Hello everyone! It has been a great week! We didn't have a car for 4-1/2 days -- it was crazy! We did a lot of walking and got rides from members, but wow . . .it's hard to cover two and a half counties on foot! I'm much more tired than usual. We are soooo spoiled to have a car!
J. (our recent convert) is doing well. We had dinner with her on Tuesday and she told us that the adversary has been trying to press doubts into her mind and heart. I'm glad she's living with her mom and has that great support. She was at church on Sunday, participating like she's been a member since birth. She is amazing!
We taught Lo. the nature of God and prayer. It went really well! He is progressing so fast. We taught Plan of Salvation as well, and he loved it! The only problem I foresee is that he hasn't told his parents yet. We're going to talk with him about that on Sunday. He also played his trumpet for us, and showed us his LOTR mouthpiece. So cool! It has the inscription from the ring engraved on it! I'm such a geek! I also got to play a guitar that Sister K's dad made by hand. It was cool!
We were able to teach Li. last night! We taught Plan of Salvation and it went really well. She's coming to church on Sunday and will have a chapel tour, too. She also committed to read more of the Book of Mormon and pray about whether it's true, and the Plan as well. We asked her if she would like to be baptized, and she said she would when she knows it's true.
A girl named H., who has a boyfriend in the next ward, has come to church four times now. We finally got her number and will be visiting her this week!
The Columbus Crew game (Mormon Night) is coming up, and President gave us permission to call the people from our last area and invite them to come. I got to talk to quite a few people and it was wonderful! Most of them bought tickets to the game. Hopefully I will be able to see them there!
Sister K. and I were helping a youth in Powell invite his friend (D.) to church, and the friend ended up going to scout camp and high adventure. Sister K. told me last week that D. got baptized a few weeks ago! How awesome!
We fasted as a stake for the Amish families who were recently baptized here. It was a huge deal -- groundbreaking in Church history. It wasn't widely publicized at the time because the families knew they would be shunned in their community. Well, it was only a matter of time and now they are having some severe trials. Please pray for them!
