5 Months and a Baptism!

Well here we are again everyone! And today marks my 5 months out on a mission! Can you believe that?

me neither. 

So it was a good week! 

-We had dinner with Brandon and Nichelle and we did an object lesson and their son Nathaniel loved it! he is like 9 and he went and told another mom in our ward all about it and how it helps us get to christ. Yes he rocks. haha

-We were able to go up to the visitors center at the oakland temple! the youth were going to do baptisms and sis goodman and I kindly volunteered to stay with the 2 non member girls at the visitors center (we really wanted to go and we can only go with investigators so we were really excited!) 

-It was great both alyssa and selma were crying and they just loved it!

-We saw miss ruby! she still hasnt read or prayed but she told us that she told her manager that "she had her girls coming over today do to bible study and she just loves how she feels when we come over" awesome thats the spirit now read the book of mormon! oh well maybe she will by our appointment next month. slow and steady wins the race!

-We got to see sister miller! she is an inactive in our ward that is an elderly lady. its great we read a scripture and she smiles at us and says thats so nice! thank you and then changes the subject. I was with sis ellis that day and I told her thats what she would do and after the appointment sis ellis was dying laughing because thats exactly how it went down.

-BRANDONS BAPTISM!

-it was great, he was so excited and he got a suit for it and his family was excited and so many people came that we had to move everyone into the chapel for the service! it was amazing! 

-We have a new investigator Vera. We had the elders give her a blessing and after she gave them hugs. they aren't supposed to hug women. It was hilarious. 

-Oh Sister Ellis and I build a fort. that was fun. mostly because we wanted to put the heater under it and stay warm. haha

Welll it was an amazing week with many miracles, I hope you all had a good week and I know this church is true!

love you!
