Wow! i really have no time today!
haha but i will try and get it all out!
so this week we had another
baptism! his name is Anthony Orvis. He was a referral from Tina and Dennis
(Dennis the investigator). He has been coming to church for about a year and a
half and had a baptismal date about a year ago, and didn’t show up to the
baptism cuz he got cold feet. so we re-taught him all the lessons and now he is
baptized! he was super solid!!! knows the bible very well and asks good
questions! i got to baptize him, so that was awesome! definitely a very cool
feeling!
Joseph made it to church this week!
He struggles with remembering things, so its always nerve racking to see if he
will remember, but he did! he even had shaved! it was awesome to have him
there! so quote of the week also came from joseph. he has really bad back pains
cuz he got electrocuted (in the summer of '71. it threw him about 30 feet. he
tells us the story every time we go to visit him so i got it down haha.) so he
can’t sit for long periods of time. but he said he was enjoying church so much,
he just tried to not pay attention to the pain. then he says, "yeah i was
married to a woman that i didn’t pay any attention to, so i am sorta used to it!"
HAHAHA!! but yeah, he really enjoyed church and that’s going well!
a few other things. people’s houses
are hotter than outside. so when we go to appointments, I’m literally dripping in
sweat. It’s horrible. i don’t understand why people live their lives like that!
that happened when we went to check up on justin and chanielle with their stop
smoking program. they were both holding up ok, justin a little worse than
chanielle. but i think our visit helped take their minds off of it! so that was
good. sadly, with the second group of elders that just got put into saginaw, we
have to go on a car rotation, so we won’t always have the car and justin and
chanielle live far away! so we gotta find rides out there, unless we wanna bike
to 'nam (Vietnam) and back. which wouldn’t be a problem for stevenson since he
used to be a cycler back home... chanielle has a baptism date for august 3 and
is looking pretty solid for that day so we are excited! still working with
justin. we have a lot of other solid investigators that i sadly don’t have time
to talk about. i got some nice pics of me with the car this week cuz i started
driving this week haha i will send those next week.
one other investigator is named
nicole and at first she was very upset we were at her house haha but we have
started teaching her and she is loving it. but she has 5 daughters and the
oldest one is like... 10 so they are impossible to teach with her. so when we
go over there, i turn into the circus master and play with them all for like an
hour haha. we play duck duck goose
and things and everyone has to cry at least 4 times cuz they wanted to be it or
for various other reasons. anyways, thought that made for some interesting
literature.
have a good week! love you all!
