We had an awesome 4th of July here in Virginia! We spent the night
with the Wise family in Vienna! It was good to be with the Wise family
again. We ate with them and their missionaries (our zone leaders)
were with us too. We had a really good time, and ate tons of super
amazing food! We found out the Wise family love riddles and that was
the subject of talk for most of the night haha I'll put one of them at
the end of this letter. We heard lots of fireworks but of course
couldn't see them ☹️
We had an amazing lesson with our investigator Patricia! We taught her
about the 10 commandments using Mosiah 13 and we talked about her
baptismal date. She has been trying to think of a date but we helped
her out and invited her to be baptized on August 12 and she readily
accepted and agreed! We got her ON DATE!! 😃 were super excited for
Patricia.
She also came to church yesterday...along with 3 other of our
investigators!!! It was an amazing week as far as getting people to
church and helping people progress towards baptism. Patricia even
introduced herself in gospel principles class by adding the fact that
she's preparing to be baptized soon. We are beyond happy for her.
We also had a baptism we attended in Old Town Ward on Saturday. Our
Spanish senior couple, the LeSuers took us and we show up and Elder
Cottle and Brunsdale are filling up the font with buckets, a hose and
the font filling up the normal way hahaha they had shown up 45 minutes
before the baptism and they had forgotten to start filling up the font
but amazingly they did it!! Haha! A lady named Joanna was baptized and
Elder Andrus had found her. It was a good service.
Yeah so we had a ton of people at church along with the Hermanas! We
made up half of our zone's church attendance key indicator. That's
basically what happened this week. We have an awesome Noche de Hogar
set up for Patricia tonight in a member's home. She's getting
baptized!! Have a good week!
