Alright Week

So guess what? Jessica came to church again yesterday, and she said that she's sticking to her baptismal date of the 26th. We had to move it back a week so she would feel more comfortable. But, she's doing great. She is really trying to follow the things that we are teaching her. She's told us that it is really hard, but she's trying and we are helping her know that things will be better as she continues along. This week, we taught her the Plan of Salvation, the Law of Chastity, and the Word of Wisdom, and she is following both of those very well. She quit smoking and drinking and those were really her only 2 problems with that. So it's going good. I can definitely see the change that is happening in her. She is so sincere about everything and is just a great person in general. Now we need to help her understand how the Atonement can completely lift those guilty, "this is hard" feelings she has inside. Oh yeah, and she has a 4 year old son who is the bomb too. His name is Felix, and yesterday at church, he said the closing prayer in primary! He's so cool.

And for the second week in a row, I don't really have much else to say. We have been doing a lot of finding, since Jessica is the only one we are currently teaching consistently, but not much is happening from that yet. Ok, here's a story for you. On Saturday, we were tracting, and we were finishing up a street before going to eat lunch. At the last house on the street, this old lady came to the door and after looking at us for approximately .8 seconds, she said "I'm Catholic" and shut the door. But, as she was shutting the door, I said "That's great!" She opened the door and said "what?" Then I said "That's great" again and couldn't really think of anything else to say, but apparently that was enough for her, cause she opened the door, and proceeded to tell us her life story. It took about 47 minutes, and it was actually pretty interesting. haha. She said she wants to write a book about herself. So yeah, that was cool. She also took a copy of the Book of Mormon, and Plan of Salvation pamphlet, a Restoration pamphlet, and a passalong card with our number on it, but told us she's not interested. haha. We'll see..

Okey dokey then. I don't have anything else to say other than I haven't heard much about the MWC or NCAA tourney so that would be nice to hear. Ok, well have a great week, all of you. Love ya!!

Love,
