As the title states, life is great. Really, it is just so great. Being a missionary is incomparable to anything else, and there truly is no way to describe it. The only way to know how it feels is to be one yourself. And everyone can do that! Members make awesome missionaries. Haha, anyways, life's good.
Another fantastic week, lots of good lessons. We had Steph and her 3 kids over at the bishop's house and had dinner with him and his wife. We have an awesome bishop here by the way, he is very missionary minded! And he loves the heck outta us. :D Love that guy. So the dinner went really well, and she had a great talk with the bishop and his after dinner. She's reading the Book of Mormon, she believes everything we've taught her, and is progressing really well. She's made lots of friends in the ward as well, and they're willing to help out. She wasn't able to come to church yesterday because she wanted to put in her 2 weeks notice before just dropping the job, she feels bad for her employers cause they need her alot. But she's awesome! Oh yeah, and she was getting a bunch of crap from friends and co-workers about coming to our church, and she just puts them in there place! haha tells them they don't know anything about the church so they can't say anything about it. She's sticking up for us! We're very excited for her, and her kids as well, they're so dang adorable.
Paul's doing very well also, we had dinner with him in a member's home, he's keeping commitments, and he was at church yesterday. He's still working towards August 29 for baptism, and he's loving the church. He's like 52. Cool guy.
There were also a lot of other people that we've been teaching, but most of them ditched out on church yesterday, which was pretty disappointing. But we've got a lot more up our sleeves to get them there next week, so through faith the miracles will happen. Randy and his family agreed to work towards Sept. 13 for baptism as well, so we just need to get them some awesome fellowship as well so they'll come to church. The fellowship opens people up for the spirit to come in and testify of the truthfulness of our message, so its very important. But anyways, its great here in Richmond!! :D The work in going forward. Don't be afraid to pray for these people! it makes a difference. You are all amazing and I love you! Have a great week! :D
