Enthusiastically Excited!

We have been working with a teenage girl who is preparing to be baptized.  She is super excited.  She went to Young Women's last week and made lots of friends!  We're still working on trying to get her mom involved.  They are so fun to work with.  The young girl has such an enthusiasm for what we teach her.  She wants to come tracting with us and she has even introduced us to her neighbor so we could teach him.  We're praying hard that she'll keep up with this excitement so when her baptismal date arrives, she'll be ready!

She is Official!

This week, we found the membership records of a lady who I met when I first got to this area.  Her husband was outside when we walked by, so we started talking to him.  That day, we met his wife who told us she was baptized when she was 10, but hadn't been to church in a loooong time.  We started teaching them, but their schedules got to busy, we lost contact, etc.  Just a couple weeks ago, we were able to contact them again, she came to church last Sunday with her two boys, and - long story short - she is now an official member of the ward! :)

Get Job? Get Baptized!

We've also been working with this lady who was baptized when she was a child, but hasn't been to church for a very long time.  The first time we met her, her husband was out of work.  He told us that if we prayed and he got a job, he would become Mormon.  Well, the next day he found employment.  We hadn't been able to get a hold of them for a few weeks, but we finally did last week, and they came to church!  They are honestly one of the most fun families I have ever met!
