Howdy Y'all


The week went pretty well.  We didn't teach a whole lot, but we did a little more work with the members, and some people finally made it to church.  It's so hard to get people to see how much that simple little trip on sunday will help them, but when they finally come, they almost always notice a significant defference in their lives, right away. 
It was pretty funny at church, this week.  We had those investigators there, and there weren't too many people showing up, and a nearly empty chapel isn't usually a good thing when you're investigating the church... but five minutes before the meeting, about fifty EFY counselors who'll be in town for a couple weeks walked in and filled the chapel.  That'll have to tide us over until the rest of our members get back from vacation.
We also had a kind of cool experience with a guy we found last week, and set with a baptismal date...  we had lost touch with him immediately after that, but recently discovered that that was because he got a call from a job he'd been hoping for, soon after we left, and had to start working a lot immediately.  The best part was that he recognized the correlation between meeting us and accepting what we taught, and the outpouring of blessings.  He's excited to bring his wife and kids to church this coming weekend. 
Well, that's pretty much it for the week...  I'll take some new pictures and send them next week.  I don't remember what all I've already sent...
Have a good one!
