3/12/12

Greetings from Folsom, CA! Things are going well here. Jo is doing great since her baptism. The ward has already assigned her VTs and HTs and she's been visited by auxiliary presidencies from the ward. I love wards that love converts. Another one of our investigators is very close to setting a baptismal date--her name is Amy. She is married to a member of the ward and she's been investigating since last June. She didn't want to rush into it because she wanted to make sure her decision was for her and not for her husband. She's decided that the time is right and she's very ready. Now all that's keeping her from setting a date is she needs to find a weekend she'll for sure have custody of her son, who is 5 and very cute. Looks like she'll be an April baptism! I'm very excited. Another cool thing that happened this week is that our investigator Jessica's husband came to church with her for the first time. He's a nonmember and is supportive of her investigating, but he hasn't wanted much to do with it till now. I'm hoping that this gives Jessica the hope she needs to move forward with baptism. I'm really hoping for two April baptisms. How great would that be? Tracting/finding has been fairly discouraging lately, but we're pressing forward. Hope everyone's doing great!

Addendum: I can't believe this, but I almost forgot--another Apostle came to speak to us this week! I got to sit in the very front row as none other than L. Tom Perry spoke to us! It was amazing! He is so funny and sweet and very passionate about getting the wards involved in missionary work. I love him, and I feel so lucky!
