Dear Mom, Dad, Lauren, and Ian,
Howdy! Happy late May 4th! Lol! It made me laugh that
you're still watching Big Bang Theory. :D
I don't have a whole lot to write about today. We did
something really nice for our neighbor that lives below us. She and her family
aren't members, but they are really good friends with the missionaries and they
are always taking good care of us. So for her birthday this past Saturday, the
4 of us bought her a cake and we had a little celebration to thank her for
everything. She really appreciated it! We sang happy birthday to her with her
kids and she cried, lol ^_^ She actually told us that she would like her son to
be a missionary because of all the cool stuff she's seen the missionaries do!
The progress in the area is good, but at a pretty slow
pace. We're trying to pick it up a little. This week we have had good citas,
but I'm afraid that our only baptismal date has fallen through. The
investigator said that she was not sure if she could keep a commitment that we
gave her. At least she was honest and told us straightway, and that also means
that she doesn't feel forced by us to be baptized. That's a good thing, because
as missionaries, we invite people to do things, but we never obligate. Perhaps
she just needs more time to build her own testimony and not rely on the words
of our own. We'll still be around to help that investigator. ^_^
That's all I have to write about this week. It isn't
terribly long. But I'll try and look for more adventure and little things to
share with you next week! ^_^ Happy Cinco de Mayo! Miss you all!! Love you all
:) Can't wait to talk you all on Mother's Day!
