The family I told you about,
Michael and Jennifer? They were baptized on Saturday 17 August. YEAH! That was
a really cool experience, we had 6 people baptized on Saturday for our ward
alone. (4 of those were the Elders in our ward who are basically Alma and
Amulek.) They asked me to speak on Baptism. I didn't throw up on anyone, so I
call it a success! Their daughter Tess was in the way back jumping up and down
and waving frantically "HI SISTER HALL!!!" Until I said Hi. Our
District leaders were there as well as several other sets of missionaries. Over
100 people came to support all the new members! There were 2 others baptized on
Saturday from 2 other wards in our zone. It was a successful week!
Unfortunately now that puts us
without investigators. Which means we need to hit the pavement and find more!
Not my favorite part, but I'll dig it for now! We have a lot of people who know
the Gospel is true, they know of the peace that is found in the Savior's love.
It's just a matter of getting in the door and letting them realize it for
themselves! And everyone we seem to find, the other missionaries typically get,
because they live in their area. Bah!
Not much has happened this week
aside from that! We teach a lot. There is enough work in our two wards for 4 or
5 sets of missionaries. So we are loving that. We had this one solid girl who
is 22. She LOVED everything we taught her and wanted to be baptized the next
day!!! And we haven't heard from her since. There are pit bulls in her yard
that won't let us up to the door to knock. I can tell you one thing, they
probably don't have many solicitors!
We witnessed a high speed chase! In Hemet! (Where the top
speed in 35 mph... Cool...) They must have had their entire police force
following him, there were 13 going hot, and another 6 following behind non
emergent. It was entertaining to watch.
Hmmm. I think that's it. This
week hasn't been too exciting! I'm loving the work and ready for more!
Oh, I had an allergic reaction
to walnuts again. I now am a proud owner of an epi-pen (will be when it gets
here in the mail) I'm under strict order by the doctor to take 50mg of benadryl
a day. I sleep a lot.
Anyway, I love you all!
Still no letters. I think our
mission office lost them. That's the reason, right?
I read all your emails. I love
them all! Thank you for remembering me!!
(Brother Edit: Sorry for the delay folks, lost Dibe's info. Here's last weeks email! Her Prep days are Mondays, so, there should be a new update tomorrow or Tuesday)
