Wow what a great week!
First off Amber, Alana and Lyncia Williams got baptized! It was awesome!
It was kinda hard for David because he relapsed so he wasn't able to be baptized with them.
But we were able to talk with him after and he was telling us that he was next!
Yesterday was pretty interesting at church we had 2 random visitors one was from Rose State College where he was taking a religion class, another was 'David' from Oklahoma Baptist University. I had the opportunity to sit next to David during sacrament and talk to him about what what happening. One thing that really stood out to him was that there wasn't a pastor (yeah when you Google 'what do Mormons believe?' you won't find this whole church is run by volunteers) But I was able to give him a Book of Mormon and testify.
I also went on an exchange this week with an Elder who really wants to go home... very bad. Man it was crazy just talking to him. I talked to him for about 2 hours in the morning and hopefully was able to help him out a little... one cool part was that I knew that this elder was struggling going into the exchange. He really wanted to go home because he can't handle his stress. He shared how watching tv and playing video games helped him back home... I asked him if they really did help him or did they just push off the stresses for a while... Well it came down to saying that the mission helps us figure out a cure for our stresses not just a delay. It was very cool to defend the mission and I really hope that the Elder stays out, he is great!
WELLL LOVE YALLL
