Hello all! It has been a good week, but next week is going to be even better! Yeah!
J. is still progressing toward her baptismal date of August 25. She has it all planned out, including who's speaking, playing the piano, etc. And she's already making plans to go to the temple. She is awesome! J's daughter S. asked us yesterday for a list of scriptures to read. She can't be baptized for a few more years, but she is doing all of her Personal Progress and scripture study so she'll be prepared. So cool.
Mi. is still trying. He enjoyed the 17-points talk. He has come to church for the past six weeks straight -- he loves church. I'm optimistic that he' will be back on date soon.
It has been a hard week for Mo. The adversary is working on her hard core. Please pray for her. She had a priesthood blessing last Monday and had a super cool experience. She said she felt all tingley and felt her load lightened. She was honestly a little breathless when it happened. It was wonderful to see her experience the peace that the priesthood can bring into our lives. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and asked her to read it. We got this text from her Saturday night: "I started reading the Book of Mormon last night and slept like a baby. I woke up feeling refreshed and my stomach hasn't hurt all day so far. I feel calm and at peace for the first time in years." She told her cousin E. about the Church and how much it has helped her with everything, so now he wants us to teach him, too. Awesome!
We taught D. the full Restoration lesson this past week and it was so cool. When we drove up, he was sitting on his front porch reading the Book of Mormon. He has committed to read two pages a day! He has many questions about the different denominations and churches that exist in the world. He is also reading the Koran, sooooo . . . we'll see how that goes!
I got a letter from Sister K. in Powell this week; she says that B. is working towards August 18 for baptism! That's this weekend! I hope all goes well there. So cool to see seeds sown begin to sprout!
The B. family gave us a huge bag of Amish apples. They are so good! They don't look like our apples [Jonathan], but they taste like them -- crisp and tart and oh, so delicious!
We got a mini missionary this morning; her name is Sister C. She'll be with us through Friday and is super cool! We are excited to go out and have an amazing week! We are going to teach, find, and find some more!
P.S. Mitt Romney is coming to Zanesville on Tuesday!
