Another while in Henderson



Transfers came and gone and as I'm sure you picked up, I'm still in Henderson! I love it here. This past weekend was amazing! Lauryn and Dwight got married and the wedding was awesome. They ended up deciding that there'd be too much going on for her to be baptized the same day so I'll be baptizing her this upcoming Saturday!

Elder Bennett went home. It was really sad because he's became my best friend. It was really kind of hard to see him leave our flat for the last time and that I wouldn't see or hear him for 19 months. But that's okay because you guys can! He reports his mission in Malad next week!

The Halls have changed their date to the 23rd of August. They feel that they aren't ready yet. Which is okay. They are still progressing smoothly. In fact, she told us the other day that she feels that the Lord prepared them to meet us! We were both very happy to hear her say that!

Amelia and her daughters will most likely have their date moved to the same day. We weren't able to see them for 2 weeks because they went away for holiday. They are still very keen to be baptized so we aren't too worried about them.

We met a couple called Ross and Jenna... They were a referral from the sisters...The first time we met with them we taught them a first. What an experience. It was amazing. The spirit was so strong and they just loved it. We went back to teach the P.O.S. and it was even better then the first lesson we had. We both could tell that the spirit was confirming to them what we were teaching. It was probably one of the most spiritual moments of the mission so far.


Elder Dixon was testifying at the end and I was think to myself of what they needed to hear. So as you could probably guess, the spirit told me to tell them about Ian and his story and how it affected us. So I did, and man oh man was it amazing! I showed them the pictures on my case and they were just eating it up and it was just so filled with the spirit. I almost lost it a couple times. After that it was just awesome. They comitted to pray and read again and that we could come visit this week and teach them more! It was a great thing!

Tracy and Shannen are doing really well now. They've came to church a couple times now and we've been able to have proper lessons with them in their homes which is really good! They are progressing and they are beginning to understand everything!

Well that's just a briefing of what's going on. It's awesome right now.
