Baptism on Deck!

Hey friends and family!

     I hope your week is going well and that you are working hard and that hard work is paying off!

     We had a great miracle this week. We found someone who is going to be baptized on the 26 of March. His name is brother Rainwater. We met him about a month and a half ago and had given him a Book of Mormon and commit him to read it. Since that time of reading it, we hadn't been able to get it contact with him because of -- a recent divorce, his son being murdered and surgeries!?! But while he was in the hospital he found the peace and comfort that came from what he read in the Book of Mormon! He finished it! And he started yesterday again to study out of it so he can get more out of it! He didn't come to church yesterday because of timing.... We were saddened but he has three more weeks to go for! Yay!

     We did our best this week and worked hard as well as we could. I am still surprised about each time that we talk to someone and just by sharing what we know they get upset. Yesterday we knocked on a mans door to tell him that his hazard lights were still on in his car. He came out and after looking at it, offering to help we started to share the gospel with him. This old man got right in my face and raised his voice at me and probably was ready to push me..... He said we needed to leave and that was that. I walked away with sister Ferrell ready to yell in the air and probably gnash my teeth and probably throw a fit.

     But I took a deep breath and opened the Book of Mormon which told me to watch my thoughts, words and deeds.... Haha you think I could handle rude comments, rejections and things like that better but I know that Heavenly Father's spirit calmed me down we were able to find someone interested in having us come back. Then this morning I read about Aaron and how the people were hardened and wouldn't listen and I definitely felt comfort in knowing I'm not the one seeing this. The world is getting uglier but that makes the gospel a whole lot brighter!

     I'm doing well, this area is doing well, we are continually
progressing and working hard. We are excited again for zone meeting!

     It will be a great opportunity to set new goals, tune old ones and
strengthen others!

     Not much to report on this week! I hope ya'll find miracles this week and feel Heavenly Father's spirit with you always!
