SORRY ABOUT LAST WEEK!!!! Just had to get that out, didn't have any time to e-mail. Had a Zone-Fun Day in Anderson that the ZL's made me plan, and a survey for a member of the Seventy. So, again, sorry about that.
SO MUCH HAPPENED THE PAST 2 WEEKS!!!!! Our Investigator Chrissy finally made the decision that she wanted to get married. (She and her Less Active boyfriend have been living together for 12 years and have 2 daughters.) So they bought a marriage certificate (Funded by my wonderful companion) and got married 1 week later!! And then she got baptized!!! Woo-hoo!!! Miracles have rained down upon us. And she was able to kick smoking in the butt, which was super hard for her in the past!! You rock Chrissy!!! :D Sadly her 2 daughter's can't get baptized (yet), their Grandma has the actual custody and isn't allowing it. So we've got to soften her heart. Actually, let's just baptize her too, it'll make her life a lot better.
Yep, there's a picture of them and their marriage certificate. :D Everyone was so happy at the wedding. And the baptism, which a lot of investigators came to see. Very good week, lots of blessings. And now she's super excited for them to go to the temple in a year! Keep going Chrissy!
Wow, that felt good to get off my chest. Somehow I spaced getting pictures at the actual baptism..... whoops. I'm so bad with pictures. Oh, speaking of pictures, there's an adorable one of these 2 boys! One is LA returning to activity, the other is his non-member brother. We have permission to teach them, but their parents really need to get more on board. Chandler and his sister Destiny are getting baptized soon though!! Woo-hoo!!! LIFE IS SO AMAZING!!!!!
Oh yeah, and Bob is still doing great, still on track for November 8th for baptism. He's just got to get the Word of Wisdom down, and he'll be good to go!! He's committed to live it by this Friday, so he should be good... Pray for him though!! Satan doesn't like people getting baptized, so he works harder on them the closer they get. He can do it though, with God's help.
I hope I'm not forgetting anything!! Probably am, but whatever I got missionary work to do! Well, The Spirit is the one who does the actual work... So I got scriptures to read! Or something... Haha jk, I know exactly what I'm doing out here. I love you all very much, and know that the Savior loves you even more!! He is watching over you, whether you know it or not. Stay Strong!! :D
Love,
Elder Ellis
P.S. And keep smiling! It makes you live longer. I've survived all the way to 19! :D
OH YEAH!!! I totally forgot that it's Halloween on Friday. Happy Halloween everyone!!! I'm listening to a church hymn from lds.org right now, does that count? hehe :D
