WE MOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh it was
so great. One of these days I will get around to sending the pictures of
our old house and the new house and you can see for yourself how wonderful this
news is. The bathroom is twice the size, the shower doesn’t leak or have
mold all over the curtain, the toilet flushes the first try, the beds are in
the bedroom instead of the kitchen, the tables and chairs aren’t made of
plastic and we haven’t had a single slug yet. And best of all I don’t
have to duck every time I want to walk across the room. Haha. It is
actually really good because winter is fast approaching and it is already cold
and wet inside the house and would have been hazardous to our physical health
in another week or so. Phew...
We are seeing some great progress with our investigators. We talked to one this week who is about 70 years old and is trying to quit smoking. She said this week she tried to smoke a cigarette and she couldn’t, it tasted awful to her. I was so excited to hear that! Then she asked what she should wear to her baptism and it just about made me cry because 2 weeks ago she wasn’t sure she wanted to even continue taking the discussions. She is so much more alert in body and mind and it truly is a miracle. The blessings of the Word of Wisdom are so real! Just picture this: 70 year old woman that has been a heavy smoker all her life, and boom the blessings of the gospel and she is a new woman. It is amazing. She is walking faster, communicating better, and altogether just more alert and happy. Ah:) She said she had a dream about me last week. She told me that I was all dressed in white and then she said I started blessing her like a Catholic priest...She is funny...
Our other investigator with a baptismal date is 13 and we had a really good talk with her parents this week. She has to make a few changes in her attitude with her parents and around the house and show a bit more maturity before they give permission for her to be baptized but I am confident that it can be done. She is so prepared and she loves church. She went to church once before we had even taught her and started talking about joining our church right there and then. And this week she brought a friend! It was awesome. She and her cousin who is 9 (who will probably also be able to be baptized soon) were walking down the halls showing their friend all the classrooms and the chapel...it was beautiful. I love children. They are awesome.
