Update on that AWESOME family we are teaching -- We wanted to commit them to baptism this week. We got to their house with our member and sat down and were just chatting before we started the lesson. Our member is talking with them and they (our amis) were talking about how they are working on quitting smoking and drinking coffee! (We haven't taught them word of wisdom yet!) Then we start the lesson and ask how their reading is going and he says that he's read the whole Book of Mormon!!! He only got it 2 and a half weeks ago!! And he was talking about how he needs to go back and reread to profondir his knowledge! The wife is in 2nd Nephi which is probably cause they only have one copy and he's been reading it the whole time!(we will fix that this week). So we teach the first part of the plan of salvation and the kids come join in the lesson and at the end we extend the baptismal invitation and they say that they have been talking about it and deciding when they are going to get baptized! They decided on...August 2014 in the canal by their house. But I think that will definitely get moved up soon once they understand a little more about baptism and why it's important. I think they just picked that time because they think it is very picturesque. But anyways they want to get baptized!! And they Love church! They are the coolest family ever! Ps. that happened to be Monster day when we got 4 new amis with a date(a little far away but a date none the less)!
Other than that we had a little miracle last night where we were able to fun into our other ami on the street. He has been super busy this week and we weren't able to see him and we were kind of worried about it but then we ran into him and talked to him for a while and fixed a rdv for tonight! Tender mercy.
It's definitely much more like fall turning winter here. It's been raining allot and there are leaves everywhere! It's very pretty. Sometimes the rain catches us off-guard and we end up getting pretty wet cause I forgot my umbrella that time but I've learned to be prepared anyways.
I did get shays package! Thanks I was surprised to get it and I am super excited about the brownies! The notes from Emma and sister Busby are super sweet! Tell them thanks for me!
Well I got to go for today. Sorry for all the trouble with Amazon.
I love you lots!
