume and I committed 3 people to baptism! One of them is named
Kim, she's a cool black lady that lives up in Woodlake. She basically already
studies a little bit from the Book of Mormon every day from what we
understand!! We committed her to be baptized on January 21st! She has mentioned
that her doctor tells her she needs to drink a cup of coffee every day to lower
her blood pressure...not sure how that works. But there are ways to go through
and around!! If she has faith like Elder Blume and I do, she will
prevail!!!
The
other 2 are named Edward and Elida. Edward and Elida are a couple hat have been
meeting with missionaries for 2 PLUS years!! And they have only ever been to
church like 1 or 2 times!!! They are a split family and have a total of 4 kids.
Edward says the missionaries are "Good Luck" because whenever we
start coming around; good things happen in his life. He has also said to our
faces that he felt good reading out of the Book of Mormon. Elida grew up
Catholic but never really felt she got to choose the religion. So she is
searching to join a church for herself. We committed them to be baptized on
February 11! BUTTTTTTT...we still need to get hem married! WOOHOO!
Unfortunately,
none of them came to church on Sunday.
Also,
we are teaching a woman named Sabrina ha we have committed to baptism as well!
She's got 2 kids named JazMain (pronounced Jazz-Main, isn't it cool?!?! Mom is
white, but daughter is half black) and Ricky. They are 5 and 3. We don't
have a solid date for her yet but she has been reading the Book of Mormon!
And
last but not least!! My companion’s birthday was on New Year’s Eve!!!!! He
turned 20!!!!! On New Year’s Eve we proselyted till 5 and then got picked up
for dinner (Our cars had to be parked by 6, but we were allowed to be out with
members until 9). We went over to a member’s home and had breakfast for dinner
and then just hung out with them until it was time to go home!! Then we planned
and went to bed!! SO nothing too crazy!! But still fun!!
Love
you all!! Have a fantastic week!!!
