Hello my friends and family! What a good week it was last week! We had so many good things happen in our area. We taught kylee! I don't know if I've talked about her but she is so awesome. She asked us to pray about a date for her to be baptized and we have come up with the 15th of December! But we want it to be her decision overall so we will see tomorrow where shes is! Also we are teaching a lady named debby! She is so funny. She came to church yesterday and we think she had a good experience Haha. Not sure yet cause we haven't had a chance to talk with her. We took her on a church tour and normally shes very talkative and kinda loud but once we stepped into the church her whole demeanor changed. We walked around and talked about the pictures of jesus. It was very powerful. Then we entered the chapel. And immediately the spirit rushed over all of us. Debby looked up with her hand on her chest and breathed in really deep and said "wow it feels so good in here. I can breath again." It was so cool! We sat I silence for a good 5 minutes and just let her feel the spirit. Then she looked at us with tears in her eyes and said "yeah I'm interested. I'll be at church on Sunday." I was so overjoyed. We have been trying to work with her for a long time. So that was really neat. Then on Saturday we had the Bobtism! BOB WAS BAPTIZED!!! It was such a neat experience. There was 3 men in the faunt with him because he in very unstable by himself. The whole process was amazing to watch. After he got baptized he was the happiest I've seen him. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Except for mine. I was just so happy! I was smiling so much my cheeks hurt! What a blessing it was to witness him choose the path of salvation. I sat in my chair and looked around and felt the peace of the Lord. I knew that his spirit was present and so were his angels. What a blessing.
I want to thank all of you for your support and prayers! I definitely feel them out here. I've had so much peace in my heart this last week. I love you all and hope you have a great week.
