Last Full Week to Work!

I can’t believe that Carter will be home in 10 days! He will give his homecoming talk in church on Sunday the 25^th at 9 am at our building on the corner  of 400 N. and 300 E. We will have refreshments at our house after. Everyone is invited to join us.

I got after him for the short emails. So here is his version of a long one.

On Tuesday we had a sweet experience. We were knocking doors, trying to find people to baptize and such, when we felt that we should be somewhere else. So we prayed and asked where we were supposed to be. We were directed to knock some apartments down the road. After knocking a few doors, we found the building that we were there for. We knocked the first door downstairs. When the lady answered she asked if we were from San Antonio. We were a little confused, then she explained that 2 weeks ago (to the day) her "partner" received a Priesthood Blessing from the Austin Ward Missionaries. She was ill in the hospital, and passed away the next day. It was a very spiritual experience for everyone who was there. She let us schedule a return appointment for the next day. The next day we taught her about the Resurrection and the Book of Mormon. It was a good lesson. She accepted the invitation to be baptized when she knows the Book is true.

On Wednesday we had a Zone meeting, it was my last one. Depressing. I enjoyed it though.

Thursday before weekly planning I was craving an Avocado like crazy, so we ran to HEB and I bought one. I was very happy after that.

Friday Morning we helped a Recent Convert move into our ward. He was baptized about a year ago, and he is getting married in the temple in a month or two. We are excited to have her in our ward.  That night we taught some of our Progressing Investigators with some awesome members. I love our investigators.

Saturday we knocked all day and worked like dogs, with not much initial success. We built faith though.

Sunday was good, nobody came to church but that's alright. We will go chastise them promptly, and invite them to repent.

Well, I hope that is long enough for all you people. I love you guys, talk to you soon, and see you soon too!
