So this week we had a great lesson with Steve about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is still working on fixing up his life, but enjoys learning about the gospel! He came to church yesterday and stayed for all 3 hours and enjoyed himself! The ward is pretty good about making him feel welcome which is always so helpful!
Another investigator is Anna. She loves to learn and we were able to teach her a bit about the Plan of Salvation this week! She isn't really willing to come to church yet because she has friends that she goes to church with, but she reads her Book of Mormon and prays so we are excited about her! We invited her to be baptized as she continues to learn about the gospel and know of its truthfulness and she accepted!
Our other investigator is Kathy, she has been frustrating me a bit lately! We didn't have a lesson with her this week because she wouldn't text us back... then we texted her to remind her about church... no reply. Sometimes it is hard to be patient, but we just keep praying that she will continue to progress!
We have a few more fun investigators in our teaching pool and we stay really busy having lessons which is a blessing!
Ann Gearry is a less active member that we have been working with for a while now. She loves our visits and always whips out her scriptures when we come. Her husband Errol just retired from work; in the past he has wanted nothing to do with the church or visitors from the church, but the last 2 visits he has sat and listened to the lessons!!! He is really sweet! So Ann is getting a surgery on an aneurysm soon and we talked to them about fasting and then invited them both to fast with us before Ann's surgery and they accepted!!! We are really excited that Errol is softening to us and our visits :)
This Saturday was a baptism. A lady in our ward named Sala had the Elders over to teach her 8 year old daughter about the gospel because she had been living in Fiji with her Aunt. Well she got baptized on Saturday and it was a very sweet baptism!
Funny story of the week! Sister Hiatt and I are walking down the street door knocking and we see this guy pushing a bird in a shopping cart! I decided I have to talk to him! So I run over and ask what kind of bird it is, it was a turkey! HAHA! I asked if he usually took it on walks and he laughed and said no, he was doing it because their flat was being inspected and they weren't allowed to have pets, so he was taking her for a little walk until the inspector left! HAHA
This week was a good one and a quick one! I am getting really excited for Mother's day since I will get to skype my family! I hope as Mother's day comes around we take the time to thank all the women in our lives, but especially our mothers, who have loved us and been there for us every step of the way! I have many women to thank in my life! I know that I wouldn't be who I am today without all the strong women I have had in my life to look up to!
Love you all! Have a good week everyone!
<3 Sister Golden
