Our new investigator!! Story time!!! So that woman that drove up to the church....SHE'S AMAZING!!!

Teaching her the first lesson was a suuuper spiritual experience. She told us that a few weeks ago when she met us she called her daughter later that night because she was excited. She could tell something was different...and all we did was get her info that day. She's already said that she felt like she was missing something and she knows that this is it. Just teaching her was spiritual. She really is yearning for truth. It was amazing!!! And then at the end of the lesson we extended a baptismal invitation and she said yes so we asked her if she would be baptized on the 17th of December. She started to cry because that's her birthday!!! She was sooo prepared to hear this gospel. For 55 years, Heavenly Father has been preparing her for this! She's going to love this gospel and become a strong member. She wants a personal relationship with God and I know that she'll find that through this great church! Sister Sprouse and I walked out of that lesson just amazed. We're SOOOOO BLESSED. Being involved in someone's life when they're making this great and joyous change is special opportunity. Serving a mission truly is a privilege!

We have 1 baptism this Saturday. Woot woot!! We were going to have 4 (that 1 plus the 3 children who are getting baptized before their parents) but we've decided to work on having the whole family be baptized together. It will be one SPECIAL day!!!

We have another family that's so great. They are a lessactive family with 2 children who are 14 and 10 and aren't baptized....but they will be in December!!! And a cute little 4 year old too. The 10 year old's a little nervous of the water, which is cute, but he's still excited. They're amazing! They've been wanting to come back to church but haven't really done it. They need us to get in there and give them a gentle little push. They want to be strong in the gospel! They're ready to be committed to it! They have a very strong family and a house full of love (which is refreshing and very different from other families we teach) and they will find so much more of that as they follow Jesus Christ! :)

We really are so blessed! Sister Sprouse and I find ourselves saying a lottttt of thankful prayers! MISSIONARY WORK ROCKS!!!!!
