My baby is all grown up and savin' China (Ohio)!"


Hello everyone!  Thank you so much for your birthday letters, cards and packages!  They have been wonderful!  I can feel your love even out here in Ohio!  Shout out to Elder Bham who hits his one-year mark on my birthday!

J. is getting baptized this week!  I can't believe it's here.  We taught her about the word of wisdom, tithing, fasting, and fast offerings this week.  Everyone pray for her, that she'll be able to keep the adversary at bay.

B. is getting baptized this week, too, at the same time as J.  It's so exciting!  I'm sad that I won't be able to go. 

Mo. has an amazing ability to feel the Spirit and has already figured out how to apply the scriptures to herself.  She loves the Book of Mormon.  When she reads it, she doesn't want to smoke anymore.  We were finally able to teach her the Restoration.  She is progressing toward her baptism on September 8.  Sister T. and I both hope we're still here -- transfers are next Thursday!

We found a new investigator named K. while tracting.  She's so cool.  She has two young kids and is really excited about the Book of Mormon.  She believes that the Bible has been altered over the years, agreed with the idea of a Great Apostasy, and loved the idea of eternal families.  We'll be visiting her again, later this week.

Our service project this week was helping a family blow up and tie balloons for their son's wedding reception.  They strung each balloon onto fishing wire and hung the wires across the ceiling.  They had the ceiling covered in balloons by the time we were done.  We blew up (with a compressor, luckily) and hand-tied 500+ balloons and helped string most of them, too.  It was definitely an adventure!


Well, I'm out of time!  I love you all and hope that everything is going well!  Happy birthday to Grandpa Morrow, Aubrey Bice, and Aunt Pam!
