Happy Spring!

Well, hello. This week was one of those that I wish hadn't really happened. Not a lot of good news for this week, so it will probably be pretty short. We'll start with Jessica. Actually, since we aren't teaching anyone else right now, that's all I'll talk about. Let's just say that after last week, I was sure she was going to get baptized this weekend like she was scheduled. Well, that's not happening. We met with her Saturday night, and she told us that she thinks we are pushing her too hard towards her baptismal date (that she chose, not us) and that she just isn't ready and wants to take it a lot slower. Definitely one of the more disappointing appointments I've had on my mission thus far. I was so sad and frustrated. She was doing so good, I don't know what it is that she feels we are pushing her too hard to do. She quit smoking, she is living the law of chastity, she's reading the Book of Mormon, she was coming to church (she didn't yesterday...) I just don't know what we can do for her. But, I am hoping that it is just stress from going from 3 packs of cigarettes a day to none and that's why she's acting the way she is. If it's not that, then I have no idea what it is. So I have been and will continue to do some hardcore praying and hopefully we'll be able to figure something out with her.


So that's about it. We did a bit of tracting and handed out a lot of Books of Mormon, so we have a bunch of potentials, we just need to get in with them, and then things will start to take off and be better. And just for the record, I'm not discouraged, just frustrated. I haven't found anything so far that can get me discouraged, but there are plenty of frustrations. haha. Well, I hope you all have a good week. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you next week, I guess since the only email I got today was from Becca, but I'm not complaining about that :) Ok Love you all! Have a great week!

Love,
