Working hard

So anyway, weather update, I'm pretty sure that I've already told you that North Dakota has the fastest changing weather in the world. Well get this, with us having to go to Mandan now, we made a trip over there earlier this week, the sky was bright and blue, hardly a cloud in the sky, the momment we hit the Mandan border, I had to turn on my windshield wipers to full to be able to see anything it was so bad. Then just 3 minutes later, blue skys again! I love North Dakota... haha


But yeah, eventful week, we got 2 new people on date this week, bringing us to a total of 5, Dion ------, was put on date earlier this week by Elder Callor on his last day in town (he did that on purpose btw, so he could say he put Dion on date) Dion is Curtis's foster child, I've told you about Curtis (BTW, he asked for our phone number so watch out he might call you someday haha) anyway, so Elder Callor, convinced Dion to taking the missionary lessons and then getting baptized... I'm not quite so sure on how we're going to teach him since we know him too well, and he has ADHD. It's like trying to talk to your best friend about the gospel, it just doesn't really work too well, but we'll figure it out and hopefully he'll go through with it.

Also, we got a lady named Denise _________ on date today, she's a native who has next to no religious background. She loves the lessons and especially about prayer and faith as she has seen a marked increase in her life since she has begun praying and having faith that things will turn out all right. She may be on Parol, but we're going to have a 'law of the land' lesson with her to find out where she stands, honestly it's just getting out the big lessons now, we've taught the doctrine lessons, now we just got to teach her the, WOW, chastity, tithing, fasting, LotL, so we better get to work, I really hope that she is willing to change.

You may be thinking huh, why is it that you are putting people on date to be baptized before they know too much, many times when they learn that they can be baptized they start working harder to meet that goal, other times, it becomes harder for them to make any progress at all, but I have faith that as we keep teaching them they will continue to want to go further in the gospel.
