That awesome that Colby is off and away, he'll be a solid missionary. Shout out to Jace for making it to Brazil. B dog, hope you're able to get over that sore throat of yours! Gurgle some of Bazil's water, it'll do you good. hehe just kidding.
Well last week we got in touch with some investigators we haven't seen in a while, which was a blessing, and set up a lot of return appointments for this week. We spent a lot of time also in Waurika, helping one of our investigators, T. She's been progressing really well. She hasn't been taking huge leaps and bounds like we hoped, or really like most people would, but for the spiritual, physical, and emotional state she's in, the steps she is taking are huge for her. We taught her the Word of Wisdom, and helped her understand that to be spiritually clean we need to be physically clean as well. We text or call her each day to give her a reminder to not drink coffee or beer. We're going to get to cigarrettes later... Haha but she did come to church this week, which was good. She'll come the first two hours, but leaves the 3rd, because she feels uncomfortable because she doesn't feel "holy" enough for the group of woman that meet.
Elder Lott and I had a neat experience this week too. I., an LA woman who takes care of J., one of our investigators, told us this week something that really built my testimony. She thanked us for being who we are, and said that other elders are nice, but the two of us have really helped her have the desire to want to come back to church, and teach her understanding. She's been inactive for 20 years, so it built my testimony like I said that there are people that only we can touch in the area's that we serve in. Other than that Elder Lott and I have hit the pavement and are out finding finding finding! Now that we've got some great trust established with the ward we're leaning on them now to start going out of their comfort zone and do some missionary work! Our bishop's family has really stepped it up, it's been awesome. Thanks for your prayers and support! Let me know if I can ever do anything for ya. Love you!!
