Hey everyone!
Things here have been going so well! We have been teaching a lot and running around like crazy! The weather here has been crazy it seems like it's going to rain every morning, and then it chooses to either pour....and I mean pour, or it just magically clears up and we don't have to deal with it! I've been told it rains here no matter what season it is so we just keep our umbrellas in the car haha!
We have been working with some great people, and some people who want to make us pull our hair out! We have Wykeria and Nataysha....well let me rephrase that we have Wykeria and Nataysha's mother who is a Less Active member and we are teaching her girls on request from her which is great. The only problem is she NEVER remembers our appointments and her girls are not allowed to hear our message unless she's home (her rule not ours, we even bring a member everytime so that we won't be alone with the kids). The last time really tested my patience we had an appointment and afterwards we were going to make up an hour of studies, well she wasn't home so we told the girls to call her (she won't answer our calls) and tell her we will be back in an hour because they said she was out with her boyfriend. We went and studied and came back. They said she still wasn't home and her response to our coming over was "Ok Whatever.." I strongly dislike it when people waste others time. Candace has still fallen off the face of the earth, so we decided to let the Elders who have been teaching her to figure it out because we are getting no where.
Now the people who make it all worth while. Claude is doing so well (the guy we found in the lone trailer at the end of a long dirt road) he is on date to be baptized and accepts everything we teach him! We are a little worried about our next lesson tomorrow on the Word of Wisdom because he smokes and drinks coffee a lot!!! ah! but we have been praying that his heart will be softened and that all will go well. Jodi and Robert have been doing pretty good as well...They fell off date because they did not come to church yesterday. Jodi had to help with a family member who was in the hospital and Robert did not get up until 11:30, so he obviously missed our 10:00 church. Our shining glory of an investigator,Dustin, was there and was so attentive during all three hours it was amazing! He is already working on his Word of Wisdom issues and we haven't even gotten to that lesson yet, yeah so easy to teach him. He will be baptized on the 13th of this month.
We are not 100% sure how the broadcast will effect us yet. As of right now it has cut our tracting time way down and the ward has been getting even more involved. We have also started teaching the 1st lesson to active members in our ward so that they would be able to tell their friends and family about what we teach and what they need to know. Other than that we are waiting on our mission president to tell us how to handle the other changes that have taken place.
It sounds like all is going great at home! Send me some pictures of this fearless little swimmer that Roo has turned into!!! I love and miss y'all so much!!
Have a Blessed Day!!
Love,
~Sister Anderson
