Well, it feels like we are constantly running. There is NOT enough time in the day to do all we need to. There are too many people who need to hear the gospel, and not enough time. Its so hard.We pretty much run from one appointment to the other. Its exciting. Talking about exciting and running, yesterday, we were walking up "the hill." Its a lot like Bonneville, the steep street by my house. Anyways, we were walking up it, and this scary drunk man asked us something, we felt we needed to walk away really fast, so, we went as fast as possible. We got to the top and stopped for a second to breath. We looked back and HE WAS FOLLOWING US!!! So, we practically ran down the street. We got to a catholic church and there was a wedding, so we "got lost in the crowd" and then escaped further. Then we crossed the busy street, and he was STILL following us!!! So, we walked really fast around the corner and BOOKED IT! I don't know if I have ran so fast in my life. Not to mention (me being the klutz i am) Tripped and scrapped my knee a few days before. But it didn't hurt while i was running. It was exciting. I'm grateful we listened to the promptings we had because who knows what would have happened. Its always an adventure here! :)
We had 3 investigators in church yesterday! And they all loved it. ! of them has her baptismal interview this week, so, hopefully next week we will be having a baptism! Shes super excited too. Hopefully we can get everything taught before hand. She is really great. Although, shes is positive the interview is a test and she is terrified. We have even asked her the questions and everything, but shes still nervous. Poor girl. The other 2 were a mother and daughter. They are wonderful, the daughter hopefully will be baptized at the end of this month and the mother, hopefully her husband will marry her so she can be baptized, because she knows it is true and its what she wants.
About 2 weeks ago or so we had a woman show up to church and no one knew who she was. She said she had been going to a different ward. Well, we got asked to go visit her. Turns out shes been a member since her childhood, but got married and fell away. She just started coming back to church and shes pretty much like a fresh investigator. I love her so much. Apparently, all the missionaries that have tried to visit before, she never opened her door. God is a god of miracles my friends. He can change people. Have the faith that he can help change you. I have found out one of many of the reasons missionaries don't want to go home. Because they change, and they don't want to go back to what they were before. Its a scary thought.
Hope you all have a fantabulous week and that all is well.God loves you and so do I! What more could you want? ;)
