Investigators

So this week has been amazing. 

We have this investigator E, who had come to church once and we had taught once. Our second appointment was for after church on Sunday and we really wanted to set her with a baptism date for June 20. She loved church- during gospel principles, she made some really good comments about prayer. Then after Sacrament Meeting we went to a classroom to teach her a lesson. We had planned to teach her the Restoration, but then she started asking questions about baptism, and told us that she wanted some sort of goal in her life. Hmm. Perfect! So we taught her the gospel instead. At the end we invited her to be baptized on the 20th. But then she said that she'll be out of town because she's going home to Moldava for a month. So we then asked her to be baptized June 13 and she accepted! She said she'd pray about it to know if it was right, but she accepted the date as a goal to work for! We're super excited for her! She is so elect and ready for the gospel.
The only problem is that we had thought the 20th would be pushing it to teach everything to her beforehand. Especially since we now have to teach the fifth lesson before baptism. She has a job that keeps her super busy and can meet with us max. twice a week, and sometimes only once. Then you add in our crazy schedule because we're traveling to to scambi, and setting appointments gets a little trickier.  But we're super excited for this date, and are putting it in the Lord's hands. Somehow we'll have the time and ability to teach her everything.

Our other baptism date C. is doing well as well. Earlier in the week we went with a member to teach her the Plan of Salvation. At the end she asked us why we were against coffee. We told her we'd talk about it the next time. 

At first she was pretty defensive, after all, what's a cup of coffee? But as we and a member bore testimony, she calmed down and accepted to try and live the Word of Wisdom for a week!

I love seeing the blessings of the Lord in our lives. It amazes me everyday that I'm able to serve Him and do His work. It doesn't matter my fears, my faults, my weaknesses, or my mistakes. He takes my best effort and magnifies it into more than I could ever do.

You all are amazing! 

I love you!
