"What a wonderful week! So Floyd's baptism..... AMAZING! So beautiful and
President and Sister Turner came and there were 47 people there!!!!!!!! Wow, it
was just perfect. I felt so so happy. Still do :) And Michael and Kendra came
too. Kendra is a member and Michael is her boyfriend who wants to be baptized
and is very elect. We just have to work out a few kinks, please pray for them.
We taught them earlier Saturday afternoon at a member's home with their family.
One of the coolest lessons ever. The kids are a little autistic, but very
intelligent and kind. They basically taught our lesson for us :) they were
perfect. It is amazing what happens when you teach in a member's home and have
their family gathered around a precious soul is striving to make huge changes in
his/her life. They just lift them up.
Ft. Jackson yesterday... :) so I had the opportunity to teach Pvt. Hodge
(a girl) before church the Restoration and the 4 commandments we teach and she
REALLY wanted to be baptized but she was only 17 and she needed permission. So
we quickly went to Sister Larsen, one of the senior missionaries and she called
Pvt. Hodge's mom for her (soilders aren't allowed to during basic) and she did
not answer the first couple of times. Sacrament meeting had started and Sister
Larsen came in and said her mom said yes!!!!!!! Hooray! So we snatched her out
of the meeting after the Sacrament and interviewed her and she, along with
another soilder I helped teach got baptized!!!! Heavenly Father provides
miracles when we show our faith.
I love y'all so much and y'all our in my prayers each day. Keep on keepin'
as they say in the South :)"
