Well, I have a very
exciting surprise this week! Bonnie is getting baptized this week!
Yay! :D We set her date for Friday because a lot of the branch is going
to the temple on Saturday. I can't believe all that she has done!
She has so much determination and faith. We talked to her on Saturday and
she said she had laid her clothes and everything out for church the next day.
That really touched my heart. Going to church on Sundays is not easy for
her, but she has been putting forth the greatest effort to come anyway.
On Sunday morning she was late and came in during the prayer, looking
completely lost. We hadn't seen her yet but the lady who leads the music
did and went over and helped her. Bonnie said that meant a lot to
her. I love Bonnie! She really is just surrounding herself with
everything she can of the gospel. We downloaded the gospel library app
for her and she loves it! She has already gotten two quads, and her own
hymnbook too. It just amazes me! Her family doesn't really like
anything to do with church but her daughter wants to come to her baptism!
We are so excited! I hope everything goes well this week and she will be
physically and spiritually able to do everything needs to!
Also, we had a pretty
neat surprise on Sunday. Two former investigators in our area came to
church! One of them came with a friend for sacrament meeting and then
left right after so we didn't really get to talk to her. The other one I
had never met before but ended up sitting right next to during sacrament
meeting, haha. That turned out good. I introduced myself right
after. It was a part member couple. Apparently, she had wanted to
get baptized a long time ago but her husband wouldn't let her. The
husband said next week they are going to the Catholic church. I really
want to start working with them but the branch mission leader made an
appointment with them and is taking the elders. Either way I guess they
will be seeing missionaries, which is awesome! :)
I love the Fond du Lac
branch it is pretty great here! We are doing a lot of finding right now
but things are looking good. The hardest part is trying to get back in
with people after you meet them for the first time. We are working on the
follow up :) We are doing missionary Mondays with the seminary class here
and it is really fun! They made plan of salvation t-shirts that had
circles on it and said "you are here" on the one for earth one, then
they see if anyone asks them what it is.
Well, hope you all have
a wonderful week! Love you! The church is greatly true!
