This last week was a lot of fun!

Laury Windsor is all set to get baptized this Saturday. Her baptism is set for 6:00 pm and her husband received the Aaronic Priesthood today and will baptize her on Saturday! We're way excited for her! She's been a lot of fun to teach. She reminds me so much of mom.

This week when we were trying to see one of our investigators, her neighbor stepped outside with a beer in his hand and asked if we were Mormons.
He then said, "Oh, you know I was almost baptized Mormon once..."
"Why weren't you?" we asked him
"Well at the time I was on Parole and they said I would have to wait... that made me kind of mad so I stopped going."
We talked a little bit about repentance and about how the policies in the church are made under the direction of a Prophet of God and if something needed to be changed the Lord would do it through his Prophet.
"That makes sense." he said.
We then set up a time to see him the next day. (When he wasn't drunk) We taught him, he came to church the next day and has a baptism date for the 13th of November. We're excited for him to progress.

Jeanie and Jarom's dates dropped because they couldn't come to church. Jeanie still is sick and Jarom hasn't been able to change his work schedule yet. We're still working with him and hopefully we'll be able to get them progressing soon.

Other than that not a lot going on. We found a few other investigators and are trying to help them gain a sincere desire.

Hope all is well back home. Love you all!
