Hey fam bam! It's been a good couple of days and I have a lot of updates for y'all!
M. got baptized this weekend! It was a good baptism. The Spirit was there and she even bore her testimony at the end and it was awesome!
L. is amazing -- he is already in Helaman and absolutely LOVES the Book of Mormon! He decided on a baptism date of October 5. We realized last night that that's conference weekend so he won't be able to be confirmed until the following Sunday, but things will work out. All we have left to teach him is tithing! We watched Testaments with him this past week and he loved it. I can't wait for him to read 3 Nephi 11!
M. came to church again! The lessons were all perfect for him.
We taught B. again this past Tuesday and it went well. We'll be teaching him Plan of Salvation tonight. It's going to be great! Both of his biological parents have passed away so it's going to be big for him.
The Columbus Crew (soccer) game was Wednesday. It was a bit slow so we went around and contacted people instead . . . members only. We weren't allowed to proselyte at the game. I did see a lot of people from Powell! I even got a referral from a member, for one of his co-workers who lives here. I was able to see many old friends -- it was great!
We heard some great news at the game. While I was in Powell we were helping one of the youth in the ward teach his friend, D, who was later baptized. Well, this past weekend D. baptized his mom! How cool is that? It's great to see the ripples spreading.
Sister S., our former mini-missionary, showed up on Saturday as a surprise and came out with us for the day. She was able to see M. get baptized! It was so fun to be with her again.
Sister T. and I (and the Elders) helped judge an Iron Chef competition on Thursday. The secret ingredient was pumpkin. There were three teams and each team made an appetizer, a main dish and a dessert. There was some yummilicious stuff -- pumpkin dip, pumpkin soup, pumpkin tart, twice-baked potato with pumpkin, etc. We were so full afterward! You know the saying "Go big or go home" -- here it's just "Go home big!"
