My dear family! This has been quite the week! We've been
blessed with a lot of miracles and exciting things happening.
To start it all out, we went over to S' house last
Tuesday to help him quit smoking. He's the one who went to the bishop wanting
to be baptized. Well we asked him for his pack of cigarettes and he just up and
got them for us along with his lighter! I was all giddy inside! I've never had
someone give me their pack of cigarettes so that was awesome! We've checked up
on him a few times and he hasn't touched a cigarette since. However he's hung
up on his electronic cigarette... Any suggestions to get him off of that?
We also saw T this last week. I don't know if
I've talked much about her but she's a quadriplegic.
She's confined to a wheelchair and loves the gospel! She loves the pamphlets we
give out! She calls them "little lottery tickets." They all make a
ton of sense to her. The only thing that's keeping her back from being baptized
is that her van has been broken down and she's had no mode of transportation.
But guess what? She's getting it fixed! Her van wasn't in front of her
apartment the last few times we were in the area so we think it's in the shop!
Woo hoo!
Just for the record, there's this super good Southern
restaurant called Lizard's Thicket here in Columbia. Sister Manning and I
discovered it on Wednesday. Oh my lands. It was so good! The next day we had a
member meal and they were like "Hey! Let's go to Lizard's Thicket!"
We were okay with that because it was awesome! When we got there, the same
lady waited at our table. She kind of embarrassed us by saying "Didn't I
see y'all here last night?" "... Yes..." Our poor members felt
so bad that we had already gone there. It was just embarrassing all over the
place!
I have the best news ever! T P got confirmed
yesterday! *Cue celebratory dance* Oh man. I literally did a double take when I
saw her in church. She keeps giving me grief for it. She was like "I told
you I'd be here, Sister!" Man. I was so happy she was there! We finally
completed that baptism! I just can't tell you how great that was to get her
there! I know the Lord was teaching me patience in the month of February. I now
realize that I've grown a lot in helping T realize the importance in coming
to church. It was a pretty neat experience now looking back on it!
Well that's all I have for this week! I love y'all! Thanks
for all your love and support! Have a blessed week!
