Week 68 Weekly Email...

Hello! Another week has come and gone... transfers are this week, so stay tuned next Monday to hear the news.

2 transfers remain

This week we put 3 people on date for baptism!! Kelly, Garth and Stephanie.

Kelly is adorable. We had a lesson with her Monday night and we finished teaching her the Plan of Salvation. When we talked about the Celestial kingdom, she said she wants to live there. So we felt prompted to ask her if she knew the Book of Mormon was true. She said yes. Then we said, if the BoM is true, then that means this is Jesus Christ's true church on the earth today. She said, yeah, that makes sense! So we invited her to be baptized and then we invited her to pray about it right then. She said a beautiful closing prayer and in the middle of it, after she had asked the question, she said, "I think we already know the answer to that one." Then she got teary-eyed and said, "I think this is what God wants me to do!" She is so sweet and is really excited about baptism! We put her on date for March 13th!!!

We also officially put Garth and Stephanie on date. We taught them the Restoration and Stephanie loved it! She said she is ready to give her life to God! We also sent her the 20 minute first vision video and she said it was very moving. They are amazing!

We tried a new finding method. Basically we just pick a number in our area, for example (802) 733- then we just start at 0000 and go up from there... now this area is very rural. So 68 of the 69 calls we made during that half an hour were disconnected... it was a little mind numbing. The next day that we did it, we started at a higher number and we have talked to a lot more people, or rather left voicemails instead of calling and hearing *beep beep beep* or "the number you dialed is not in service". So that was nice to do something new.

That's the major stuff from this week.

Love,

Sister Thacker
